How To Get Your Small Business 
Super Visible Online
Without Wasting Time & Money Trying (And Failing) To Do It Yourself 
(or begging your cousin who “does web design” to help you out)
Magazine and newspaper ads just aren’t what they used to be.
And they haven’t been for a while. 

Marketing a business used to be so simple... 

You’d write a short (but sweet) newspaper ad, publish it in the local paper, and that door would be swinging back and forth as customers piled in. 

Today, Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok have completely transformed the marketing landscape…
 and no one gave you a map to help you navigate this new territory.

It’s no surprise that small local businesses and beloved mom-n-pop shops are struggling to stand out in an endless sea of new, trendy online enterprises...


Raise your hand if you relate...

Right now, business is far from booming. 
You may have a loyal customer base, but you’re still struggling to get a steady stream of income.
Business hasn’t grown in a long time.
And it’s not just because of the pandemic—this was happening before COVID hit. 
It’s also not because your product or service isn’t good. 

Quite the opposite—the folks in your town would agree you’re one of the BEST at what you do! But new customers don’t know that. 

So how do they ever end up in your store?

Either they drive past your shop and decide to stop in by chance (probably because they’re looking for a bathroom).

Or they hear about you from a loyal customer who can’t stop singing your praises. 

So when these new customers visit you for the first time, it’s not uncommon to hear them say... “I wish I had known about this place earlier. I would’ve been here every single day!”

On the surface, this seems like a nice compliment.

But take a closer look and you’ll realize that it’s cold, hard evidence of a MISSED MARKETING OPPORTUNITY...
You’ve tried reaching out to younger customers.
You’ve sponsored local youth organizations when they’ve asked for support. 

You’ve dropped off flyers and business cards at the local “hip” cafes where everyone tap tap taps away at their laptop and sip on foamy lattes. 

And you’ve even created Facebook and Instagram profiles, posting daily only to get a few likes on each post (and most are from your friends who are just trying to be supportive.)

Honestly, it’s hard to tell if you’re doing this right…

Or if any of this effort will result in more customers down the road.

The truth of the matter is, your business is in survival mode.
Which means its fate is hanging in the balance like a tower of cards, precariously stacked upon each other.

Now imagine if a newer, trendier competitor decided to build their shop right next door to yours. 

 Will your tower stand tall, or will that be enough to send the cards tumbling down for good?

Listen, if you feel confident that your business would be able to thrive in a situation like this, then of course feel free to leave this page. No hard feelings!
But if you’re part of the 99% of small business owners who lose sleep at night wondering how they’d survive if they found themselves in the scenario above, then you’ve come to the right place... 
I know exactly how you feel.
As an entrepreneur myself, I understand how small businesses contribute to our economy and our culture.
Most of us have special memories of taking our families to local candy shops, watching kids run down the aisles of toy stores, or getting a free cookie from the woman that worked at the local bakery.

It’s these kinds of businesses that keep our communities vibrant, alive, and friendly. And they also help community members make a living wage, support families putting their kids through college, and give every town its own unique flair.
That’s why these small businesses are so important. 
To me, there’s only one thing worse than watching a family-owned business go under after many successful years... 
And it’s knowing that had they marketed themselves correctly, they never would have been beaten out just because a trendy new competitor decided to move in.
To THRIVE in this new Insta-fueled economy, here's what you need...
Visibility.
Your business must be EASY TO FIND.
That means when someone Googles “Best (insert: restaurant/ boutique/ art gallery, etc) near me”, your business comes up first, complete with raving reviews and 5-star ratings.

So when a big name competitor decides to set up shop next door, everyone knows that your business is (and always has been!) the best on the block.
At Vela Creative Co,
We’ll get you in front of the right people. 
We shine the biggest spotlight onto your small business so it stands out in the crowded online space.

At Vela Creative Co, we shine the biggest spotlight onto your small business so it stands out in the crowded online space.

Here’s what that looks like...
We sit down and get to know each other first (maybe over a cup of virtual, locally-brewed coffee) and together we listen to your story, learn about your business, and discover what makes it so unique.

01. From there, we do a deep dive—starting with your website.

So when a big name competitor decides to set up shop next door, everyone knows that your business is (and always has been!) the best on the block.
02. Next, we move onto branding—and ask all the important questions.
Does it encompass the very essence and style of your business? Does it look different than everything else out there? How does your brand make people feel? And how do you want it to make people feel?

03. And finally, we take a look at your past.
We’ll break down past your previous marketing strategies, highlight successes, look deeper into the struggles, and make suggestions for your next campaign.

You’ll walk away with an audit that tells you how to create the ultimate marketing piece—a scroll-stopping, beautiful brand and website that’s easy to navigate, easy to find, and easily makes people say, “Wow! Where can I find this place?”

We know small businesses, because we are one, too! 
Whoever said “It takes one to know one” had a darn good point.
And we know that small businesses are all so different, so we don’t just take on any client with a checkbook.

Unlike larger marketing firms, we talk with our potential clients beforehand.
We want to make sure that we’re both a perfect match for each other.
And more importantly, we want to be sure we can really help them get big results!
Because when we work together, we’re in it for the long haul.

And we know just how to get results. 
And we know just how to get results. 
Unlike the many DIY website builders (and family members) out there, we’ve been doing this for YEARS.
And frankly, we know what works, and what doesn’t.
The truth is, marketing your business properly the first time can mean the difference between staying open and going under.

And even during tough times like now, a website can be a total game-changer. Even if your brick-and-mortar doors close, business can keep running with online orders and customer engagement which is made easier with a beautiful, functioning website.

The point is, your business is too valuable to lose.
So don’t waste time trying to DIY, and don’t waste money going with the cheap solution. It will just cost you more further down the line.

Get it right the first time with Vela Creative Co.
