Marketing & business support for women since 2011
Hello, gorgeous.
You’re in exactly
the right place.
Whether you want more customers, more sales, more confidence in your marketing, or you’d just love a bit more money at the end of the month, you’ll find everything you need right here. Start by finding out what marketing actually works for your business.
The Small Business Marketing Club
Never wonder what to do with your marketing again
Every month you get a marketing pack with your plan already worked out. What to promote, what to post, what to email, and what to do next to get more customers. Plus a short masterclass, two co-working sessions, a live clinic with me, and years of training in the vault.
And a free listing on Support a Small Business, worth £99 a year. Our public directory of independent businesses, and every business on it is a Club member. Another place for customers, search engines and AI to find you.
£12 a month or £120 for the year if you join before 31 August
Join the Club for £12£15 and £150 after that. Join at £12 and you stay at £12 for as long as you're a member. You're in straight away, and you can cancel anytime.
Free, and it takes two minutes
Get your own personalised marketing plan
Not every business needs Instagram, and not everyone has an hour a day. Answer seven quick questions and I'll work out what's actually holding your marketing back, then send you a plan.
What to fix first, what to do this week, what to do this month, and what to stop bothering with. Built round your kind of business and the time you've actually got.
Question 1 of 7
That's the questions done
Right, where shall I send it?
Your plan is ready. Pop your name and email in and it'll open up on the next screen, and I'll email you a link so you don't lose it.

Meet Your Marketing Coach
Hello, I’m Claire
I live in beautiful North Yorkshire with my lovely family, Meggie the dog and a flock of rescue chickens.
I started The Girls Mean Business back in 2011 because I wanted to help women build businesses that actually make them money, without needing a marketing degree, a massive budget or all day to spend messing around on social media.
These days I help women work out how to get more people seeing their business, turn that attention into customers and sales, and make marketing feel a lot less complicated.
Never miss a thing
Good things in your inbox a few times a week
Marketing tips, real business stories and the occasional peek behind the scenes.
I email a few times a week, and some weeks most days. Nothing spammy. Just the kind of email you actually look forward to opening.
