You’re a Genius.
You Know it and I Know it.

Isn’t it About Time That the Rest of
Vancouver Knew About Your Expertise?

You’re a local business owner and I’m sure you know your business as well as anyone.  I’m also sure that you realize the value of being perceived as the expert in your field.  Obviously, the more people that recognize you as an expert the more likely they are to seek you out and pay more for your products or services.

Our Marketing in Vancouver book will provide local business owners with a number of outstanding ideas for growing their businesses. It is NOT a directory but a “how-to” guide that will cover everything from online marketing and video promotion strategies to outdoor advertising and direct mail tactics. View the current Table of Contents (opens in new window) but bear in mind that this will be expanded as more experts are added.

The ideas and strategies in this book will appeal to any small business owner and since it will be given away for free the circulation of the book will be impressive.

You’re The Expert

What I’m hoping to do on this page is attract a number of true experts in various areas of marketing and gain your permission to conduct a short phone (or even email) interview with you. In less than ten minutes you’ll be able to share one or two key ideas about making your type of advertising or marketing solutions work for our readers.

Armed with your insights, I will add your information to the relevant section of my book, citing yourself or your business as the source of the knowledge.  Of course, this implies that should the reader wish to implement your ideas they would be best off calling you first.

Not Just for Marketing-Related Services

Set Yourself Apart from Your Competition

Obviously, this could be an excellent opportunity for suppliers of local marketing-related services.  You’ll be referred to as the go-to person in Vancouver for whatever services you’re offering, you’ll have branded copies of the book to give away to customers (or prospective customers) to build relationships and finally, you may be the only business among your competitors referenced in our book.

However, if your business doesn’t offer marketing-related services but does offer products or services to local businesses, there still may be an opportunity here for you.  Your company can be written into the content of the book, promoted in our Resources section and of course, you’ll be able to acquire co-branded copies of the book to do with as you please.

I’m sure that every one of your customers is open to looking at different ways of increasing sales.  When you provide them with this resource it carries with it your brand and a sense of appreciation.  Your customers will remember the gesture.

Partnerships will be granted on a first-in basis, contingent upon your business having proven expertise in your field.

Call Eric at 604-800-1796 for more information. I usually make myself available everyday between 10am – 1pm and I will answer my phone (if I’m not on it). If you do get my voicemail please leave a message and I promise to get back to you ASAP.  Thanks.

About the Book

The book will be approximately 100 pages, 5.5″x8.5″ in size and will have a full-colour perfect-bound cover.  View the Table of Contents here. Should you decide to become a partner your company name and short message will be prominently displayed at the top of the back cover.  You can now see the full cover design by clicking here (opens in new window).

This will not be a directory but rather a guide to do-it-yourself marketing for Vancouver small business owners. It will be written by Eric Haaranen who is also the author of Nice People Can Sell which is currently available on Amazon.com.  Click here to see.

The nice thing about getting mentioned in a book is that people rarely throw away books.  They either keep them forever or pass them over to friends.  That means your message will be around for a long time.  Without writing an entire book yourself, this is the next best way to leverage the power of books to gain exposure and build your credibility.

Give Eric a call to see if this might be a good fit for your business.  604-800-1796. Alternatively, if you would like us to simply send a PDF document of our partnership options, contact us and we’ll be happy to do so.
