As a new Canadian company, we wanted help entering the US market.  Strasmark walked us through, step by step all the things we needed to do.  They recommended using sales reps to reach the Specialty Market.  Because of their strong relationships, they were able to secure sales coverage for the entire US in under a week.  Their sales management has delivered 6 figure sales results in a matter of months.  Along the way, they also helped us with product testing, sales materials, and factory sourcing - helping us find new potential suppliers.

Because of their dedication and hard work, we expanded their role to include the management of our social media and online advertising.  They delved deep into our brand story and captured the essence of what we are trying to do here at Studiostone.  The photography and copy they provide is creative and powerfully on brand.   They’ve been invaluable technical resources helping us solve Shopify, WooCommerce, Facebook and Instagram stumbling blocks.  We highly recommend the Strasmark team.

I contacted Strasmark for coaching and advice on how to navigate the toy industry.

Strasmark helped me with decisions about packaging, marketing and how best to sell my products. It was great to have a team to work with collaboratively – to bounce ideas and help me stay on track. They showed me the ropes on how to work with International Distributors. They built key tools to help me manage my business including a container planner, pricing, and margin analysis. I had them attend key meetings with me and their guidance was invaluable.

I learned a lot about the industry and my business!

As an independent toy store owner, I wear every hat and I can’t always get everything done. I hired Anita to help with my store expansion project. Anita embodies the "owner perspective" -- she is respectful of my business, wins over my employees so they like and want to work with her, and is a trusted resource with whom I can brainstorm, problem-solve and learn.  It is easy for a consultant to come in and say, "everything is wrong here."  Anita identifies and leverages my business's strengths while helping me make sweeping operational changes that improve my bottom line.  She knows cash flow & inventory management!
‍
Flexibility & Pricing:  Anita's flexibility allows us to work together remotely, which keeps costs lower.  Her "owner mindset" is evident in her speed and efficiency.  She is always conscious of the project's ROI, and is the first to raise her hand if she doesn't feel the project will be worth the cost. I can't recommend her highly enough!
