Ms Bliss provided a great service to our small business at a price a small business can handle. Top qualities: Great Results, Good Value, Creative. I ordered her “knowledge is Bliss” package where she interviews a selection of clients and provides marketing feedback. As we suspected, our clients liked us for reasons that we overlooked. As computer specialists we pride ourselves in our backups and documentation procedures. We have already used these new materials as part of how we started two new accounts. Allison let us know that our clients REALLY like our responsiveness, which we had taken for granted as the nature of the job. With the information Ms. Bliss provided us we hired an artist to make up a logo for us and provide a color theme for our letterhead, street level sign and website. [We were also able to] define the content of our website and our tri-fold handouts. “Responsive” took center stage. At a very affordable price our marketing and image got a facelift that normally only a larger company could afford. That is not all there is to sales, but having publicity that provides a good and accurate impression makes it easier to solicit a new account. Allison did not pay me to write this and I know it sounds like an ad. Well, it is an ad. I strongly recommend her services and am glad we made use of them.

Allison's Creative Strategy Walk is a wonderful opportunity to take your mind and body outside the constraints of the office and, with her skilled help, goose your outside-the-box thinking. [to] explore ideas for bringing in new business. I left our session with renewed enthusiasm for implementing new plans.

Allison is creative, responsive, professional and delivers exactly what she promises. Plus, she really digs into your business and your goals. She develops an understanding of who you are and what you’re trying to do, and then makes solid — and individual — recommendations that really work. If you need a revamped marketing plan or some ideas on how you can get the word out and grow your business, you need Allison! Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, On Time.

goes the extra mile for her clients and has a really great team of creatives. . . strengthening my marketing message, and making me look really good. Their prices are fair, and they deliver.

I chose Allison Bliss Consulting because my marketing had stalled out. As much as I could learn about marketing tactics, I always felt that they weren’t getting applied in an effective manner. Everything seemed hit or miss, and I didn’t even know if things were working or not. Allison was able to quickly understand what I had already done, and assess what needed tweaking, ramping up, or overhauling. Best of all, she put the activities into a time-line schedule, so that I can concentrate on doing the right things at the right times to get the best results.

Because of Allison’s thorough analysis and delivery of our business plan, we have been awarded a cash grant by our City government to help our company grow to the next level. Working with Allison Bliss Consulting was a wonderful experience. I recommend her services highly. Allison made the pain of developing a business plan an exciting and pain-free process. She kept us on track and focused throughout the project and took the time to listen to our needs and delivered well above and beyond our expectations. Allison’s suggestions on improving our business strategy and outlook were a blessing too. We now have a solid business plan that specifically reflects our new company direction and focus.

Incredible, measurable value that just keeps on building.That’s my experience with Allison Bliss. She interviewed my clients (which gave me some surprising insights), to define my company’s positioning points. Beyond my business design contributions, clients now perceived me as even more committed to helping them be successful. My esteem climbed as did my team image. All that for a very affordable investment. I gained so many testimonial quotes from half a dozen clients that I have been able to use Allison’s results for years in my advertising and collateral materials.

I've been an entrepreneur for a few years now but was not happy with the level I was at in my business. I had decided to 'retool' some of my products and programs in order to bring in more revenue, but I also had a lot of concerns and confusion on how to proceed. And I didn't have a lot of time and money to experiment. During our walk, Allison provided better ideas on what I could offer to boost sales. And I got a lot more clarity for how I should proceed that's going to save me a lot of time. I've already started to implement the strategies she gave me. I highly recommend this service with Allison. I think the value is WAY more than the investment.

If knowledge is bliss, than Allison must surely be the incarnation of Saraswati – the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge. It is difficult to express in words what a gem she is in terms of her insight, intelligence, range of skills, knowledge of marketing, sales, operations and staffing, and her love of entrepreneurship and the arts. Why is her knowledge of arts a plus? Because she brings an artistic sensibility to every facet of her work with individuals and small businesses. About two years ago, I hired Allison to begin to assist me with my marketing. I have found her to be an invaluable resource ever since. She is so much more than a marketing consultant having a firm grasp of staffing and operational issues, in addition to PR, sales, branding, promotion. She is a creative thinker and understands how to help small businesses do a lot creatively and strategically on a limited budget. She is also very dedicated and committed to my business’s success. Oftentimes I have required a quick edit or feedback on a marketing letter or copy that I am developing. On many occasions, I have sent her something asking her to turn it around by the next day. Allison frequently has put aside some of her other priorities to respond to my requests for help. It is hard to find such dedication and quality these days. I have no hesitation in recommending her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Let me count the ways I valued consultations from Allison Bliss Consulting: 1) The pre-session homework was sobering and thoughtful. It helped me focus. It got me in a receptive, let’s-get-to-it consciousness for the sessions. 2) Allison’s gracious manner throughout made me feel at ease, valued, and receptive. 3) Her careful reading of what I had sent helped cut to the essence of my issues, needs and possibilities. 4) The editing she had performed on my spiritual business plan flyer moved it forward faster. 5) Everything she did made me cut to the chase of the issue of self-worth, which led to being clearer about the worth I offer, and creating a worthwhile flyer. 6) Her willingness to go beyond the time was an extra gracious gift. 7) Her unflinching willingness to say the truth as she sees it was quite valuable. Thanks especially for that.

I can see how I will easily double my revenues this year & leverage my strengths. I am amazed by all that has happened since I began to work with Allison’s company. She provides a powerful kind of support.

I hired Allison to interview my executive coaching and consulting clients in order to clarify value received from my services and to consider ways my work could be enhanced. I didn’t want to ask certain questions that might be perceived as self-serving, yet I wanted those questions asked. I believed that my clients may not be as candid with me-about my services- as they would be with a third person. Additionally, I didn’t want to burden my busy clients by asking for a written testimonial. It wasn’t easy to find someone I trusted enough for this delicate task. But Allison’s experience and comfortable manner put me at ease. She is a skilled interviewer and it was extremely valuable to have a written transcript of the interviews. It was also great to have a closing session with Allison to review the interviews. She made several very important suggestions that included clear strategies for implementation. This was a totally unexpected benefit from our work. I’m sure her marketing and business development suggestions will nurture the growth of my business and support better service to my clients.

Allison has been extremely helpful in developing the strategic marketing plan for the North Bay Council. In particular, her ability to interview the Council’ members and elicit candid feedback has been a very effective way to do reconnaissance. As an Executive Director of a non-profit business coalition, the information has been invaluable and a real eye-opener.

I found this strategically guided "Walk with Bliss" quite an innovative and profound process. the change of landscape during the walk, and having Allison engage me in the marketing inquiries became a Gestalt experience. As a marketing consultant, Allison truly shines in her ability to track the deeper message and themes - able to identify core benefits of my work in ways that I would not have seen. The value is that I now have a better understanding about my brand and my unique services.
