Business is a series of interruptions, interrupted by more interruptions 

 That’s one of my favorite business quotes.  And it’s true.  Running a business takes so much time that you may feel like you spend more time  working in your business than working on your business.

That’s where 25-8 Marketing can help.

25-8 Marketing can help design and implement a marketing plan for your business.  It’s like having a marketing director on staff, without paying the salary or healthcare benefits.

25-8 Marketing can handle all your advertising and promotions professionally and easily.  With over 20 years of experience, it’s what I do best.  And that allows you to do what you do best.  Run your  business...with less interruptions.

Entrepreneurial start-ups and small businesses can be perfect fits for  25-8 Marketing.   When business revenues reach $500,000 there is often a need to get help with accounting, legal issues and marketing.  This is a good time to consider the help of my services.

 Or if you are currently frustrated with the results of your marketing, and would like a media-neutral opinion of what you are  doing, let’s discuss your challenges through a free initial consultation.  If you're in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area - let's grab a cup of coffee.

"Chris, It was a delight to have you attend our Associates Leadership Council Meeting on Tuesday, March 11th, 2008.  There were 25 associates in attendance and all were entertained and enlightened.  Several of our agent business partners/associates came to me after your presentation and shared their newly formed ideas and suggest that you got their 'creative juices' flowing.  One of our largest teams said they will be contacting you to assist them because you can save them time and money.  Thank you! 

We all appreciate you sharing your professional marketing data and ideas. We would love to have you back when you can fit it into your schedule.  Dare to be remarkable!"
