Who is Idea Queen Marketing?
If you haven’t met her already, meet Nicole Schroeder.
Iowa native. Community champion. Dog mom. Wife to a gamer nerd. Proud daughter of a musician and retired court reporter. Social (media) butterfly. Marketing professional.
That last one is probably why you’re visiting this website.
Since 2009, Nicole has focused her creative talents on helping small businesses in her social circle grow. Over the years, her social circle has grown as well as her experience in growing small businesses across the United States. Her first website build was when she was 12 and she designed a website for her dad’s band…for fun. What middle schooler does that?!
From her first part-time job creating marketing campaigns for a local hair salon to her most recent full-time position as Marketing Director for Wired Production Group in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nicole has been obsessed with all things digital marketing. If there is a way to grow your business, Nicole knows.
She is dedicated to helping small businesses and non-profits. While there is opportunity to help larger brands continue to expand in their respective B2C or B2B markets, Idea Queen Marketing was created to help businesses and non-profit organizations find customers, attract the sale or support they need, and retain their customers long-term. Idea Queen Marketing helps research and identify a brand strategy that works for every organization, then execute a marketing plan to support that brand.
I love all things organic. SEO is my jam. I’m obsessed with helping businesses and organizations of all sizes find their brand voice. I enjoy storytelling for both B2C and B2B organizations. I absolutely love grant writing. Creating marketing strategies for community projects, like fundraising and other donor events, is super fun to me. I want to be a part of anything fun. I like fun!
Connect with Nicole. She’s not shy.
When Do I Need Help Marketing?
The answer: right now.
When many small businesses and nonprofit organizations start their operations, there is no marketing plan.
The entreprenuerial life is a stressful one. You’re spending hours, days, and weeks working on a project simply because you may not have the time, people, or knowledge to get what needs to be done accomplished – like your marketing efforts.
You’re dreaming of the day that you have a trusted resource that can step in and guide your marketing efforts in a direction that will grow your business at a pace that you’re comfortable with. You’re bringing in ideal clients and supporters that trust you and want to do business with you long-term. You imagine the day where you’re so busy that you have to either turn away customers or add to your team. Guess what? It’s completely possible right now!
That’s where Idea Queen Marketing can help.
Why Do I Need to Market My Business?
If your customers aren’t aware of your products or services, then why are you doing business?!
The true purpose of marketing is to grow your business and reach your highest potential as you serve your customers by promoting your brand, products, and services. All businesses have something to offer. But what if no one knows about it? What good is that?
Marketing focuses on growing your customer base. Marketing is about building brand awareness and trust. Marketing helps sales because sales is all about turning that awareness into profit. If you want to run a profitable business, you need marketing.
I Don’t Have a Marketing Budget. Where Do I Start?
