I help local businesses get more customers
Local guerrilla marketing at small-business prices, for shops in Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas and the rest of Southern Nevada. Veteran-owned, and it's just me.
You're good at what you do. The trouble is usually one of three things: people can't find you, they find you but don't get in touch, or they come once and forget about you. I fix the part that's costing you customers. A website is one tool. So are your Google listing, your reviews, a holiday promo, a sign in the window and the messages you never get to. You approve everything first.

New this month: know a local shop you'd hate to lose? Nominate them for the Small Business Makeover (Nov 2–16).
No contracts. I can't promise rankings or sales, and nobody honestly can. I promise the work, and I show you what changed.
Where are you losing customers?
People can't find you
Wrong hours on Google, missing photos, the wrong category. People pick the shop down the street instead.
They find you but don't reach out
Your site is hard to use on a phone, or nobody answers the messages. They give up and call someone else.
Customers don't come back
This is guerrilla marketing, which just means clever, low-cost ideas that get people through your door: a secret word in the window, a holiday pack, a small perk with a set reward. No big ad budget needed.
The monthly customer email comes with the foot-traffic kit and the Local marketing bundle. It only goes to people who asked for it.
Printing for cards, flyers and signs is quoted on request, through online trade printers. Free tools: make a secret word sign.
Ideas I can set up around town
New ideas for your storefront, set up for you.
- A window offer people ask about. Something in your window that gets people walking in to ask about it.
- A holiday promo, ready before the rush. Your holiday offer on paper, online and at the counter, all saying the same thing.
- More of your happy customers leaving reviews. An easy way for them to say something nice on Google while they're still in the shop.
- Your offer seen twice. The same deal on your Google listing and on your door, so it sticks.

What I measure, so you can judge me
I work the Kaizen way, a Japanese word for small improvements, made every month and measured. Each month you get a one-page before and after. No promises about results, just numbers you can check yourself.
If the numbers don't move, I'll tell you, and you can stop.
Start small, for free
You don't have to buy a website to see how I work. Most owners start with one of these.
I confirm every price in writing before I start. Nothing is charged until you approve it.
If you've run your shop here for years
You've probably been burned by someone selling "marketing." Here's how I work instead.
- Local and veteran-owned. I'm Sam Miklosko, a Marine veteran. I live in Boulder City, not in some office out of state.
- Plain talk. No jargon and no long proposals. You get a written price before any work starts.
- You own it. Your domain stays in your name, and your Google listing stays yours. I'm added as a manager, and you can remove me any time.
- I keep it personal. Monthly clients get their area to themselves, and I won't take on a direct competitor nearby while you're with me. (One-time jobs aren't included.) Your ideas and numbers always stay private.
- No contracts. Monthly plans are month to month, so you can stop any month.
- See it before you pay. For a new site you get a free sample first.
- Honest samples. The work below is labelled for what it is: samples I made on my own, not client projects.
Nothing goes up on your site, your listing or your window without your OK.
Work I've done
These are sample redesigns I made on my own for local shops, built only from their public info, to show what I'd do. They aren't paid client projects, and the businesses didn't ask for them or sign off on them. Real client work goes here as it comes in.
Iron Rose
Plant and vintage shop on Nevada Way, Boulder City. Hours, address and phone on the first phone screen, plus a printable window sign with a secret word.
Start here, it's my favorite.
Silver State Stitch
Quilt shop in Boulder City. The Arizona Street address and hours up top, classes and clubs, longarm quilting, and a window sign.
Las Vegas Kettle Corn
Kettle corn on Water Street in Henderson. Flavors, hours, booking for events, an events list for upcoming dates, and a window sign.Earlier samples: Dam Roast House & Browder Bookstore (coffee and books, Boulder City) · Antique Alley Mall (antiques, Las Vegas Arts District) · Frank's Barber Shop (Boulder City). No logos or photos from any of these businesses are used.
Send me a message
Tell me a little about your business and I'll get back to you, usually within a day. Prefer to talk? Pick a phone call in the form and I'll set up a time.
Or email hello@iservedyou.com
What happens next: I read your message, reply with questions or a sample, and send a written price before any work starts. Nothing is charged until you approve it.
