Marketing Matters
PREPARING YOUR MARKETING STRATEGY FOR 2025 & WHY IT MATTERS
As we approach the end of another eventful year, it’s time for Canton Chamber members to re ect on their marketing e orts and prepare for the opportunities in 2025. At UB Advertising, we believe that data-driven decision-making, continual development opportunities for your team, and actively using a customer-centric approach throughout your business are key factors to include when developing and implementing your marketing strategy and will set you up for long-term success.
EVALUATING YOUR 2024 PERFORMANCE
Before diving into upcoming marketing trends, it’s crucial to assess your current marketing initiatives:
1. Analyze Your Data: Review your 2024 marketing analytics, including website tra c, social media engagement, email open rates, and conversion metrics. This data provides valuable insights into what worked and what didn’t.
2. Customer Feedback: Examine customer surveys, reviews, and feedback to understand their evolving needs and preferences.
3. ROI Assessment: Calculate the return on investment for each marketing channel to identify the most e ective platforms for your business.
MARKETING TRENDS TO WATCH IN 2025
As we look towards 2025, several trends are emerging that Canton Chamber members should consider incorporating into their marketing strategies:
1. AI-Powered Personalization: Arti cial Intelligence will play a signi cant role in creating hyper-personalized customer experiences. Consider implementing AI tools for data analysis and content creation to enhance your marketing e orts.
2. Video Content: Short-form video content will continue to rise in popularity. While we know many cringe at being in front of a camera (ourselves included) or starting on a new social media platform can be frustrating at rst, exploring what platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels o er is important in connecting with your audience where they are and with the formats they may prefer.
3. Voice and Visual Search Optimization: With the growing use of voice-activated devices and image recognition technology, optimize your content for voice and visual searches to improve discoverability.
Helpful tips: An example of voice search optimization would be adding conversational content that matches how people speak out loud to devices. Such phrases may include “What’s the best way to...” or “How do I...” in your content. You do not need to include “Hey Siri” or “Hey Google,” as that’s just weird.
For visual searches, use high-quality images in di erent angles or contexts, and use descriptive alt text and lenames that describe the image using relevant keywords, like “vegan-friendly-darkchocolate-mocha.jpg” vs. “img001.jpg”.
PREPARING YOUR 2025 MARKETING STRATEGY
To leverage these trends e ectively:
1. Set Clear Objectives: Remember to think SMART. De ne speci c, measurable goals for your 2025 marketing initiatives that align with your overall business objectives.
2. Invest in the Right Tools: Evaluate and invest in marketing technologies that can help you automate processes, analyze data, and create more personalized customer experiences.
3. Upskill Your Team: Ensure your marketing team is trained in the latest digital marketing techniques and technologies to stay competitive.
4. Embrace Agility: Be prepared to adapt your strategies quickly as new trends emerge or market conditions change. Have a plan, but be exible.
5. Collaborate and Network: Leverage the Canton Chamber’s networking opportunities to learn from peers and explore potential collaborations that can boost your marketing e orts.
As the year wraps up, the Chamber’s “Do More In 2024” theme comes to mind. May we suggest you carry that mantra into the new year, hmm... maybe “Strive to Thrive in 2025!”?

How to Create a Business Plan That Will Help You
Get a Loan for Your Small Business
Starting a new business is exciting, but if you’re looking for a loan to fund it, you’ll need to convince the bank that your business has a good chance of success. The best way to do that is by making a solid business plan. A good plan shows the bank that you’re serious, have done your homework, and know how you’ll make your business grow and be pro table.
1. Why a Business Plan Matters for Getting a Loan
A business plan is a document that outlines what your business does, how it will make money, and why it’s likely to succeed. For a bank, a business plan shows that you’ve thought through the details and have a realistic path forward. They want to see that:
•You have a clear idea of what your business will do.
•You know who your customers are and why they’d buy from you.
•You’ve made nancial plans and understand the risks.
