SCORE & the Micro Business Network presents "Local Store Marketing - A Guerrilla Approach" with Maria Rode

If you would like to find out how Local Store Marketing works…how it can help you to grow your business on a limited budget….how it can help you to stand out from your competitors….how to customize the tactics to fit your business and your personality….how it can become one of the most valuable tools for the success of your business.

Maria and her husband Jeff have been franchisees with Papa Murphy’s Pizza for over 20 years.  Their franchisee adventure began in California, where they had 4 stores, and where Maria’s passion with Local Store Marketing began - because it was the tool that helped them to grow one of their franchises from the brink of bankruptcy to becoming the first store in the system to cross the threshold of annual sales of over $1 million. Her love affair with LSM was cemented and they brought it to Central Illinois in 2009, when a partnership was formed with Ray and Kim Fields for 5 stores located in Decatur, Mattoon, Danville, Pekin and Morton. Because of her firsthand experience and success with LSM, Maria was asked to become the Local Store Marketing Director for Papa Murphy’s at the corporate level and has been helping the system of over 600 franchisees for the last 3 years, traveling throughout the country to present LSM Workshops.
