Marketing help for small business

Strategic marketing supportfor small businesses and SMEs.

Most small businesses don't need more marketing activity. They need someone senior to decide what matters, put a structure around it, and make sure it actually delivers. That's what Maison Thrivé does.

Your marketing is active. What’s missing is the strategic layer.

  • Someone is managing day-to-day marketing, but they do not have the time or headspace to step back and lead the strategy.
  • Marketing activity is disconnected: ads, social, website, email and suppliers may all be active, but they are not joined to one commercial objective.
  • You are the owner and marketing keeps landing back on your desk.
  • You have hired agencies before without seeing meaningful commercial results.
  • You are spending on ads or social without knowing what is working or what to do next.
  • You want strategic leadership, not another supplier trying to sell you a tactic.
  • You are ready to grow, but not ready to hire a full-time Marketing Director or marketing team.
The strategic order

Marketing works when the decisions are made in the right order.

Most small business marketing problems are sequence problems, not skill problems. These are the seven decisions we work through, in this order, before anything is published or paid for.

  1. 01

    Commercial objective

    One measurable outcome the business needs in the next twelve months, with a date attached.

  2. 02

    The right customer

    Who specifically has to act for that outcome to happen, and which enquiries are worth your time.

  3. 03

    Positioning and message

    What you want that customer to believe about you, and why it's credible coming from you.

  4. 04

    Structure and ownership

    Who owns each activity, where customer data lives, and how enquiries are handled end to end.

  5. 05

    Website and customer journey

    The route from first contact to enquiry, built so nothing depends on memory or good luck.

  6. 06

    The right activity, chosen last

    The smallest set of activities capable of delivering the objective, run properly and given time.

  7. 07

    Measurement and review

    A short list of numbers that would actually change a decision, reviewed on a fixed rhythm.

This sequence is the practical expression of the PRISM Method.
