Meet Your Strategic Partner in Business Growth

Hi, I’m Mandie Kramer — a former Michigan teacher turned entrepreneur with a passion for helping businesses build real, lasting relationships with their customers.

 

Over the years, I’ve built a career around supporting businesses with content creation and understanding what drives customer behavior.

 

When you work with me, you get more than an amazing newsletter that boosts your revenue — you get a strategic coach that dives into the data and helps you stay innovative and fresh.

 

I help you see the big picture but can also roll up my sleeves to create the tech stack, the content, and the systems needed to take you all the way to success!

There are 3 main stages of
Marketing

Stage 1:

Build a Foundation

Get the right tools in place and shift your mindset so you’re set up for success from the very first email.

Stage 2:
Ignite and Engage

Start fresh or re-engage your audience with simple, story-driven messaging that drive action.

Stage 3:

Automate & Innovate

Build consistency with a rhythm that works for you and explore creative ways to keep customers coming back.

You can do this yourself
or partner with mandie

Either way, if you run a business, marketing is a non-negotiable.

 

With our Growth Partnership Packages, you can skip the DIY headaches, save time, and leverage our exclusive method to captivate and educate your audience.

 

Perfect for busy business owners who have a marketing budget, been wanting to get a better handle on their business growth and marketing, and are very short on time.

 💞 Testimonials 💞

"I honestly can’t recommend Mandie and Trailforge Marketing enough. From the very start, she completely captured the feel of my brand; the tone, the humour, the warmth — everything I’d hoped people might one day see in my work, she understood straight away. I only gave her a few vague ideas about my colours and style to build my branding from, but she came back with a newsletter and landing page that felt exactly like me, from the images to the little details in the writing that made me smile, it was what I had started to imagine but she took it to the next level. When I first read the newsletter, I actually laughed and thought, “This sounds brilliant, but surely this isn’t me?” Except it was. Mandie saw past my own self-doubt and managed to write about my glasswork in a way that made me believe in it again. She made it sound exciting and genuine and, somehow, completely natural. It’s like she reached into my head, found the best bits, and brought them to life. The branding and visuals she created were spot on. Everything looked so professional and cohesive that I didn’t want to change a single thing. My friends and family were amazed when I showed them. They said it felt so naturally “me” that they didn’t even realise I’d had help. ​ Working with Mandie was an absolute joy. She made me feel comfortable from the start, like we’d known each other for years, and her suggestions were so thoughtful and easy to follow that I felt silly for not doing them sooner. She’s helped me find my confidence again and reminded me why I love what I do. If you’re thinking about working with her, do it, do it now, you should have done it yesterday. She’s incredible, and she’ll make you see your work in a whole new light." Eleanor | Glass Artist

"Trailforge Marketing has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Mandie Kramer is the real deal — strategic, creative, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success. She doesn’t just “do marketing”; she takes the time to understand your business, your goals, and your market, then builds a clear, executable plan that actually delivers results. Mandie brings structure, accountability, and fresh ideas that move the needle. Communication is excellent, timelines are met, and the quality of work consistently exceeds expectations. It’s rare to find a marketing partner who combines big-picture strategy with hands-on execution the way Trailforge does. If you’re looking for a marketing team you can trust—one that feels like an extension of your own company — Trailforge Marketing and Mandie Kramer are top-tier. Highly recommend." - Gary | Business Owner

"Working with Mandie Kramer has been an absolute game-changer for us during the lead-up to our Fashion for a Cause – Holiday High Tea & Fashion Show. We were facing a real challenge: a largely inactive email list and a short timeframe to inspire ticket purchases. Mandie jumped in with fresh energy, a clear strategy, and a true understanding of what we were trying to accomplish. She created and executed several beautifully written, engaging e-blasts that sounded like us — our heart, our mission, and our voice. Her work genuinely helped wake up a sleepy email audience and turn that renewed engagement into ticket sales, helping make the event a success. What I appreciated most was her responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to blend creativity with strategy. She didn’t just “send emails”; she helped us tell our story in a way that connected and inspired action. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands email marketing and cares about your success as much as you do, I can’t recommend Mandie enough." Annalise | Boutique Owner
