This Friday, Better Mousetrap Marketing wants you to Shut Your Trap, for good.

The Courtenay-based firm is opening its doors next week to offer a series of one-hour marketing consultations, all for a good cause.

With a suggested minimum donation of $50, local business owners can learn how to attract the right customers and 鈥渟hut their traps鈥� with effective marketing. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Pediatrics Wing of St. Joseph鈥檚 Hospital Foundation in Comox.

鈥淲e actually opened our doors for business in May 2010, so we thought this would be the perfect time to celebrate a successful first year and give something back to the community,鈥� said Lisa Henderson, one of the owners at Better Mousetrap Marketing. 鈥淚t gives business owners a fun opportunity to work on their business while supporting an excellent cause.鈥�

As part of the hour-long consultation with Better Mousetrap鈥檚 advisors, business owners will walk away with a marketing calendar and concepts to get them started.
