"I think many entrepreneurs and consultants have great ideas, but don't necessarily have all the training or skills to execute them," states Jane Tabachnick, founder of the Marketing Department For Hire. She cites the Top 5 reasons small businesses don't market themselves is because many: - think of Marketing as a dirty word. - are not comfortable with marketing - they find it particularly hard to toot their own horn - are too busy taking care of existing clients to have time to market and keep the pipeline full - don't plan a strategy and set goals - have small or non-existent budgets According to an April 2004 Inc. Magazine article entitled, Brains For Hire by Suzanne McGee, "Each year, countless professionals leave their corporate jobs to become consultants. But launching a consultancy is a lot harder than you might think. New entrepreneur Tim Armitage states, 'A challenge today is something I used to be able to pass on to other departments. Now, there's no one to call.'" The Marketing Department For Hire is that someone to call - or email. It's an ideal solution for business owners who want to boost their business success but have a shoestring budget. For a little more than the cost of a Starbucks Latte a day, it offers expert consulting and training to help business owners run their own marketing programs, while avoiding costly mistakes. For those with larger budgets, they provide campaign management and other services. It can save time and money through its directory of proven resources that produce quality work in smaller quantities. Founder Jane Tabachnick has worked with entrepreneurs for 20 years as a faculty volunteer with the American Women' Economic Development Corps. "It was through my work at AWED, that I have seen the excitement and passion of entrepreneurs, as well as their needs, challenges and frustrations," stated Ms. Tabachnick. "This lead to development of products - books, guides, teleclasses and CDRoms geared towards small business owners. The Marketing Department For Hire is a natural extension of those products. While there are no guarantees for making a small business startup successful, business owners can eliminate some risks by careful planning, thorough preparation, expert guidance and maximizing their budgets, no matter how limited. The Marketing Department for hire plans to roll out other services offerings; The first one will be The Complete Ezine, - a professionally written, affordable, fully brand able email newsletter for small business owners who want to use email marketing but don't have the time or know how to do it themselves.
