What does a former Las Vegas showgirl know about marketing on a budget? As it turns out, quite a lot. Kristen Corral joins us to share her remarkable journey from entertainment to entrepreneurship, revealing how she built multiple successful businesses—including seven restaurants—using creative marketing strategies that cost next to nothing.
Kristen pulls back the curtain on her powerful community partnership model that drives revenue while making a positive impact. Rather than simply writing checks to charities, she creates structured collaborations with clear deliverables that benefit both organizations. Her current partnership with Nevada SPCA features a massive Mexican pizza special at her plant-based restaurant chain Tacotarian, driving two audiences to one location while supporting animal welfare.
The marketing gems in this episode are both surprising and immediately actionable. Kristen explains how she uses AI as a dedicated PR assistant (saving $7,000 monthly), optimizes Google Business profiles in ways most owners overlook, and secures regular local media coverage through strategic, unselfish pitching. Her approach to blogging uses customer questions as content fuel, positioning her businesses as authoritative resources in their industries.
What makes Kristen's advice so valuable is that she's implemented these tactics herself, scaling her first business—a dog walking service—to six figures with zero marketing budget. Now with a TEDx talk under her belt and a growing restaurant empire, her practical wisdom proves that effective marketing isn't about spending more—it's about thinking strategically and leveraging resources creatively.
