Small Business Casual
Where small business meets your favorite pair of slippers.
A little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.
Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing sustainable, cozy, and thriving businesses tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!
From general business and marketing to making sense of the behind-the-scenes chaos, I’m Emily Aborn, your host and Small Business Copywriter!
I’m here to walk alongside you as we make running our businesses less of a roller coaster and more like a scenic train ride (don't forget the snacks!).

Just Say "No" to Bro Marketing
Aggressive, manipulative, disingenuous marketing that prioritizes quick wins and profit over authentic connection and value is OUT.
Cozy, human-centered, ethical, kind marketing is IN!
In this episode, we break down the concept of "bro-marketing" as I help you steer clear of the obvious (and not so obvious) versions I see business owners tempted to try.
Scarcity tactics, pain points, one-size-fits-all solutions and formulas, clickbait, disguises, inflation, and endless pestering... we'll get into it all!
In this episode:
- What is "bro marketing"?
- What are some examples of bro marketing/sheisty marketing?
- What to do instead of sleazy marketing tactics
- Invitation for your own marketing review
- And more!
