My husband’s family are catholic, but when I met Jon, our local church did not have a permanent priest. There were visiting priests for weekend services, but the problem was neither Jon nor I liked any of them.
But that changed in June 2009 when Father Denis arrived.
He was unlike any other catholic priest I had ever met. One reason for this I believe is that he came late to the priesthood, having worked as a carpenter for 16 years before answering his calling.
He lived a normal life, gaining experience in many situations. This gives him the ability to relate to many of the challenges his congregation face.
He has been a priest for 20 years and had brought an overdue sense of family to the parish. His mixed life experience has left him well placed to provide advice and support.
It is great when you can find the help and advice you need from an expert, especially when they are approachable as well as knowledgeable.
And this applies when it comes to your business, and in particular your marketing and advertising.
I’m sure you want your business to flourish. And we both know the best way to do that is to make the best possible impression on your new and existing customers.
So, you need to deliver the right message, to the right person, at the right time, over the right medium.
But how do you do all of that without falling foul of the ever-changing mix of rules, regulations and laws?
The truth is there’s no substitute for expert advice.
It won’t be free, but the consequences of getting it wrong will probably cost you a whole lot more.
