Welcome, Loveland Reporter-Herald readers!

Ken Grindall, Loveland-based Pro Marketing Copywriter

“Larimer County: You have a neighbor who can help you get real, new business from any size marketing budget…”

I’d love to tell your story next.

You can have me write every word of a big website or catalog. You can hire me to create a single, fast email or postcard. You can even simply bring me your ready-to-run content for a brief, budget-friendly professional consultation.

Before you spend a penny, we can talk about your marketing plans. Gather up your questions and ideas, numbers and needs, then call me during business hours (303-345-5254) or email me any time.

So, what makes me a value to your business?

Folks respond to my writing by spending money.

Readers have responded since I began making up short stories at five or six years old. Today, even Colorado’s pro marketing community responds, as I write a regular column on Copywriting Careers for the Denver Examiner in addition to this blog. From the moment I got my first shot at writing sales content for a catalog retailer on the east coast in 1994, that company made millions of dollars a year using the content and strategies I created for them. After I moved to Loveland in 2006, a world-wide educational curriculum publisher based in Littleton used my writing in dozens of campaigns that tracked millions more in total sales dollars.

Now, I work at home here in Loveland, Colorado. As a start-up freelancer in the tightest business economy we’ve seen in decades (maybe in my lifetime), I can sure relate to my entrepreneurial neighbors as we all watch our revenues shrink. Nothing like my “salad days” in the comfy, corporate marketing world…

But I’m okay with that. Sure, I need to make ends meet. But I also want to help the small businesses in my community make all their ends meet, too. I’m really good at my job–and it’s great that I can write for clients all across the country from right here in Loveland, but–why not invest that value in my neighbors?

Here on this simple blog site you can find out a bit more about me, read testimony from business owners who’ve seen what my writing can do, and more. You can also subscribe to my new articles (via email or syndicated feed) to learn copywriting tips and advice you can use every day to create effective message marketing… in the end, you may not even need to hire me!

My goal: Stay busy, stay affordable.

Like my “About” info says at the top of the right sidebar on this site, “Everybody wins.”

Some times, I even invest the profit from my writing to let me do my job for nothing (no kidding, I’m that into it). As I worked to launch my solo career, I made an early commitment to set aside a portion of my available time and energy to help a business who can’t afford a professional copywriter at all. Now, once each year, My Marketing Writer awards a customized marketing “makeover” to one organization at no charge. The Loveland Reporter-Herald ran a “Business Brief” on July 11 about the first winner, Anderson Medical Legal Consulting; you can read the whole story here. For 2010, the award nominations begin Tuesday, June 8 and end Sunday, June 20 with the winner announced to the media on Sunday, July 4.

Bottom line: As a neighbor of mine, your marketing results are far more valuable to us both than those of any long-distance client. I’m confident I can help you coax new revenue from your budget, but I want you to be convinced, too. That way, you won’t hesitate to bring me on board again, or recommend me to others in our community. Along the way, we all grow and our city and region thrives.

I’m excited to be here on the Front Range. If you’d like to consider how a bit of well-crafted writing can make a difference in your business, please get in touch. I’d enjoy talking with you.

Thanks for your visit,

Ken Grindall
