Maketing Made Easy with a virtual assistant in Minnesota


Do you stress out over marketing your business in Minnesota?   Do you already feel like you are putting in WAY more hours than you should keeping up things online?  Marketing made easy with a virtual assistant in Minnesota. 

Holly Sobrack of Westbrack Marketing  specializes in marketing small Minnesota businesses.  "When I started my business, I was asked by a customer if I could take over all of his marketing.  Of 'course, I said 'yes".  What I was not prepared for were the amount of sales calls he was getting every day.  The choices of where to put his advertising dollars was massive."  

"The key is to make sure he was targeting the RIGHT people.  So, I worked with him to pick only things that would drive new Minnesota customers and sales.  We came up with a budget and stuck to it.", said Sobrack.

The results were growth but more rewarding was that the small business owner was able to finally be free of the stress and anxiety of making all the marketing decisions himself.  With Westbrack Marketing, he had someone looking out for him and making sure his message was in sync across all platforms.  Westbrack Marketing handled all his website changes, email marketing and social media updates.  And, it was all as a virtual assistant so he did not have to provide computers, office space or insurance.

"I have years of marketing experience," said Sobrack, "and love being able to help people grow their small business without big dollars and without stress.   One customer hugged my in the parking lot with tears in her eyes, telling me I had no idea the stress I just took off her shoulders.  THAT is why I do what I do."

If you own a small business in Southern Minnesota and want to make marketing easy, contact Westbrack Marketing today.    We can come to you or we can be your virtual assistant.

Handing the keys to your car to your Faribault teen?

Handing the keys to your car to your Faribault teen?
 
As parents here in Faribault, MN we are lucky to have low traffic, almost no congestion and great open roads all around us in Rice & Steele Co.  We like taking care of our cars by checking the oil, tires, and doing regular maintenance on them, it’s the things we can pay attention to.  What we find as parents is getting to pay attention to our teens driving.  It’s easy to plan for an oil change as the odometer moves up but how do you plan for how fast your teen is driving your car down highway 60 or how fast they may be driving South on I-35?

 
American Family’s TeenSafe Driver Program is provided at no cost to our insureds.  Our program allows you as a parent to monitor your vehicle.  American Family and me as your agent will not have access to your TeenSafe account.  You will be given thru our vendor DriveCam the ability to see via video your teen’s driving behavior.  Not only is the program at no cost to you as our insured but your teen will receive a 10% discount on their auto insurance for years after as a reward for being on this program.
