How a little boy with cancer taught his Dad a more effective way to market!

Hi, Mark Holloway here. This is the story of how my son taught me these COMMON SENSE ways to increase sales for small to medium businesses just like yours.

Twenty-five years ago I was young. I was in marketing. And I had too high an opinion of myself. I was hell-bent on producing clever brand marketing. My work was winning advertising and marketing awards, and I was having a grand old time. And although the marketing I made for my clients created lots of awareness, it generated very few sales. I didn’t know it then, but that is typical of all brand advertising – it makes people aware, but almost never sells anything.

Unfortunately ‘clever’ marketing people would rather skid about on the irrelevant surface of ‘creative brilliance’ than do the hard work needed to get sales from marketing. I am ashamed to admit that I was one of them.
 

Are you doing everything you can to get the best results from your marketing?

Our free marketing tools and help section has been designed to help you focus your sales and marketing efforts in areas that are likely to generate results. The topics shown in the Marketing Toolbox cover a wide range of marketing subjects and are designed to allow you to get stuck in and started at your own pace.

Working with you has been one of the best investments I have ever made. The biggest challenge it has created is how to handle the number of leads which we were not prepared for. Thank you again, we look forward to working with you again and taking our business to another level. Ralph McBeth | McBeth Plumbing & Gas, Taupo

Holloways have helped us develop a reliable and effective sales approach which we have now been using for several years. After the first year, our sales started to improve rapidly despite the quakes causing havoc around the city. Holloways are now helping us to expand our brand across the country.” Jan & Stu | Compass Pools, Christchurch
