Design & Marketing Consulting for Small and Micro Businesses
Ilana Leah LLC and owner Ilana offer marketing consulting in the form of affordable small business trainings and educational modules, as well as hands-on support for the design and marketing tasks best suited to your small business.
What is design & marketing consulting?
We've been involved in the small and micro business scene for years, and recognize and understand the real challenges facing the smallest businesses. But size isn't everything - your small business is mighty and deserves to be treated as such!
We're not trying to take big business advice and scale it down - we look at the realistic needs of the smallest businesses (often a single owner trying to do it all on their own) and specifically speak to making their actions and choices reflect their small business goals.
By offering small business design and marketing consulting, we help small business owners get laser focused on their needs and goals to strengthen their branding, prioritize their marketing tasks, and teach them how to make efficient and effective strategic decisions for their businesses.
Work smarter, not harder
Owning and operating a small business involves so many tasks, it's hard for anyone to keep up. The good news is, you don't have to do it all yourself. Despite the social media pressure to be always present or the advice to just keep hustling, there is a better way.
Design and marketing consulting offers an affordable way to get educated on the game changers and deal breakers for your small business.
Partnering with someone in the know saves you time searching for answers and saves you money you may spend trying to be everywhere at once, even if these tasks don't align with your goals - that's why our small business marketing trainings focus on making the right choices for your specific needs!
Once you're clear on what you need and what you can ignore, it all gets easier. And if you decide you need a hand after all, we're here to help.
