Long Island Marketing Firm Gives Back To Small Business Community

Online, February 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - GOT MARKETING?

Champagne Marketing On a Beer Budget

Long Island's Inspired Marketing Strategies is proud to announce the March Marketing Madness Event for small businesses & start-ups.

For a limited time, select small companies & business owners that meet certain criteria will have access to a deeply discounted program, which features a full suite of professional marketing services to promote their brands & generate business - many of which these small businesses would otherwise not have the budget to fulfill.

"Effective marketing can make or break a business in this economy, and we're in the position to make a difference", says Joyce Skarka, the firm's president. "This is an opportunity for a Mom & Pop shop or someone just starting out, to have a professionally designed website or ad campaign, which could ultimately have a significant impact on business & profitability."

To be eligible for the reduced rate program, business owners will be required to apply on the company's website providing a brief description of their business, what marketing projects they are interested in; such as logo, website & so forth & why their company should be considered for the program. Rates can be discounted up to 70% & will be applied based on need & the business model benefiting the Long Island community.

Asked about how the program originated, Ms. Skarka says, "There are some very talented, hardworking people struggling in this economy and that was really our inspiration behind this idea. Sometimes you just have to say, what can we do to make a difference? And then just do it..."

Applications will be posted on the company's website: www.InspiredMarketingStrategies.com.
