Tips for small businesses from LinkedIn trainer Jennifer Corcoran.



&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve worked in marketing for over 15 years and I love it! No two days are the same and it&amp;rsquo;s this variety that makes marketing so special for me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last company I worked for, Constant Contact, gave me the opportunity to work with 100s of small businesses across the UK. It was the best three years I&amp;rsquo;ve had in a job! The business owners I met were (and still are) incredible. And there&amp;rsquo;s a brilliant community for small businesses. You could say I was bitten by the small business bug.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2016, I was made redundant. I knew I still wanted to work with small businesses, so when my husband said I should start my own business, I didn&amp;rsquo;t need a huge amount of convincing. After all, I loved sharing marketing tips with small business owners, and this way, I could do it all the time. How could I not love that?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, if you struggle with getting your marketing done, I&amp;rsquo;d love to hear from you. You didn&amp;rsquo;t start your business to become a marketing expert. You do what you do because you love it. I want to help you figure out the marketing stuff so that you can make money! It&amp;rsquo;s as simple as that. When you succeed, so do I. Plus, I get a warm glow knowing I helped you. Get in touch and tell me your marketing struggles. I want to help demystify marketing for you so you can get on with the business of running your business!&lt;/p&gt;

Marketing for small businesses

Whether your small business has existed for years, or just recently started up, finding the most effective marketing strategies is critical. Join this group to connect with like-minded small business owners and advisers to share and discuss marketing strategies and resources.

&lt;p&gt;I started my career in journalism and was lucky that the content marketing revolution meant my particular skills - storytelling, audience engagement, creative idea generation&amp;nbsp;and so on - were soon in demand in the business world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From drawing out the heart of a brand&amp;#39;s message to creating powerful headlines and calls to action that drive... well, action... I help businesses stand back and ask the question, &amp;quot;So what?&amp;quot; It&amp;#39;s what separates indulgent copy from copy that hits the mark with target customers / clients and actually achieves a business goal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Quality and precision are central to everything I do and&amp;nbsp;I have brought together a team of skilled professionals who have the same&amp;nbsp;level of commitment to doing their jobs to the best of their ability every day.&lt;/p&gt;
