Small Business Marketing

In addition to working with hospitality, lodging, food, and tourism businesses, Pam enjoys working with small businesses, those with “worthy” purposes that help to make the world a better place in some way. PKC has worked with authors, artists, house painters, woodworkers, family and horse dentists, a goat milk soap maker, an antique dealer, carriage driving trainers, a concert pianist, an electrical contractor, a retail consultant in Arizona, and a kennel that raises rare Japanese hunting dogs in Florida, to name a few.

They all have interesting stories and unique specialties. Potential customers appreciate learning about the principles and people behind a business and discovering what makes it special. This messaging is communicated via their websites, in print materials, through email campaigns, blog posts, and social media. Pam Knights helps to bring those unique attributes into focus through creative messaging, content creation, and compelling visuals. PKC’s team of talented professionals work to produce distinctive print and digital marketing materials and customized Word Press websites.

Sue Hudson and Terry Culver
A big THANK YOU to Pam Knights Communications and ONNA Web Design for their work updating our website. It was a full redesign of the site which included updated copy, layout & photos with responsive design for ease of viewing on PC, laptop, tablet & mobile. Pam and Hillary make a great team, are super easy to work with and made a scary project completely doable and maintainable.
