A lot of small business owners think they're behind on marketing.

But they're also answering emails, serving customers, managing projects, handling bookkeeping, putting out fires, and trying to remember what day it is.

Of course, marketing keeps sliding down the list.

Most small businesses don't need to be posting every day.

They don't need a complicated funnel.

They don't need to be on every platform.

They need a website that works.
A few consistent ways to stay visible.
And a plan they can actually keep up with.

That’s where I spend most of my time helping clients.

Marketing gets a lot easier when the goal isn't perfection.

It's showing up consistently enough that people remember you're there.

I run two businesses.

Melissa Koren Photography & You're A Big Deal Digital Marketing.

From Weddings to Web Design may not seem like the most linear path, but honestly, it never felt like an awkward progression.

Photography.
Websites.
Social media.
Marketing.

They're all really about helping people decide whether they trust you.

A great headshot isn't about looking perfect - it puts a face to the business.

A good website isn't about winning design awards - it helps people understand what you do.

A social post isn't about going viral - it's to remind them you're still there.

Different tools. Same goal.

It's all communication.

It's helping someone understand who you are and decide whether they want to take the next step.

The businesses that connect best are usually the ones willing to show up as themselves.

One of my favorite parts of Lauren's review for the new Sunspell Flora website wasn't about the design.

It was this:

"She provided some worksheets for me so the website felt authentic to my small business."

Because honestly? Most people don't struggle with the website itself.

They struggle with figuring out what to say.

They're experts in what they do, but when it's time to explain it on a website, suddenly they're staring at a blank screen, wondering where to start.

That's why every website project starts with a lot of questions.

Not because I'm trying to make more work for clients, but because the best websites sound like the business owner, not the web designer.

The design matters.

The photos matter.

But if the website doesn't feel like you, none of that matters much.

And in Lauren’s case, having gorgeous flowers certainly didn’t hurt. 🌸 (to say I was obsessed is a gross understatement)

Sunspell Flora grows seasonal flowers in Essex County, MA, and every image on this site made me more convinced I should turn my yard into a cut flower extravaganza.

You don’t need to be on every platform, posting every day, to have a real marketing plan.

Your actual marketing plan lives where three things overlap:
where your people actually are
what you can realistically keep up with
what you want to be known for

If one of those pieces is missing or misdirected, it’s exhausting, ineffective, or both.

If you want help figuring out what belongs in the overlap for your business, start with my contact form and tell me what you’re currently juggling: youreabigdeal.com/contact.

Bare minimum marketing doesn’t mean “doing the least you can get away with.”

It means picking a realistic level of effort you can actually sustain, rather than promising yourself a content calendar you’ll resent in three weeks.

Your bare minimum might be:

📧 one email a month
🤳 one social post a week
💻 keeping your Google Business Profile current

The point isn’t to do it all.

The point is to do something consistently enough that people remember you exist.

If you want help figuring out what your “bare minimum” actually looks like, start with my contact form and tell me what’s on your plate right now.

One of my favorite things about working with small businesses is watching people relax about being photographed once we’ve actually started.

You don’t need to feel “photogenic” to get photos that feel like you. At least 90% of my clients will swear they are not, and it’s my job to prove them wrong.

You just need space to be a person, not a statue.

If updated headshots or brand photos are on your “I should really do something about that” list, I can help.

Most of my projects start with some version of:

“I know I need to do something about my marketing, but I don’t even know what to ask for.”

That’s entirely normal.

You’re running a business, not keeping track of the difference between messaging, website copy, social strategy, emails, and brand photography.

If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure, we’ll talk about:

✅ what’s working
🚫 what’s not
🌊 what absolutely has to feel easier this year

And from there, we can decide if you actually need a new site, better copy, clearer offers, more consistent social, or just a few simple systems so things stop living in your head.

If your marketing has felt like “I should really do something about that” for a while now, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start with my contact form – https://www.youreabigdeal.com/contact – there’s an “I don’t know, I need help!” option, and I’ll help you sort out what actually needs to happen next.

All too often, I find that small businesses quietly translate “professional” into stiff, formal, and a little hard to understand.

But if your work depends on relationships, referrals, community, and real human connection, that version of “professional” doesn’t actually help -

It just makes it harder for your audience to figure out what you do and whether you’re a good fit for them.

Your marketing can be clear, honest, informative, AND still sound like you.

You are your business. Your voice is enough.

You’re a big deal.

Over the last few months, I’ve been quietly rebuilding You’re A Big Deal from the inside out.

New website. Clearer direction. Simpler messaging.

A more refined reflection of how I actually work with clients and what kinds of projects I enjoy most.

The goal, as always, is to make the work feel human, sustainable, and aligned with the small businesses and nonprofits I actually love working with.

Practical support.

If you’re running a small business or nonprofit and want a clear website, more consistent marketing, or just a trusted partner to help sort through ideas and keep projects moving, this new version of YABD is built with you in mind.

The new site is live!
