Are you having a hard time reading this? So are your customers.

That's what our graphic says, in case you had trouble reading it!

The light blue text on a light blue background is an example of poor color contrast. It might seem like a small design choice, but it can make a website difficult to use, especially for people with visual impairments.

Now imagine that hard-to-read text is your restaurant's menu, your business hours, your location, or a list of your services.

If someone can't read the information they're looking for, they may simply move on. And you might never know you missed an opportunity.

Website accessibility isn't just about meeting legal requirements. It's about making sure everyone can use your website.

At Mile Up, we offer website accessibility reviews to help identify issues like this and others you might not even know exist. Depending on how your website was built, we may also be able to help make the necessary changes.

Take another look at your website. Is it as easy for everyone else to use as it is for you?

Good luck to the Lead-Deadwood Golddiggers as they head to Buffalo tonight to take on Harding County! 🏈

We'd love to see a little more school spirit around Lead and Deadwood, and we figure there's no better place to start than with our local businesses!

These kids work hard, and it would be great to see more maroon and gold around town showing them that we're behind them. Even if it's just a GO DIGGERS! sign in the window or a quick post wishing them luck, it all adds up.

Go Diggers! 💛❤️

This one has been a long time coming!

After months of meetings, emails, phone calls, brainstorming, problem solving and bringing a whole lot of moving pieces together, Tyres 2 U is officially live.

We’ve been lucky enough to be part of this project from the early stages, starting with the logo and branding and then helping with content, ideas and coordinating between all of the different people and companies involved in getting Tyres 2 U off the ground.

We didn’t build the website, but we’ve definitely spent a whole lot of time behind the scenes helping everything come together. And honestly, it’s been a really fun project to be part of.

The whole idea behind Tyres 2 U is simple: Tire buying made easy. Enter your vehicle, see the tires that fit, and narrow it down with Value, Good, Better and Best options without having to sort through a million choices and figure it all out yourself.

We’re pretty darn excited to finally be able to share it.

Go check it out. And if you need tires, even better... buy some! 🙂

When Wendy Pitlick came to us a couple of months ago, Hope's Kitchen had just opened its doors. She had a big mission and needed a website fast so people could learn about the organization, volunteer, donate, and find the resources they needed.

The best part? Wendy came prepared. As a journalist and photographer, she had the words, photos, and videos ready to go, which made the process smooth from start to finish. (Trust us...that's often the hardest part!)

Hope's Kitchen is working to address food insecurity in the Lead-Deadwood area, and we're proud to have played a small role in helping Wendy share that mission with our community.

Take a look at the finished website and learn more about the incredible work they're doing:

Thank you, Wendy, for caring so deeply about our community. It was a pleasure working with you. The next FREE dinner at the CMC in Lead is August 22nd. All are welcome.

Hope's Kitchen provides free, made-from-scratch community meals for people in the Lead-Deadwood area, welcoming everyone with dignity, compassion, and hope.

A fun project we recently had the chance to be part of!

While the video production belongs to Adam Libby and Libby Productions, we created the "Bull Riding 101" chalkboard graphics that were added throughout the video. It will be shown as part of The Cowboy Tour on the East Coast as they introduce new audiences to the Cowboy Man vs. Beast event.
We've enjoyed working with Adam for years on projects throughout the rodeo and PBR world. If you need graphics, motion elements, or creative additions to your videos, we'd love to help.

We had the opportunity to design another vehicle wrap for the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, and we love how this one turned out. This Mustang started out white and was redesigned to match their other awareness race car.

Huge thanks to Quik Signs in Spearfish for an incredible install. They knocked it out of the park.

The National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation does amazing work to support patients and families while raising awareness. We’re proud to have played a small part in helping spread that message.

Thanks Rhonda and Trevor for letting us be a part of your incredible initiative 💜

We are proud to have helped the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation with the graphics for their trade show booth. It's always fun seeing our designs out in the real world, especially when they're helping support such an important cause.
If you are in need of a trade show booth, banners, displays, or other event graphics, we would be happy to help.

What goes better with a new space better than a new sign?! This makes it offical, right?

Thank you Quik Signs for printing and Rushmore Signs & Service for the install.

Ten years.

When we started Mile Up Marketing Solutions in 2016 (officially June 6, 2016), we didn't have some grand master plan. We just knew we wanted to help small business. We wanted to be approachable, affordable, and knowledgeable so any business owner could seek help.

Looking back at where we started, working evenings after our full-time jobs, to now having a beautiful office with room to grow is pretty incredible.

Over the last 10 years, we've celebrated launches, watched businesses grow, helped nonprofits further their missions, worked with communities we care deeply about, and built relationships that mean far more to us than any project ever could. Many have turned from "customer" to "friend". We learned it's important to meet our customers where they are and do what we can to help share their message.

To every client, partner, friend, and supporter who has been part of this journey, thank you. Whether you've been with us for 10 years or 10 days, you've helped shape Mile Up Marketing into what it is today.

We're incredibly grateful for the first decade and excited to see what the next one brings.

Thank you for being part of our story.

BIG NEWS: Mile Up Marketing is moving!

After 7 years in the Lotus Up Espresso & Deli building, it’s time for our next chapter.

When we first moved into Jamie’s building seven years ago, we were just looking for a creative space to call home, and she welcomed us with open arms. As our business grew, Jamie literally made room for us, expanding our office into her dining room so we could continue growing for another three years in what became a pretty perfect little space for our team, and our plants!!

We are incredibly grateful to Jamie at Lotus Up for everything she’s done for us over the years. Small businesses supporting small businesses is a real thing, and the reason we started Mile Up Marketing, and Jamie has been a huge part of our story.

Now, as the Lotus Up building moves toward a different future, so are we.

This move gives us the opportunity to grow alongside our business, create a larger, welcoming space for customers, and maybe even bring on more help as Mile Up continues to grow (which still feels wild to say out loud).

Starting June 1, our office will officially be relocating just one block away at 201 W Main Street! While we get settled in, signage and building access will be a work in progress, so for now, please reach out by phone or email to set up a time to stop by.

We’ll keep everyone updated as we get things finalized, and we can’t wait to show you the new space soon.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our lmarketing company. We truly wouldn’t be here without you.
