Description:
In business since the inception of the Internet in 1995, the HereNextYear brand and commitment to excellence is firmly established within the Denver author/speaker market. HereNextYear has also served national and international clients, which were obtained through personal and internet referrals.
Founder Marty Dickinson is co-author of Web Marketing All-in-One for Dummies (Wiley 2009), now in its 4th printing, and has used public speaking at workshops and the conference level for 8 years as the primary lead generator for HereNextYear. He currently has joint ventures in place with email giant Constant Contact, AuthorU, Colorado Independent Publishers Association (CIPA) and National Speakers Association (NSA).
While always dreaming of expanding nationwide, national projects have up to date been limited to referral business or Marty's own social networking. Colorado based small businesses, authors and speakers have been the main staple of the company's sales, generated through speaking engagements and local contacts in the speaker/author market.
Even with the company's limited reach, sales have more than doubled since 2008. However, as with many successful service businesses, the main challenge for HereNextYear is finding the resources (both financial and organizational) needed to emerge from a “one man show” with a winning brand and message to a thriving national business.
HereNextYear is now seeking partners with the resources and excitement needed to expand HereNextYear on a more extensive basis nationwide.
