A Message from Our Gold Sponsor

Visionworks Marketing Group has been serving businesses of all sizes for 21 years. We’ve seen hundreds of companies come and go, and the causes vary. One common mistake many businesses make is with marketing—or lack thereof. It’s a facet of a business plan often overlooked, or underemphasized. Marketing dollars are commonly the first ones cut from a tight budget, and marketing hours are typically the first ones neglected in a busy work week. To be clear: businesses that shrug off marketing as expendable are usually the ones that close their doors for good. Done correctly, effective marketing will keep your door open, through good times and bad. In order to sell your wares, you’ve got to sell yourself. Repeatedly. Continuously. And with consistency.

Effective marketing doesn’t have to cost a tremendous amount of money. It should, however, be planned and implemented with a strategy in mind. Visionworks Marketing Group specializes in the strategic execution of clever, consistent marketing plans. Join us at the QMB on March 1 to find out how we are helping our clients reach and exceed their goals. No matter the size of your budget, together we can find ways to bolster your business through a plethora of marketing channels.

Don’t spend more. Spend more wisely.
