Marketing Advice for Start-ups

14 August 2012

A friend makes the best cupcakes in the world. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating…but I’ve certainly sampled my share of these golden and delicious pillows of goodness and consider myself of discerning taste. Hers are incredible cupcakes. And they’re just as beautiful as they are delicious. So, chatting with her a few days ago, I was surprised to learn that she’s struggling to sell her covetable cakes.

This conversation with my friend made me again realise a lesson I’ve learned over and over again (though sometimes, even I, choose to ignore). Start-ups must be brave in asking for help when they need it.

Weekly, at FindGood, we receive very timid requests from start-ups who find it hard to believe that we’re willing to offer expert marketing agency selection advice, for free. And even when their needs are below our spend threshold for a formal marketing agency selection process, we’ll still provide them with a few contacts and review their draft brief as a sense check. It’s true.

FindGood provide free marketing advice and expert agency selection counsel for start-ups. So, whether you’re launching the next Pinterest, or looking to sell a few cupcakes, get in touch. Don’t be afraid to ask for a bit of help from friends.
