"Stephen Rinaldo was recommended to me by a teacher at a web marketing course, who had used Stephen's services and was very impressed with the results that he had gained for him.
Stephen was contracted by Buttai Barn to create a new image, which included designing a new website and logo, organizing a facebook page, creating radio and TV commercials, and overseeing production of our T.V commercial, including sourcing talent as well as negotiating with NBN sales personnel to obtain the best possible advertising rates.
The result of Stephen's expertise has been a remarkable turn-around of our Saturday night trade by increasing sales by 100% on most nights, compared to 2010 figures and great forward bookings for Christmas functions as well. Our new website has generated many more enquiries than our old one ever created and we can capture these enquiries for our data base for future marketing opportunities. One of the things that really impressed me about Stephen, was his absolute integrity in passing on savings that he had secured in advertising rates and in not insisting that we continue to use his services once his job was completed.
Gary and I were very impressed with Stephen's friendly, professional approach to changing our image and dragging us out of our complacency regarding building our business. This man knows marketing!"
Marilyn Maddison, Buttai Barn

"To say our business was in need of a makeover is somewhat of an understatement. Our brand had become tired & boring and our business had become just like every other competitor. It was that this point that we approached Stephen from Rubicon Retail who promptly met with us and gave us an honest and thorough analysis of our brand. From there we were presented with a complete brand makeover that has enabled us to lift our business above our competitors. We found the entire process simple, motivating and extremely affordable. Rubicon Retail continues to assist us in our marketing needs and we highly recommend Stephen and his team."
Glenda Watts - Director, Hobby Hampers Australia

"Stephen was retained by our company to assist us in gaining clarity around our marketing goals, help us introduce best practice advertising and promotions principles and work on a specific campaign for a unique product line that we manufacture, Sharkskin. Stephen was able to review our current practices and show us how we could get more effective results for our marketing spend. He successfully took the Sharkskin campaign from concept all the way through to final delivery, which included a purpose designed website, in-store promotional material, POP display and a teaser campaign that had real impact and which translated directly into increased sales and brand recognition."
Mark Welsh, Managing Director, Aquanaut

"Stephen was one of those great discoveries you make every now and then. He is an ideas person who talks plain English which made it easy to have him review where we thought we were and learn from his research where we really were. This allowed us together to develop strategies which we were able to implement, which keep us in touch with our customers more effectively."
Gail Cottril, Open Shutters

"Stephen's true talent is his ability to look at the business as a whole. Every aspect is evaluated and his strategies combine all facets with one understanding...to make sales. He continually strived for & emphasised the importance of consistency and this was reflected in our advertising, store layouts, promotions, training manuals even down to our uniforms. Stephen created successful campaigns, in particular the innovative and successful three frontmen TVC which became very popular amongst our customers which saw Midas return to its position as market leader."
Alan Rogerson, Midas Australia
