  • Feeling overwhelmed with your marketing tasks?

  • Struggling to get your vision off the ground?

  • Want some part-time marketing support for your small business or nonprofit?

  • Confused by the varied aspects of digital marketing & its related technology & looking for advice?

  • Need a marketing project or website completed?

Need marketing help?

Perhaps I can assist.

I love using technology to solve business problems, bringing order out of chaos, and seeing others’ visions become reality. I get excited about the HOW of things, the strategies and the tactics that can be deployed to solve a particular problem or meet a particular objective.

I also care deeply about local communities thriving. When small businesses thrive, the local economy is stimulated, the environmental impact is reduced because products and services are accessible nearby, and more dollars are available to support local nonprofits.

I believe strongly in collaboration - that we all have something to learn from each other, and we each have unique skills and experiences that make us great at what we do. And no one can do absolutely everything, even though small business owners & nonprofit leaders often try to do it all! They need a team of cost-effective, outsourced experts at the ready who can free them to focus on what they do best: delivering products & services to THEIR clients.

Why I’m here.

My mission is to free local small businesses & nonprofits to focus on serving their clients by easing their marketing load with outsourced marketing & project management services.

I want to see local small businesses and nonprofits thrive by helping them establish, sustain & deepen their connections with their clients in a profitable or cost-effective way.

You can read the detailed list of services I offer below, but in a nutshell they fall into these 3 categories:

  • Essential branding work

  • Digital presence (which includes websites, online business listings & SEO)

  • Ongoing marketing services to get, keep & grow clients

I’M KRISTI RINEHART

Your Versatile Marketing Professional

kristi-stairs1080PX.jpg

I am a highly productive and efficient marketing project manager, with a desire to make a positive impact on your business objectives. With over 20 years of diverse marketing experience in B2B, B2C and nonprofit environments, I enjoy coming alongside small businesses & nonprofits to provide marketing expertise and ongoing marketing services that make a difference to their bottom line and/or bring key projects to completion.

I consider myself a versatile marketing asset on your team that can serve as a part-time outsourced marketing director or project manager on a monthly retainer. I am also available for hire on a project basis.

My ideal clients are:

  • Located in the Pacific Northwest or Inland Northwest because I often like to travel to client sites to help with content creation

  • Profitable, independently-owned businesses with less than $5M in sales or fewer than 20 employees

  • In the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) space with a presence in their local community

  • Nonprofits with access to grant funding

  • Businesses and nonprofits primarily serving or led by women

take a journey with rinehart marketing

Let’s take a journey together.

I will take time to understand your needs, your business, your market, and the way you currently relate to and communicate with your clients prior to presenting you with a proposal. All of my new engagements go through a review of these three key areas:

Your Branding Essentials

In order to maximize the results from any marketing strategies & tactics you have in mind, you need to ensure your brand strategy is clear and cohesive. We will review what you currently have in place, and if needed, I can work with you to build out your brand strategy & brand identity assets. Any content created going forward will depend on having this foundation solid.

Digital Presence - SEO & CRO

Fundamental to getting found online is:

  1. Having your website optimized for relevance around your target keywords (called onsite Search Engine Optimization or SEO)

  2. Establishing your website as a trustworthy resource for those keyword searches (called offsite SEO).

Also, once visitors land on your site, you want your site to do an excellent job of leading them to take the next step of engagement, like viewing deeper content or completing a contact form, which is called Conversion Rate Optimization, or CRO.

We will discuss where the gaps are and how I can help with website and business listing services.

Ongoing Marketing Services to Get, Keep & Grow your Clients

If you are looking for ongoing marketing support, my consultation will include a discussion of the customer relationships “funnel” and how various marketing strategies and tactics can work to establish, sustain, and deepen your connections with your clients (and donors and volunteers if you are a nonprofit). The outcome of that conversation, combined with how much you are able to invest in marketing, will inform what I recommend we do going forward. Core elements will likely include website enhancements, content marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, local SEO, and reputation management.

Once we are working together, we will meet regularly to review results, discuss what’s working and what’s not, make the needed adjustments, and outline rolling quarterly plans.

Rinehart Marketing Values

We are question-askers to get clarity of purpose & objectives. We keep objectives clearly in view throughout the project.

Focus

As we ask questions, together we learn. We assume we are a team working together toward a common goal.

Collaboration

It’s important for us to feel a connection to our clients. We want to create working relationships that bring us mutual joy, fun and fulfillment!

Connection

We can’t help giving our whole effort to a task. We have high personal standards and take pride in our quality of work.

Excellence

We are process & systems thinkers, and look for ways to do things smarter over time. We regularly ask, ‘What difference will this effort make?’

Efficiency

As lifelong learners with growth mindsets, we will look for ways to try something new that can be measured and see what can be learned.

Experimentation over perfection

We love looking for ways we can serve our clients while doing good, and making a difference in the world. We are particularly passionate about supporting and elevating women-led businesses and nonprofits that primarily serve women.
