Regional
Marketing 
Playbook

Just $79

It’s not designed to add more to your plate, but to help you use what you already have, in a better way. Our Playbook was built specifically for rural and regional small businesses who want marketing to feel clear, manageable and worthwhile.

WHAT IS IT?

We know that in regional communities, trust, familiarity and consistency matter way more than trends, so that’s what this is built around.

​

It’s explained in plain language, using realistic examples from a regional service business. You’ll work through short, practical exercises at your own pace, with tips you can start using straight away.

​

We promise it’s not about doing more marketing! It’s about doing the right things consistently, without it taking over your week. Sounds pretty handy, huh?

We’re here to make your life easier, so we’ve organised the Playbook around an uncomplicated system that builds momentum without overwhelm:

​1. Clarity: get clear on what you do, who you help and what you’re known for, so your business is easy to explain and recommend

​

2. Visibility: focus your effort where it actually matters, instead of trying to show up everywhere because that’s exhausting

 

3. Content: learn what to say using simple content themes that make posting easier and more consistent

​

4. Consistency: set up small, repeatable systems that work alongside running your business

​

5. Conversion: make next steps obvious so attention turns into enquiries, bookings or sales – the part we all love!

WHO'S IT FOR?

It’s the perfect fit for small businesses operating in regional and rural Australia who:

​

  • Rely on word of mouth, repeat customers and local reputation

  • Find their marketing tends to feel patchy, rushed or easy to put off

  • Want something practical and realistic, not just hype or trends

  • Need marketing to fit around the realities of running the business

  • Want marketing to feel calmer, clearer and more confident

 

It’s suitable for service-based businesses, product-based businesses, owner-operators and small teams alike.

WHO ISN'T IT FOR?

The Playbook may not be the right fit if you:

​

  • Are looking for quick wins, hacks or viral growth tactics

  • Want advanced ad strategies, funnels or complex digital campaigns

  • Are a large organisation with a dedicated internal marketing team managing day‑to‑day marketing

  • Prefer experimentation over repeatable systems

WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH

  • A better understanding of how marketing can fit into your day-to-day work flows

  • A framework to guide your marketing decisions

  • Business positioning and messaging that’s easier to explain, post about and promote

  • Clarity on which platforms are actually worth showing up on

  • Practical content ideas (and examples!) you can borrow inspiration from

  • A more sustainable, realistic approach to showing up consistently

  • Google Business Profile tips and tricks because honestly, this thing is gold

  • A plan for your next month of content (so future you can exhale…)

  • Ready-to-use templates and wording for things like call to actions and customer emails, so you’re not starting from scratch every time
