Since 2002, we have been providing marketing departments to companies who just don't have the time to handle it themselves. We have assisted over 200 busy managers and entrepreneurs with marketing support tasks such as News Releases, Copywriting, Marketing Research, Customer Suveys, and Brochure Development & Design. Why Green In late 2007, we opened a small office in Pomona, California. Our employees frequently took advantage of the "work wherever you wish as long as you get it done" policy that we enforced. As gas prices rose, we found that we were using the office less and less - utilizing our home offices instead. Weeks went by and projects were getting done, the staff was communicating with each other via phone, text messages, IM's and e-mail. But, still no one was in the office. The printers were rarely used, lights never on and our overhead expenses were decreased by about 60%. Then, in 2008, "green" clients came knocking at our door, wanting to outsource their marketing department to Soulstice. So, a smaller, satellite office was established. Just big enough for us to have a meeting place, but small enough to reduce our carbon footprint. We felt like we were doing our part to reduce carbon emissions and waste. All the while, we were finding that many "green" organizations had a need for outsourced marketing support, but just did not know where to go for help. We also figured out that these clients didn't care about how the work was done, just as long as it got done, on time and within budget. Because we were becoming an eco-friendly company ourselves, we thought it was good business practice to do business with those who share those values. It was then we decided that we would work with Green clients, exclusively. Our Approach Soulstice Marketing has a virtual office, with everyone having the freedom to work from wherever they wish. We don't believe in long drawn out meetings, endless phone calls, and wasteful "office chatter". We believe in work/life balance and team building. Because of this, we are far more efficient than most marketing departments, i.e., work that a normal 40 hour a week employee can do, we get it done in about 15-20. Our approach is - get it done. And, we have a system in place to do just that. Our Team Our team is comprised of marketing consultants and assistants, graphic artists and designers, copywriters, technology and research experts, image consultants, and other marketing-related resource personnel. However, our clients enjoy the fact that they always have a dedicated Soulstice Marketing account manager as their primary contact. Our Plans & Rates We believe that in order to make your job (and your budgeting process) easier, you should be able to shop around and know exactly what you are getting for what cost. This is why we have decided to post our pricing right on our website, and empower you with making decision. This also cuts down on meeting times--yes, we love meeting our potential and current clients face to face and always do, for the intial consultation. But, we realize that the more we meet, the less time it gives us to get your project finished. This is why we try to keep our meetings down to 1 hour or less. Rest be assured that you are working with the most efficient marketing team in the business and our main goal is understanding the project, and your business so that we can get the work done. Our Experience Prachel Carter founded Soulstice Marketing as a consulting firm to show small business owners how to promote their own businesses. After graduating from Bradley Unversity with a degree in Marketing, Carter wrote and published the marketing plan workbook, “The 60-Day Marketing Makeover: Transform Your Business To Attract More Clients and Keep the Ones You Have Coming Back for More”. The book was very successful and was used as a handout to keep the clients on a plan, after their project was complete. After completing marketing projects for Deloitte & Touche, Coca Cola, Momentum IMC (a division of McCann Erickson), Jazz Fest West (formerly the Old Pasadena Jazz Festival) Opera Illinois, the American Cancer Society and USAID, she decided to branch out, hire a small staff to serve even more clients.
