We are proud to announce that our client The 1917 Ranch Group @ Dearfield won a grant for $50,000.00 from History Colorado in June 2024 for preservation work related to the historic Hicks Family Homestead in Dearfield Colorado.

Writing and preparing their grant application was truly a labor of love and time well spent for us.

The 1917 Ranch Group @ Dearfield is currently in the process of applying for and obtaining their 501(c)(3) tax exemption status from the IRS (which we are leading for them) and then on to the truly big things!

We are proud to be supporting them in all they do.

Marketing is a key component to generating revenue and sales for any business (or nonprofit).

Marketing should be holistic and inclusive, from digital marketing to newsletters to in-store/person (if you have a brick-and-mortar shop or business) and share the same message.

When choosing to do a newsletter, make sure it integrates with your overall marketing strategy so that you:

1. Engage your audience
2. Enhance your credibility
3. Create precision marketing (targeting your ideal customer profile)
4. Create cost efficiencies (newsletters are cheaper than other types of marketing and can be done to broad groups or targeted groups)

The field of newsletter marketing offers a highly cost-efficient channel for achieving high ROI in promotional campaigns, thanks to new AI-powered tools that identify target audiences and track their engagement with ads, enabling the ability to optimize spend.
