It wasn't so very long ago that to get your business name out there you had to pay for expensive media advertising, and for small business that was crippling. Many business owners did not have the required skills to write good ads and most small business owners did not even know if they got good results, or any results at all, from their hard earned dollars.

The style of marketing that is used today is much more user friendly and generally the public is much more accepting of a lesser standard of marketing from a small business owner. I am not saying that it can be bad, but if there are a few small gliches with grammar or presentation, customers will not be too offended.
