Balan Marketing is currently offering up to 10-hours

of marketing-related consulting to New MTA Members*.

It all begins with Proper Planning.

If anything, history has proven that our Industry is likely to continue evolving. The businesses that survive constant change are those positioned to adapt quickly as it occurs. Marketing folks refer to this as strategic anticipation, and it all begins with proper planning. It involves accurate positioning, targeting and monitoring– those things that are easily overlooked when time and resources are limited. What we’re offering is: 1) an opportunity to review the cost-effectiveness of your existing marketing program, or 2) assistance in establishing a program based on your predetermined budget.

We don’t claim to have all the answers. What we do have however, are years of Industry experience – some of which may prove helpful in addressing your marketing challenges. If you care to discuss your current marketing efforts, or simply need a hand in getting started, we would be pleased to assist. This is a service available to New MTA/NJ Members at No Cost or Obligation.
