They also have to compete with larger companies, and must find creative ways to stand out from the crowd.
In this episode, Beth and Brandon talk with Robbie Johnson Weinberg, owner and founder of Eclectic Eye. As a small business owner, Robbie offers insight into the role that branding and public relations play in building the independent eyewear boutique that she and her husband started more than 17 years ago.

Incorporating Video Into Your PR Strategy
First, it was photos, and now, it's video.

Staying up-to-date on the current trends for communicating with your audience is crucial to keep your business on the digital map.
