I’m a Marketing Student Studying How Local Businesses Actually Grow
ATTENTION Upstate NY!
I’m doing a hands-on research project where I interview business owners, study their marketing, and share ideas that help them grow - free of charge.
Why are you doing this?
Studying Real Marketing
Most marketing students read case studies from giant companies with millions of dollars in ad spend.
I wanted to learn what actually drives results for real local businesses.
Local Businesses Deserve More
So many small businesses waste money on cookie-cutter marketing that doesn’t work.
I’m using this project to uncover what actually gets results - and share those lessons so owners don’t get burned again.
I Learn Through Helping
The best way to understanding marketing is to do it for real people.
Every business I talk to teaches me something new - and I use that to give back ideas that might help them grow faster.
What You’re Probably Thinking Right Now…
“Is this some kind of sales pitch?”
Totally fair question. It’s not.
I’m not an agency, I’m a marketing student running a research project.
I talk to local business owners, study what’s working for them, and share ideas they can test for free.
You’re not being sold to, you’re helping me learn.
“I don’t really have time for this”
I get it. You’re running a business, not sitting around waiting for marketing students to email you.
That’s why I keep every chat short. Usually 10 to 15 minutes, max.
You’ll get a few quick insights or marketing ideas based on what I’m studying, and that’s it.
Most business owners say it’s the most refreshing “marketing talk” they’ve ever had.
“So what’s in it for me?”
Every conversation ends up being a little brainstorm.
You get outside perspective, free marketing ideas, and sometimes I’ll feature your business in my project (if you’re cool with it).
I learn from your experience. You might walk away with a few ideas worth testing. Simple as that.
Who Am I?
Hussain Nazar
I’m 17, and I’ve always been obsessed with figuring out what makes people pay attention.
Instead of waiting for college to teach me marketing, I decided to learn it the real way. I talk to business owners, run small experiments, and see what actually works.
This project is me learning by doing, one conversation at a time.
