Building a Stronger Business...One Block at a Time!

​by Skip Cohen

It's Marketing Monday, and for at least the last ten years, I've shared ideas on things you should be doing to build a stronger business. I've covered just about everything, but there's one more idea I want to hit this morning: the diversity of Marathon Press.

My history working with Marathon goes back 30+ years. Yes, they sponsor SCU, but they didn't ask me to write about them today. As everyone looks for ideas to make 2024 a record-breaker, Marathon has so many ways to help you achieve your goals.

Let's start with their diversity as an industry-supporting vendor, and this is only a part of the support they offer.
​

• Prints and Albums: From Bella Prints, Bella Albums, and Photo Folios, they've grown to be a leader on the printing side. Even better is how affordable they are.
• Printed Support Material: From brochures to business cards to stationary to holiday cardd - they do it all. Incredible support just a click away.
• Direct Mail Printing: Marathon doesn't just print a marketing piece for you; they design an entire campaign with multiple mailings to the target audience. And they've got programs like senior packages and family portrait marketing.
• Marketing Support: If there was a way you could have your own marketing department without the cost and headaches of staffing, wouldn't you want to know about it? Most of you are small business owners - you don't have a Marketing Department, but Marathon does. Working directly with one of their staff expands your capabilities to grow your reach and become a stronger voice in your community.
• Education: Have you checked out the Marathon Blog lately? The content has grown, and posts are being shared every week to help you expand your skill set as a photographer and marketing guru.
• Web Solutions: From websites to blogging to email and even domain registration, Marathon's staff has the expertise to help you build each component of your business.
• Volume Photo Solutions: The dropdown window below says it all. It's the marketing support counterpart to the biggest all-you-can-eat buffet at Mandalay Bay in Vegas! LOL. Nothing is missing!

Here's my point this Marketing Monday - stop thinking you have to fly solo all the time. Most of you are small business owners and you don't have the staff, the time or the budget to create, build and launch exciting marketing programs - but Marathon has an amazing staff and products/services.
