Marketing strategy and support in Stowmarket

Practical marketing advice and a plan you can follow, for businesses in Stowmarket and across Mid Suffolk.

Helping Mid Suffolk businesses market with confidence

Right in the middle of Suffolk, Stowmarket and its surrounding villages are home to a broad mix of trades, manufacturers, rural businesses, retailers and service firms. Many are run by owners who do their own marketing in the gaps between everything else, and know it could be doing more.

We make marketing manageable. We help you decide what matters most, focus your time and budget where it counts and stay on track with support when you need it. We work with businesses in Stowmarket, Stowupland, Needham Market, Woolpit, Elmswell, Kersey, Cavendish and across East Anglia.

What our clients say

  • The Handy Marketing Company were recommended to me when we were struggling to recruit. Clair was a delight to work with, knowledgeable, personable, enthusiastic and responsive. Trying to keep things going when you're a team member down can be tough but Clair made it as easy as possible, providing flexibility and a guiding hand as to how to spend our limited budget wisely. She also helped to induct and support the new recruit providing continuity and maintaining quality. I would not hesitate to recommend her and she remains firmly in my contacts should I find myself in the same situation again or have the budget to involve her in specific projects. Everyone needs a Clair in their life.

  • Clair has been an absolute superstar, who has been a pleasure to work with. Her expertise, along with her drive and enthusiasm meant that transitioning across to The Handy Marketing Company was seamless. Clair has excellent ideas, and the knowledge to implement them, whilst taking the pressure off and enabling me to do my day job. I highly recommend Clair and The Handy Marketing Company.
