“Following several disappointing experiences with a variety of marketing/copywriting consultants I’d tried, I quickly discovered that as a young entrepreneur, one of the most important factors in my business’ ability to thrive was having the right consultant by my side. Soon after working with Stacy, I’d realized I had, at long last, found a professional that was a perfect fit. She is not only dedicated, extremely knowledgeable, fast and thorough but her marketing and copy writing acumen is the best I’ve ever seen.

I hope I am blessed to work with Stacy for a very long time. I consider her one of my company’s strongest allies...I quite think she’s an ‘Entrepreneur’s Dream’ ”. Suzie Goldsher - Founder and CEO, Best Life Services, Inc.

“Stacy is great to bounce concepts and ideas off of, and then she translates them into tangible results—meaning sales.” Bianca Hein – CEO, ExtraPR.com

“Stacy, we are thrilled! The sales letters you wrote pulled so well we had to quit sending them out and focus on refining systems to handle all the new work.” Tony Parks - Evergreen Print Group

“Thanks so much for the terrific sales letter for our XoftSpy software. As you know, we’ve had a number of writers create letters for us which we have been split-testing on our Website. I just thought you’d like to know that yours is pulling the best! We’re ready for you to start on another project as soon as you have the time.” Don Wharton - Paretologic

"Thanks for all your hard work Stacy. I think you did a great job capturing the essence of what I do for my clients--which is hard to do in my line of work. You have such a great knack for explaining complicated information in a way that is succinct, concrete and easy for anyone to understand. It really made me want to read more." Linda Craig – Linda’s Center

“Stacy is wonderful to work with; she is creative, responsive and listens carefully in order to provide you with what YOU want. My marketing material is more effective with the polish of a professional. I recommend Stacy to anyone who wants to add the “professional” touch to their writing.” Tresa Leftenant, CFP - Regional VP, The Householder Group

“Your knack for finding a way to sell a product, and your ability to organize large amounts of material, are so helpful. I’ll always call you when I need consulting, and killer copy, from someone who really understands the products, the market and the industry.” Mike Glavin - VP of Marketing, Mountainsmith

“At one point in my marketing adventures I realized that I was writing like I think. A trusted friend pointed out that this was not a particularly accessible way to communicate. What?! I cried, am I not articulate?
Yes, she said, that's part of your problem. Go get a good editor, and quit using so many exclamation points!!

Luckily for me I was just getting involved in Best Life Services, and Stacy was in the room. I checked out her web site and liked the simplicity and clarity. We met and began a conversation in which I felt respected and understood. Stacy helped me understand how to cut through my own mental and verbal excesses and present information in way that my prospective clients would also see as clear and simple.

With her guidance ringing in my ears I have managed to publish several articles, and feel that I can now write in a way that others will hear.” Rebecca Ross – The Composed Domain


“Thanks for all your hard work Stacy. I never realized I didn’t need to be a better writer; I just needed a terrific editor. Have you help me hone in on the right words has given me the ability to walk, and talk, my business.” Bettina Carey – Founder, Women In Small Biz

“Your help was great. I was really stuck in how to get it where I wanted and your advice really did that for me. Thanks.” Sally Harman M.A., LMHC

“I really like your work. I have such a difficult time finding my writing voice, and you have helped tremendously. You are great, and I will use you again and recommend you to others.” Shannon Eberhart, MA - Certified Leadership Performance Coach & Personal Change Coach

 

 

Are You Making Costly Mistakes with Your Marketing or Copywriting?

Do your marketing materials grab your ideal customer's attention in a vice-like grip?

Do they explain, clear as day, why someone absolutely must do business with you—not the guy down the street?

Do they make your business stand out from the crowd?

Find out the answers to these and other critical business success questions with a custom critique of your marketing or copywriting.

Website Critique

If you want to test the waters of working with me, or are on a very tight budget, these services are for you!

Sometimes all you need is an objective, expert opinion and a little bit of guidance to make response rates go from a trickle to a flood. My critiques help you add oomph to your ad, flier, brochure or Web page. Or turn up the selling power of your business card or one-sheet.

Let me give you an example…I recently worked with a client whose yellow pages ad was generating about two new clients a year. I took a look, dissected it and made a few suggestions about the layout and additional content.

The result? Seven new clients from the ad in the first six months alone! And he only needed one new client to more than pay for my services.

Another client implemented just one of my suggestions on their e-commerce Website. They immediately saw a 20% increase in click-thrus on their featured product.

Bottom line? You get specific suggestions and action steps to take your marketing to the next level—for less than half the cost of hiring me as a consultant or copywriter. And there’s really no risk to you.

Because I confidently guarantee my critiquing services 110%. If you implement my suggestions and don’t see positive results within 6 months, I will refund your money plus an additional 10% for your time and trouble!!

"ONE idea properly implemented and executed ... is ALL you need to
take your business to the next level"

Website Critique

Is your Website working as well as it could to grow your business?

What does your Website really need to say to drive leads or make sales?

Are you at risk of people clicking away without taking action?

Your Website is one of your most powerful marketing tools. It can attract new customers, make sales, help you stay in contact with prospects and much more. In fact, the best Websites are like virtual salespeople. Only they don’t take a commission (love that!).

But only if it’s built right. Because any Website that doesn’t help you grow your business is just a waste of money.

And there’s far more to developing an effective Web presence than just putting up an attractive design and some descriptive words.

You have to consider the needs of your customers, the needs of the search engines, and the results you want to create the right formula for Internet success. That means looking at everything from content to keywords, navigation, usability and layout.

With my Web critique, you can find out exactly what you need to do to make your Website work for you.

Your detailed Website critique includes suggestions for improving:

    • Overall Impression
    • Copywriting
    • Messaging
    • Branding
    • Design
    • Layout
    • Navigation
    • Usability
    • Search Engine Optimization
    • Sales

    Basic five-page sites start at $399*

One-page sales letter style sites start at $299*

*Because all sites are different, it’s hard for me to give you an exact price for this service.
