If marketing has felt heavier than it should lately, you’re not imagining it. For many bookkeepers, marketing falls into one of two categories. It is either something you mean to get to “when things slow down”. Or it is something you try to tackle in short bursts when guilt sets in. Neither approach feels good,…
