Outflare Marketing Holds Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Linzie Batchelor, Outflare Marketing, along with family, friends and Chamber Ambassadors cuts her ribbon joining the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce.

Outflare Marketing is a full-service, creative, contemporary, and affordable marketing agency that specializes in providing marketing services for small businesses. Twelve years ago, owner Linzie Batchelor realized the increasing need for a marketing agency able to provide a way for small businesses to outsource their marketing without sacrificing quality. While working as marketing director for an independent pharmacy for several years, Batchelor noticed many small business owners understood the importance of a clear marketing strategy and execution, but lacked the time to do it themselves, or the budget to hire a professional marketer. As social media platforms rose in popularity, many business owners began scrambling to manage building accounts and posting on their own, hiring inexperienced friends or family members, or ignoring social media completely. Hiring a full-term marketer is cost-prohibitive for many small businesses, and very few experienced marketers are willing to work part-time. Just as a small business can outsource their bookkeeping, Outflare allows business owners to outsource their marketing to a local agency that understands their company, their market, and their budget.
