Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks 🎶
If you grew up near one, you probably still hear that jingle in your head—and carry an Ace memory or two.

Maybe it was a Saturday run with your dad to grab a new hose nozzle, only to end up waiting while he chatted with his favorite staff member about gutters for 45 minutes.

Or maybe it was standing in front of the tiny drawers of nails, scribbling numbers on an envelope like you were on a secret mission.

And always—there was the scent of popcorn. Ace has always had that Mr. Rogers energy. The kind of place where everyone knew your name, and the aisles felt more like a front porch than a store.

Ace gets it: Marketing is never just about what you sell. It’s about how you make people feel. The transaction ends, but the connection echoes!

That’s a question that’s easy to lose sight of in the hustle of daily operations. But it’s worth revisiting:
How does your business make people feel?

Promotions win their attention. Operations win their loyalty. In retail, a good promo might get someone through the door, but it’s what happens next that really matters. If the product’s not on the shelf, the team’s not prepped, the sale isn’t set up at the register, that first impression isn’t so great. When marketing sets the hook and operations deliver the experience, that’s when shoppers turn into regulars. It’s all about turning buzz into loyalty.

Check out for all the details on their MORE program offering 75% off California-grown produce to CalFresh shoppers when you use your EBT card. This promotion was not only well executed, it’s been a big hit with the community—both with folks using food assistance and those who aren’t. Making fresh, healthy food more accessible to everyone while supporting local farmers? Yes, please!

Thinking outside the box… or maybe inside it? 😂

Just wrapped up another shoot with the talented !

Every time we work together, I’m reminded of how powerful great photos are for your marketing strategy.

Now, the question I often get: Can’t we just take photos on our phones? Sure! Not every post needs to be a showstopper.

Investing in professional photos can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve had a less-than-great experience before (trust me, I understand!). A good shoot starts with clear goals, a solid shot list, and a photographer who knows how to bring it all together and deliver results.

High-quality images do a lot: they create consistency, perform better in ads, boost your website, improve Google search results, and give you enough content to keep your social media fresh — without the weekly scramble.

As a consultant, I team up with Jessie to provide our clients not just incredible photos, but a full marketing strategy. I’ve worked with Jessie for over 10 years, and she always delivers. With her, you get quality, reliability, and an experience that’s smooth and enjoyable.

Do you need professional photos to do well on social media? Honestly, it always helps and is always worth the investment. But, if you can’t afford it, don’t let that stop you from posting.

One of my clients is the Los Alamos Co-op. Their posts are real, a little scrappy, and full of heart—and their community loves it. Authenticity really does connect. It’s real. 👊

That said…professional photos absolutely help (and make a huge difference) if you have the budget for it. They catch people’s attention, work with the algorithm, create brand consistency, and help you tell your story in a more polished way.

But they’re not a requirement. Start with what you have. Show up consistently. Be true to your brand. It will come across. Budget for pro photos down the line - you won’t regret it.

Supporting local farms, feeding our communities!
I recently collaborated with Chico Natural Foods Co-op in California. Together, we enhanced their outreach efforts to spotlight their newly expanded MORE (Matching On Regional Eats) program, which now offers CalFresh recipients a 75% discount on all California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables - up from 50% previously!

This initiative aims to make healthy, local food more accessible to their community while supporting regional farmers.

I had the privilege of partnering with the Co-op to amplify this program. Our comprehensive strategy included engaging handouts, targeted mailers, collaborations with like-minded organizations, press releases, in-store signage, paid advertisements, and consistent messaging and branding.

The MORE program not only benefits shoppers but also strengthens the local food economy. By increasing revenue for regional farmers and food producers, this co-op is building a more sustainable and resilient food system. ďżź

Let’s continue to support and uplift our local communities!

From One Student to a Waiting List! Meet Andrew Stone, the owner of , a flight school based in Livingston and serving the Bozeman area. Spoiler alert: now’s he’s got a full roster and a waiting list! Here’s how we made that happen:

When Andrew first reached out to me, he had a logo, a clear vision, and a dream to build his own flight school. He was ready to put some of the work in and needed support to make it all come together.

We started by refining his website. While Andrew had already set it up, it needed tweaks to make it more engaging and SEO-friendly. I helped him write compelling copy, improve design elements, and make the site easy to navigate. Then we created a custom brand kit, choosing colors and fonts that reflected the aviation vibe of his business.

Next, we took his social media presence to the next level. Using the brand kit, we crafted engaging graphics and posts designed to raise awareness and boost engagement. We supported that with promotions and targeted Meta ads to reach the right audience. To top it off, we landed a feature article in local media, which boosted his visibility even further.

Six months later, Andrew’s flight school is flying high! Thanks to the foundation we built, Andrew and his wife are now transitioning to managing the marketing themselves along with some training from me to get them there!

This is why I love what I do—helping motivated small business owners like Andrew find marketing solutions that build momentum and drive real results - not just chasing the latest marketing trends for likes.l

Growing up in Bozeman, I always knew a birthday party wasn’t complete without a beautifully wrapped gift from Rocky Mountain Toy Co.

Now, as a mom, it’s even more special to watch a new generation—my own kids included—experience the magic of this beloved, family-owned toy shop.

Since 1992, they’ve been spreading joy and play, one awesome gift at a time. That’s why I’m beyond thrilled to be working with them through Blue Dog Media.

Local to Bozeman? Check out their Toy Club! Spend $200 and get $20 in store credit, plus enjoy 20% off any toy during your child’s birthday month.

Supporting an independent business, keeping Main Street local, and saving on toys? That’s what I call a win-win! 🎁✨ Give this small business a follow and consider skipping the big box stores the next time you are shopping for toys!

Big corporations see you as a number. Local businesses see you as a neighbor. Want a stronger community? Start with where you spend your money. Choose local—because true connections aren’t made by algorithms, they’re made by people.

Work’s a circus, holiday shopping’s a maze, and your inbox is basically a black hole. Sometimes you just gotta step away, reset, and pretend your to-do list doesn’t exist.

It’s Small Business Saturday—time to celebrate the dreamers, doers, and risk-takers who prove that small is mighty.

At Blue Dog, we’re all about small! I work exclusively with independent businesses that are ready to grow but don’t have the budget for a full-time marketing manager or the all-inclusive services of a traditional firm. These business owners often need flexible, more immediate solutions to specific marketing goals to get the wheels moving. It’s all about tailored support, creative thinking, and smart strategy.
