How Phaser Marketing Started: "I started noticing a recurring problem in small businesses around the U.S. Many of them had a good business, but they were wasting their time trying to figure out and implement marketing themselves. Also, being a small business, they couldn't afford to hire a full marketing team in-house. That's why I started Phaser Marketing. We are a COMPLETE marketing team designed to partner with small businesses. We take that stress off their plate and give them more time to do what they are best at. We have an all-in-one marketing team that covers Social Media, Graphic Design, Web design, SEO, Marketing Strategy, Analytics, Ads, and much more. Our number 1 goal is to keep it as simple for the business owner as possible. We are always looking to partner up with new businesses to give them an affordable alternative to take their business to the next level. - Luke Eggebraaten
