Starting at just $2100

This video introduces the benefits of attending Locable's Marketing 3-4-5™ workshop.

Effective marketing gives small business owners a choice

The choice to raise prices, the choice of the sorts of customers to work with, the choice of employees, and even the choice of what their business becomes.

Locable’s workshop incorporates our Marketing 3-4-5™ Framework and simple guidance with proven real-world examples to make you and your merchants more effective marketers.

Attendees build their own marketing and content plan as we guide them through the Marketing 3-4-5™ approach during our 2-hour workshop. It is focused on their goals including using marketing to:

  • attract ideal customers
  • improve hiring & retention - too few businesses know that marketing can help with hiring
  • and to positively impact the community

We focus on simplifying the process of creating and distributing content through our prompt-based approach so anyone can create content in under 15-minutes without any creativity or any particular writing skills.

The distribution conversation shows people how their content efficiently flows from their website to social media, email marketing, local sites through cross-promotion, and helps them rank higher on Google through a simple repeatable process rather than multiple disconnected activities. 



"The workshop was above and beyond what I expected! I learned so much and Brian’s teaching style is relaxed and easy to follow. Really liked the workbook as well." Mary Helmer, State Coordinator at Main Street Alabama

The Marketing 3-4-5™ Workshop provides a structured approach for every local business and nonprofit

At each Marketing 3-4-5™ Workshop, we'll guide attendees through creating their own marketing and content plan for their business or nonprofit following our proven plain-English approach.

Marketing 3-4-5™ is designed to make you effective and efficient by using local marketing and SEO secrets to work smarter not harder. This, then, enables you to benefit from Content Marketing without having to be creative or a particularly good writer. Reach more of the right people with less time and expense.

At the end of the day, we simplify marketing for small businesses and address their common questions including:

  • "I don't want to have to figure it out on my own"
  • "I don't know where to start"
  • "I don't want to waste time or money"

Most things that can change your life require a significant commitment to change your behavior. Marketing 3-4-5™ isn't one of them. 

The 2-hour Marketing 3-4-5™ workshop helps attendees:

  • Understand the purpose of marketing (attracting customers, growing and maintaining your team and impacting your community)
  • Clearly communicating what makes you unique and why people should work with you vs others
  • How people find you and how to reach them on multiple different channels with one primary activity
  • Take inventory of your unique benefits & capabilities to quickly create content in the future
  • Create compelling content by Highlighting a Creation, Demonstrating Professional Service Successes, and various forms of Employee Recognition Content
  • Learn the role and use of Power Words aka high emotion words - Imagine using quick, proven and convenient techniques guaranteed to make you more efficient!
  • Avoid op mistakes in local marketing 
  • Grow customer reviews and referrals systematically
  • Structure a website for 3 types of visitors, rank on Google and get more out of Social Media
  • and, Tap Into the Power of Your Local Connections™ to reach more people and support your community - Automatically!

Again, this program will NOT turn you into a marketing expert, ninja or superstar

It will make YOU effective and efficient by using local marketing & SEO secrets everyone should know, by working smarter not harder...
