About the “Advertising”
Barger Advertising specializes in providing freelance marketing, design, and communications support for all types of businesses and organizations. But what does “freelance” really mean? In one word, flexibility. But you’re probably looking for a little more than one word.

Here are three essential things that you should know about freelance work:

1. You can take advantage of freelance work as often or as little as you like. This can be as frequently as once a week (or more!) or as infrequently as once a year (or less!). Perhaps you’re goal is to have a monthly newsletter for your organization. Then again, perhaps you only have a one-time need to produce some new marketing materials or an annual report. Either way, Barger Advertising is at your service when needed.
   
   
2. Freelance work is affordable. You’ve heard the expression, “you get what you pay for.” At Barger Advertising this means that you will consistently get the quality results that you expect, while only paying for the work of one person. You will not pay for separate people to create copy, design material, answer the phone, handle the finances, clean the office, market the company, or oversee the company; therefore, you will not pay for unnecessary expenses. You will be working directly with the one person who handles all of this (which, by the way, also means you will receive unmatched, individualized customer service).
   
   
3. Freelance work can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. Maybe you’re not very familiar with marketing and you’re really not sure what kind of marketing you should be doing. In this case, Barger Advertising can help guide your organization from an initial marketing concept to a final completed project. This can include determining the best marketing plan for your business, as well as preparing all of the materials to go along with it. On the other hand, maybe you have an extensive marketing background and you know exactly what you want, but you just don’t have time to do it. In this case, Barger Advertising will listen to your wants and needs, right down to the last detail, color, graphic, or font, to ensure that you receive the exact product that you are envisioning.
