Banker and Brisebois (B&B), a retail marketing and communications firm, recently announced the launch of The Marketing Marketplace, its online subscription service with downloadable, customizable, professionally designed marketing campaigns for budget-conscious furniture retailers.
“Our goal is to level the playing field, helping small and mid-sized retailers identify and elevate their competitive edge. The Marketing Marketplace is a user-friendly, all-in resource created to strengthen marketing messages, design, and campaigns – all at an affordable price,” said

B&B completed a pilot program to test The Marketplace with some of their current retail customers in June and July 2020. Feedback highlights B&B’s professionalism, creativity, and understanding of retail needs, as well as ease of use within The Marketplace. Two reviews:
“The new Marketplace campaigns look great, and the messaging is spot on for today’s retail environment. It’s not just the same old stuff, which really helps me stand out in my market. I love having all the different advertising elements pre-built, as it makes coordinating my messaging easier than ever.”
Colleen Schaffner, Director of Advertising
Smith Village Home Furnishings, Pennsylvania
“The Marketplace is what I’ve been looking for. The comprehensive assets make all my advertising say the same thing at the same time. The team at B&B is super responsive to my needs and
always asking the right questions to make sure every advertising dollar is a wise investment.
Add to that the great pricing and the friendly staff, and I wonder how I ever did it without them.”
Dave Carlson, President & Co-Owner Carlson’s Furniture, Oregon
The Marketing Marketplace: How It Works
Backed by B&B’s Marketplace Planner, a customized planning calendar tailored to each subscriber’s business needs, marketing campaigns can be built in just a few steps:
- Search a wide variety of ready-to-go campaigns in The Marketplace library
- Choose customizable campaign graphics, available as a package or individual files
- Download art files already sized to industry standards for immediate use
Anticipating questions from first-timers, B&B has set up a live chat tool, toll-free number, and email message form to ensure fast and friendly customer service.
Big Impact on a Small Budget
B&B offers three subscription packages for The Marketplace, covering a customized Marketplace Planner, strategy sessions, campaign downloads, development of custom campaigns, and special discounts on all other marketing services for furniture retailers looking to expand beyond the subscription service. Additionally, all packages include the first 30 days at no charge with no contract requirements and a 10 percent discount for upfront annual payments. See more details below.
