A quick-turn splash page project I’ve been working on that last couple of days is for a fast-growing startup based on in Austin, Texas: BunchMonkey.com. I previously completed work for BunchMonkey.com, establishing and streamlining their online presence to collect user information for their daily deals offers. BunchMonkey has parlayed their daily deals website into an affiliate marketing program that is growing leaps and bounds. But don’t let me hold you up, please go view the splash page and read up more on BunchMonkey.com. Read the rest of this entry »
Toombas Jeans & Denim Wear has been a long standing customer of Brownstone Strategies since late 2005/early 2006.

For quite some time, Cat Mountain Villas Homeowners Association has been a retainer client of Brownstone Strategies. Month to month, I manage their website making timely updates to board meeting minutes, newsletters, and community events.

Like a many small businesses and small business owners, you’re a do-it-youselfer type when it comes to keeping your cost low and driving more business. You’ve tried web banners, print ads (newspaper, magazines, billboards), newsletters, pay-per-click, search engine marketing, and all sorts of other paid and non-paid advertising without much success. Nothing works, meaning driving consistent web traffic and conversions, or you’ve had a taste of short-lived traffic or conversions for a day or two, aye? Well, here’s the good and bad news: you’re not by yourself!

And most of the time, a handsome return happens for those same clients at an affordable rate and an unbelievable high rate of speed. So how is this possible?
Marketing your small business should be an intentional system, and not one-off advertising opportunities of hoping clients convert. — Alvin Brown
