Marketing is like food to small business owners!

Marketing is like food to all business owners without it they don’t survive. Throughout the last decade businesses have come and gone. But I ask myself why do some stick around more than others? Is it luck? Some may say its luck and they might be right. But all LUCK? I highly doubt that especially for businesses that survive for such a long period of time. For a business to survive one needs to know how to market themselves whether it is traditional, gorilla or Social Media Marketing. In order to get your name out their business owners need to market themselves to acquire new customers; or to keep their current customers up to date.  You need to create compelling content to grasp the attention of your audience.  Small business owners need to take advantage of online social media marketing.  Why? Because it’s a free platform to promote your product or services.

So go eat. Market Your Business and make yourself relevant in the world we live in today.

Find local deals and discounts!

There are many daily deal sites and mobile apps available for consumers; but what separates ImWithBob from the rest is that consumers do not purchase the deals.

Consumers, simply find a restaurant, bar, salon or a local shop that is offering a daily deal. Once they find an offer they instantly lock in a deal without having to purchase it with a credit card. This process is much more convenient for the users and appealing to merchants. Why? Because merchants now offer a higher discount since we do not take a cut from the merchants. ImWithBob does this because we want our merchants to offer the best daily deal. We actually want customers to save money and our merchants to be satisfied knowing they offered the best daily deal.

ImWithBob is a startup that recently launched its beta version testing their app with merchants in Santa Monica. So far we have local merchants such as restaurants, salons, fitness classes and clothing shops providing deals. The ImWithBob mobile app is absolutely free to download on the iTunes app store.
