DAYS OF THE YEAR
Small businesses have many challenges to be successful. It can be an exciting experience to start a business and do something that you love. The reality comes in getting your message out and bring the paying customers in. Getting marketing advice can be an expensive proposition and every penny counts to a small business. Be Heard Day is the day to make things a little easier!
History of Be Heard Day
The task of getting the message of a small business through all the noise of bigger companies and their marketing machines could be described as herculean. Local and small businesses are sometimes not even noticed by those who live near them because of this. Marketing and Business Strategist Shannon Cherry saw this problem and decided to do something about it. She created Be Heard Day in 2004 and since then has been making a difference to many small business owners.

Her goal for Be Heard Day reportedly is to make it a “give away day”, a day where she and other business and marketing professionals offer their services and knowledge for free. How amazing this that? Being able to get advice from these professionals could mean the difference between complete failure or shinning success for some small businesses!
How to Celebrate Be Heard Day

These questions and more that she offers can lead to greater success!
