Marketing experts for Rural and Regional Businesses in Victoria

Marketing, PR and Social Media help for Rural & Regional Businesses

Business can be tough. Small business in rural and regional areas can be completely overwhelming.

Higher costs because transport costs are high; lack of skilled staff as they move to the cities with the benefits cities can bring; poor and expensive connectivity, greater seasonal  work and if you are a community who relies on tourism – bushfires and floods can destroy a whole season’s takings.

But we stay because of the benefits. They can include a loyal community following, beautiful environment, knowing your customers and their needs, perhaps a slower pace of life.

I live in a rural area because I love the environment, I have a small number of stock, I ride through the hills. And I understand some of the challenges small businesses face.

My experience of running a business in a rural area; consulting to other rural businesses and my passion for helping rural communities thrive has resulted in helping rural and regional businesses to create practical marketing communication strategies that align with their goals and are sensitive to the issues that rural businesses face in 2017 such as slow Internet, ageing populations, online shopping, good access to social media and much more.

If you are a rural or regional business, it makes sense to work with a marketing expert who lives and works in the rural community and really understands your community, your audience and the challenges you face as a rural business.
