I hired Crystal Marketing Solutions to help keep my website up-to-date, start a custom client newsletter, increase my social media presence, and have someone that could enhance or create marketing collateral. Crystal is organized, keeps her project management system up to date, and holds herself accountable. As a client, we can constantly see what the CMS team is working on and what stage it’s in.

Crystal listens to ideas and requests, is able to make changes on the fly, and her speed of implementation is amazing. Plus, she’s sincere in everything she does or says and I never feel like I’m waiting on CMS to get something done.

Crystal’s knowledge of LPL Financial Compliance and familiarity with their processes was also an asset. Thanks to her, all of my collateral, both printed and electronic, has been rebranded and kept up with LPL compliance approval. My collateral, website, and social media profiles are now fresh and crisp for when prospective clients view them. I’d certainly recommend Crystal Marketing Solution’s services.”

We decided to work with Crystal Marketing Solutions to enhance the marketing strategies for our firm. It was great to have found Crystal, as she is very knowledgeable in the securities industry and it takes the worry away from us to make sure we are following the correct regulations. She also has a great relationship with our Broker/Dealer, LPL Financial, and can navigate through all of the marketing tools they have to offer.

Crystal is very personable and easy to work with, and I value how we can discuss a project and work together to come up with the right end result.

The CMS team designs all of our newsletters, presentations, and other general marketing materials and they built our website. Without CMS’ help, I’m not sure we would have such a professional website for clients to visit. Plus, they handle all of our social media, which has been fantastic for getting our name out there and generating more calls into our office.

I’d absolutely recommend working with Crystal and her team. In fact, I actually had another LPL Financial Advisor call me to see how we liked Crystal and he ultimately made the decision to hire her."

Project Management
While we work together we’ll use an online project board to keep communication open and transparent. This tool is also used during marketing meetings to ensure focus and to maximize our time together.
Monthly Retainer for Ongoing Support
This retainer gives you direct one-on-one support and guidance with just a phone call or an email.
Experienced Resources
My experience is with independent financial advisers. This is my specialty. I have seen what works and what doesn’t. I have planned client events, created social media content, polished LinkedIn profiles, developed extensive email campaigns, and reworked websites. I know the key components required for success and results. I enjoy staying on top of what is currently going on in my industry as well as new and relevant technology, and I want to share my passion for creative marketing with your firm.
Liaison
I can serve as a liaison for most third-party marketing vendors. While we work together, I represent a part of your team and work in your best interests. I can handle websites, printing, event planning, press releases, and much more. (Note: all third-party fees are billed to the client, including but not limited to hosting, content library, email utility, social media archiving, business listings, and advertising).
