Inspiring business growth…

BUSINESS
PLANNING

Whether you’re thinking about starting a new business or need to make some critical changes to an existing one, SOF can help get you to “the other side of the rainbow.” We’ll work with you to clarify your vision, validate your assumptions and carefully craft your plan.

For over 30 years, we’ve successfully helped our clients start, grow and manage their businesses. We have experience in a wide variety of industries including outdoor adventure, tourism, publishing, health care, training and education, software, professional consulting, telecommunications, manufacturing, real estate and retail.

Our expertise includes market research and brand development, sales & distribution, product design, manufacturing and fulfillment, IT planning and implementation and financial forecasting, budgeting and accounting setup.

MARKETING

The left-brainer is your basic analytical, process-driven, dot-the-i’s-cross-the-t’s-pocket-protector type of character while the right-brainer tends to roll more along the lines of “rules-what-rules, where’d-I-put-my-car-keys, maybe-I’ll-cut-off-my-ear-today.”

True genius, on the other hand, doesn’t have a permanent residence in either sphere, preferring to bounce back and forth between the analytical and the creative like a Forrest Gump ping-pong ball.

And, when it comes to marketing and advertising, that’s the way we like it.

Our left side asks and answers the tough questions like: Who are you trying to reach, where are they, what do they want, how do we get their attention and what do we do with them once we have them?

Our right side takes care of figuring out what to say and the best way to say it.

Our left side works on systems to track, measure and report the results of our efforts while our right side makes sure employees have the right tools and resources to be successful. Both sides work together with your side to make a difference for your business.

WEB DESIGN &
DEVELOPMENT

Websites are like restaurants – the great ones are easy-to-find, clean, attractive, fast and friendly. The experience is so satisfying, you look forward to coming back. The not-so-great ones – well, you know that story…

We want to build you a great Website. Whether you need your site to tell your story, generate leads, book orders, enable collaboration or streamline operations, our experienced team of designers, copywriters, animators, programmers and database gurus will make it happen. We’ll work closely with you throughout the project defining your requirements, preparing the site plan, gathering content, designing and refining the look and feel, and delivering a finished site that exceeds your expectations.
