"Back 2 Basics Marketing is breath of fresh air. As a small business owner I have found Michelle and her staff to be informative and productive. They have a great knack on how to review and enhance any marketing plans in place and bring fresh ideas to you. This is done with professionalism and with in time restraints and budget considerations. Back 2 Basics Marketing has helped us put a fresh face on our business by redesigning our web page, logo, and by putting together an e-newsletter that gives us immediate responses from our customers. I'm happy to say that Back 2 Basics Marketing has helped us do in months what may have taken us years to complete on our own. Thanks Michelle, and Back 2 Basics Marketing."

"For 25 years I always believed that advertising was a necessary evil to doing business and rarely could I see the benefits of the $2,000.00-5,000.00 a month that I was spending. But since meeting Michelle and the B2B group I have been amazed at how Social media works. The quality of the customers are superior and they come with a referral about us already so it is like they are already my customer. I cannot say enough about Michelle and B2B, but one word: RESULTS."

"Marvelous Maids has been in business for 9 years and we have always struggled in the area of marketing. Hiring Back 2 Basics Marketing has been a great decision for us. They helped us create a new logo, an e-newsletter, new employee uniforms and various marketing pieces to use in our business. I am so impressed with the creativity of the team and every piece they have developed I am proud of the way it represents our company. It is also wonderful as a small business owner to have someone to bounce marketing ideas off of instead of feeling all alone making these key business decisions. I think we are taking our company image to a new level and I look forward to a long partnership with Back 2 Basics."

"I hired Michelle after seeing the positive results she was generating for my colleague Greg Jones. I would describe Michelle as tenacious and fearless in negotiating media buys. She delivers a well thought out plan and then executes the plan brilliantly. Most important, Michelle's strategy positively impacts the bottom line with measurable increase in business. And, she is delightful to work with. What more could you ask for?

"I have known Michelle Nelson over 5 years. During that time she has been a creative person. I have witnessed some pretty amazing things she has done.
When I found out that she owned a marketing firm, I immediately contacted her to find out what she could do for me. I work for MAKCO Equipment Inc., which builds heavy construction equipment. Michelle didn't even bat an eye. She set up a meeting and took charge of our marketing. The results have been remarkable, so far. I say so far, because Michelle has ensured me that the best is yet to come. There is no doubt that this is true. Michelle works hard to keep her clients informed and is relentless in work ethics.
MAKCO Equipment highly recommends Back 2 Basics Marketing to all. Michelle can make a difference.

"Michelle and her Back 2 Basics Marketing team are pleasure to work with. Michelle has put together a great team, and I am very pleased with the design work they have completed for my logo and marketing materials. I now have a consistent brand!
At present Michelle is working on increasing my online visibility by setting up social/online business profiles, sending out an e-newsletter and link-building strategies for my website.
I like meeting with Michelle monthly to review and update our marketing plan. Adeline's Kitchen has only been open for 8 weeks, but we are seeing an increase in retail traffic daily and I feel the brand marketing is playing a part in that, thanks to Michelle. I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings."

"I realized that, although I enjoyed marketing in college and minored in it, I wasn’t doing a very good job for my company. I felt my ideas had gotten stale and I needed an unbiased opinion. I met with Michelle and we clicked. She had energy and enthusiasm. She brought a fresh set of eyes to our marketing program. She introduced me to new ideas and laid out a plan and budget that we could both live with. I like that she shared an hour of her time and talent with me. reviewing what I already had in place, before I had to make a commitment. I have been very pleased working with her. Now with Amy, her new assistant, I get two sharp minds, for the price of one. Now that’s a deal!"

"I own a small printing firm in Denver , Colorado that is growing but has recently taken a new growth pattern...UP! I have known Michelle Nelson for about 4 years and have worked with her in a few different business ventures. I hired Michelle and Back 2 Basics Marketing to help me grow my business. Almost immediately I have experienced a level of growth that I hadn't expected for a couple more years. Michelle is by far the hardest worker and "go-getter" I have seen in any industry. When she agreed to work with me I had no idea the amount of effort she was going to pour into my business. She has taken my printing company into her hands and implemented a marketing program that is creating faster growth than I ever imagined. In a time when money is tight, working with Michelle has been, by far, the best investment I have ever made. I am positive that Michelle and Back 2 Basics Marketing can help any company increase their sales and become more successful. She is aggressive, organized and passionate...what more could you ask for from a marketing professional?"

"Michelle’s always been there for me through the years as a sounding board, and when I started making crafts and wanted to sell them, she helped me to figure out where to focus my sales efforts – she even helped to name my product line, and because of that is instrumental in the names of the new product lines I’ve created or plan to create. I wouldn’t have been able to make my hobby into my full-time business if it weren’t for her."

"I first met Michelle as a client of my company when she went out of her way to let me know how pleased she was in working with one of my Advisors, Diane Barone. I asked Michelle the question of what her thoughts were on how I could best help promote Diane in gaining more clients like her. I could tell instantly that she was a person that I needed to be doing business with. To say that she goes the extra mile would be an understatement. She took the time to thouroughly understand our wants and needs and then looked for creative solutions in addressing them. You always feel like you are her most important client. I couldn't be more pleased. While it is great to have Michelle as a client, my best move was to become a client of hers."
