COVID-19 Business Update

To our valued clients and business partners,

I wanted to take this opportunity to give you an update on how our firm is navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. While our nation and the world are pushing the boundaries of our human spirit, I want you to know that the team at CIM Marketing Partners is here for you.

As you may or may not have heard, Nevada’s Governor has issued a mandate that all non-essential businesses and gaming must close for 30 days, beginning today. CIM Marketing Partners falls in the professional services category, so we will remain open by way of remotely working. We are dedicated to keeping your digital services running (websites, social media, email campaigns, etc.), as well as traditional marketing projects and initiatives.

As a business owner, over the past three years, I have invested significantly in my infrastructure to allow for remote working by my team. Various team members routinely rotate through working at home every week, so we are accustomed to using technology to accomplish work projects and coordinate with other team members seamlessly. Simply put, my team is well prepared and trained to be able to perform their job duties without being physically present in my office. We are available via phone, email, video conferencing – you name it – we can communicate with each other and you.

In this time of “isolation,” I want you to know that you can contact me or anyone on my team. We will be there for you, even if it is just to say “hello.” We care deeply for each and every one of you and want you to know that we will get through this together. Each of us must first be focused on staying safe and well. At the same time, if we can assist you in any way, such as helping you communicate with your team or your clients (or even just to talk), please reach out to us.

Time heals all wounds. We will be a stronger nation on the other side of this. Stay safe and well.

Anyone Can Do Marketing

Say, what? “Anyone can do marketing.” Yes, it’s true. Anyone can do marketing. The problem is, being able to “do it” doesn’t equate to being able to do it well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met with a prospective client and had an exchange like this: “Historically, what have you done from a marketing/public relations perspective?” “Well, we’ve tried a little of X, and last year we did Y.” “So, last year, for