When your plan covers all these areas, it’s easier for the bank to trust that your business has a good chance of doing well and that you’ll be able to pay back the loan.
2. Start with a Simple Summary
The executive summary is a short section at the beginning of your business plan that gives an overview of what’s in the rest of the document. This summary should:
•Explain what your business is and who it serves.
•Describe why your business idea is unique or special.
•Highlight your nancial goals and how much funding you’re asking for.
•Provide a quick overview of how you plan to make money and grow.
This summary is the rst thing a bank will read, so keep it short, clear, and engaging.
3. Describe Your Business and the Market You’re Entering
Banks need to understand what your business does and where it ts in the market. In this section, give details like:
•Business Structure: Are you the only owner, or do you have partners? Are you registered as an LLC or a corp?
•Products and Services: What will you be selling, and why do people need it?
•Industry Overview: What is the overall outlook for your industry? For example, is it growing, or are there new trends that could bene t your business?
•Target Market: Describe your ideal customers and why they’re likely to buy from you.
By laying out these details, you help the bank see that you understand the market and know who will be buying from you.
4. Do Some Basic Market Research
This section is where you show the bank that you know the size and potential of your market. You should include:
•Market Size: Estimate how many people or businesses are likely to buy your product or service.
•Competition: List some of your main competitors and explain how you’re di erent from them.
•Trends and Opportunities: If there are any trends in your industry, explain how your business will take advantage of them.
•Customer Segments: Describe the types of customers you’ll focus on. Are they young adults, families, businesses?
Showing the bank that you’ve researched your market can make them feel more condent that there’s demand for what you’re selling.
5. Outline Your Marketing Plan
Your marketing plan explains how you’ll reach your customers and convince them to buy from you. This is essential because banks want to know that you have a solid plan for bringing in sales. Here’s what to include:
• Pricing Strategy: Explain why you chose your prices and how they compare to competitors.
•Sales Strategy: Describe how you plan to sell your product or service, whether through online sales, direct outreach, or a retail store.
•Promotion Strategy: Outline how you’ll promote your business—through social media, ads, or community events
•Branding: Describe how you want people to see your business
Your marketing plan should give the bank con dence that you know how to attract customers and make sales.
6.
Explain Your Team and Business Structure
Banks want to know who’s running the business and what experience you and your team bring to the table. This section should include:
•Ownership Structure: Explain who owns the business and how much of it
•Management Team: Highlight the skills and experience of key team members.
•Sta ng Needs: If you’ll need to hire additional sta in the future
Showing that you have a strong team with relevant experience will make the bank more con dent that you can manage the business well.
7. Lay Out Your Financial
Plan and Funding Needs
The nancial plan is one of the most important parts of your business plan, especially for banks. They need to see that you understand your nances and that your expectations are realistic. This section should include:
•Funding Request: State exactly how much money you’re asking for, how you’ll use it, and why it’s necessary.
•Projected Income Statement: Show what you expect to earn, what your costs will be, and how much pro t you anticipate over the next few years.
•Cash Flow Statement: This shows the cash coming in and out of your business so that the bank can see you’ll have enough to cover expenses.
•Balance Sheet: Provide a summary of your assets and liabilities to give an overall picture of nancial health.
•Break-Even Analysis: Show the point where your revenue will cover all your costs
With clear and realistic nancial projections, you demonstrate to the bank that you have a good handle on your business’s nances.
8.
Address Possible Risks and Your Plans to Manage Them
Every business has risks, and banks know this. However, they appreciate it when you show awareness of those risks and have a plan to handle them. Identify potential risks (like competition or changes in the economy) and explain how you’ll deal with each.
Final Thoughts
Creating a business plan that appeals to a bank doesn’t have to be intimidating. By following these steps, you’ll end up with a plan that not only helps you understand your own business better but also shows the bank that you’re prepared, realistic, and committed.

