Trumpet Marketing is my “day job”! LOL!
I started Trumpet Marketing in 2002 and haven’t looked back. I’ve enjoyed helping hundreds (maybe thousands of businesses) realize their online business objectives through strategic Internet Marketing and creative website design. I love helping clients achieve their business goals and realize success on the web and social media.
