Mint Marketing Works

There are many benefits to hiring specialists outside your organization to help with your marketing efforts:

• an objective approach
• expert advice and world-class capabilities
• help to close the gap between the vision and the results
• achieve revenue goals
• save costs
• meet schedules not possible with internal staff
• scale up a project without increasing the number of permanent staff
• improve efficiency or free up your existing employees to better focus on your core business.

Because we love what we do and we are good at it. We are a small team of talented and dedicated marketing professionals. We have a broad range of expertise with decades of combined experience. We have a passion for marketing and for helping our clients succeed. See the “How are we different” for more information.

It’s different for every company but here are some reasons why you may want Mint Marketing Works for some or all of your company’s marketing:

• you need strategic direction
• you need someone to manage larger projects and the big picture
• don’t have a need or budget for full time employees
• you need a broad range of skills/services that can support an existing small internal marketing group or that can operate where there is no marketing at all
• you need a regional delivery of a worldwide or national marketing plan
• you are dissatisfied with their current provider and need / are looking to replace them
• looking for a marketing partner, long term relationship
• businesses who want personalized, customized service, not looking to be churned through a process.

Yes. Some people believe that they need to pay exorbitant rates to get expert help. While we value the work we do and believe that marketing is worth the investment, we believe that outsourcing can be a cost-effective option and we work with clients to fit their budgets. Before Mint Marketing Works, we had senior marketing roles within organizations and benefited from outsourcing as part of our overall marketing strategy. Here are only a few of the many reasons:

• save hours and money not having to hire and train new staff
• save paying out company benefits and down time
•  get a broad range of skills from a variety of experts for less than the cost of one full-time employee
• projects can take less time and money because seasoned marketing professionals have established best practices and processes to get the work done

It’s pretty simple.  First we meet with you to understand your business your goals, your needs and your gaps. We put together a proposal, including pricing, to move you to where you want to go and, when approved, we get to work. You decide how involved you want to be and if there is internal staff or external suppliers you want us to work with. Alternatively we can take over the entire project, giving you regular status updates and seeking approval when needed.

We communicate well over email, on the phone and in person when needed. We have a variety of online tools to help us manage projects, share files, track progress and share updates to keep you informed at all times.

We quote on a project basis, taking into account your budget, timeline and needs. We allocate the best fit resources to meet your budget and expected outcomes. We won’t be the cheapest but we will deliver results.

We don’t believe in forced contracts, we believe in mutually beneficial relationships. If you are not satisfied with Mint, we will refund any unused portion of your project investment upon 30 days notice.

Before we begin any project, we work with you to determine your needs, your goals and the value of your desired outcomes. This gives us a clear focus, guiding everything and anything we do back to your goals. We use these defined success factors to measure against at any stage in the project and the ability to assess how we are doing relative to your desired outcome.

We have worked with start-up companies, multi national organizations and those in between; we have worked with government and non profit groups; in business-to-business and business- to-consumer markets; in high tech, retail, e-commerce, finance, security, manufacturing and other industries. We work with technology innovators and service leaders. The common link is that the organizations we work with have a strong product or service offering and understand the value of good marketing. Our goal is to help you thrive in your marketplace.

You bet.  We have a variety of Mint Tasters from social media, to PPC, SEO and online analytics. We also offer brand, marketing and web audits to take a temperature check of where you are and how are you are performing. Contact us for more details.

We would love to say right away and most times we can. However, there are times when our calendar books up and we have to schedule new projects. Our goal is to work to your timelines whenever possible. Contact us to ask about our current availability.