Cost containment in Ohio workers’ comp
As most employers know, the financial and emotional impact of a work-related employee injury can be significant. While the primary goal is to ensure the injured worker receives appropriate care, minimizing the costs associated with the accident should also be a focus for employers.
In Ohio, there are three primary cost containment options for employers – Settlement, Disability Relief and Subrogation/No Fault Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA). Sedgwick is the industry leader in successfully employing these options.
We utilize leading measures and predictive cost containment to help Ohio employers contain costs and reduce premiums. When a claim occurs, Sedgwick is ready to apply cost containment strategies to quickly resolve the claim, resulting in cost savings for the employer.
Sedgwick has a dedicated cost containment team that solely focuses on achieving significant cost savings for our clients through Settlements, Disability Relief and Subrogation. Our efforts have resulted in substantial cost reductions for not only the individual employer, but for all employers participating in group retrospective rating.
Settlements - A settlement is an agreement between an employer, injured worker and the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) for a lump sum payment to the injured worker in exchange for a full or partial claim closure.
Disability Relief - Disability Relief is a program encouraging employers to hire and retain workers with pre-existing medical conditions. Under the program, an employer may file for reimbursement on certain workers’ compensation claims, if it can be proven a disability condition(s) led to the injury or delayed the healing process.
Subrogation/MVA - In lieu of traditional subrogation, the Ohio BWC assigns the entire cost of the claim to the surplus fund if the employer can establish the claim is based on a motor vehicle accident involving a third party.
Sedgwick is honored to partner with all clients on successfully managing their workers’ compensation programs. Early, proactive cost containment approach will continue to be an ongoing priority toward achieving the best outcomes for our clients and their injured workers.
If you have any questions, contact our Sedgwick program manager, Dominic Potina, at 614-813-6754 or dominic.potina@sedgwick.com

That’s why we’re pleased to welcome to our team Jeff Snyder, SVP, market leader, as he brings extensive experience supporting Canton area small businesses.
Young Trucks is excited to announce the groundbreaking of a new Freightliner dealership and parts distribution center in Canton, Ohio. This new 65,000-square-foot heavy-duty truck dealership, located at the corner of Route 30 and Whipple Avenue, will sit on 28 acres and feature a commercial truck wash.
The new facility will welcome approximately 80 employees from the current dealership on Southway Avenue in Canton. The expansion will also create approximately 20 new jobs, underscoring Young Trucks’ commitment to growth and service excellence.
Young Trucks president Ryan Young expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “The future dealership will feature the Freightliner brand and offer modern operations, spaces, and amenities for our customers and team members. We’re gaining capacity and efficiencies over our current facility and can serve more customers in less time.”
Young also recognized several organizations and government officials, including Canton Township and the Stark County Commissioners Office, for helping the company reach this significant
BIZ Bitz
milestone. “We’re grateful for the support from the community and our partners. This new facility represents not just an investment in our business but also the region’s economy,” Young added.
Construction, already underway and managed by HDGB Construction Managers, is expected to be completed by early 2026. S L Harris Day Architecture led the project’s planning and architectural design, while Putnam Properties was key in securing the necessary properties for the build. The construction team includes Cavanagh Building Corporation, St Clair Pavlis Group, Beaver Constructors Inc., Crown Group Ohio, OD Miller Electric, SA Comunale Co. Inc., and Vasco Asphalt Co. Financing was provided by Premier Bank.
This groundbreaking comes as Young Trucks celebrates its 70th year in business with the fourth generation of the Young family, marking a significant milestone in its long-standing commitment to the trucking industry and the communities it serves.

The Canton Regional Chamber ofCommerce andAultCare have partnered together to o er a healthcare plan for the small business community through a Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA). The MEWA was developed to provide additional options and to help control the costs of healthcare bene ts. Medically underwritten MEWA rates may provide a less expensive option than a smaller community rated plan obtained under the A ordable Care Act (ACA). This plan is available for small group employers with less than 50 employees.
