Listen…if you’re menu items need to be depicted by AI to look good you may want to talk to the people putting it together…

I PROMISE YOU….the worst plate you put together will look 100 times better than something AI put together.

This isn’t just the restaurant business either…you all have a REAL story that makes you stand out. Every AI poster or flyer or ad you post makes you look like the next place. Tell your story, show your food and be different…because that’s what people want.

Our slogan: We give a Damn

Here’s the problem with the world right now. People charge insane prices for an outcome they could care less about. People hand over money because it’s all they know…in any kind of marketing or advertising with us or Locally Owned Appleton know that it’s a partnership. My phone is ALWAYS on and always willing to work with people. I give a Damn, and that will never change.

One year ago today I had an idea and a lot of determination.
No clients. No subscribers. Just a belief that small business owners deserve better than being ignored online while bigger companies with bigger budgets take their customers.

I spent that year building something I am genuinely proud of. A free audit tool that tells any business owner exactly where their social media stands in 60 seconds. A monthly playbook that tells them exactly what to post and when. And a system that works for any business anywhere in the world.

To every small business owner who has supported Forward Trends Media this past year — thank you. You are exactly who this was built for.
Year two starts today and we are just getting started.
