Have you asked, with increasing frustration, “But where should I focus my marketing?” Or even more specifically, “Where do I post?! Facebook? TikTok? LinkedIn? Threads?!” There’s no single satisfying answer that works every time for everyone (hence the frustration you may be feeling). But there is a single, satisfying process you can follow to find the right answer for your business. In this workshop we’ll take you through Kelford Inc.’s Marketing Rangefinder process, so you can get that answer. Using our framework we’ll explore the four distances—Far, Close, Here, and Connected—at which all potential customers can be found.
