Building relationships online is an investment.
Like offline relationships,
building online relationships requires
time, attention, and genuine interest.

#AhaTribe
The results of your investments?
It’s a numbers game, plain and simple.
Bigger (quality) audience =
bigger (quality) customer base.

#AhaTribe
Also, bigger audience = authority,
which is more attractive to Google.

#AhaTribe
And, authority = attention,
which starts the virtuous cycle
all over again!

#AhaTribe
Relationship marketing is the foundation.
You build on it with content marketing –
getting your message OUT THERE
in new and creative ways,
using the channels where your
Ideal Audiences spend their time!

have your
“why”…
