Building Your Brand
Branding is not about getting your target market to choose you over the competition, but it is about getting your prospects to see you as the only one that provides a solution to their problem. Learn ways to show how a good brand delivers the message clearly, confirms your credibility, connects your target prospects emotionally, motivates the buyer and encourages customer loyalty. You make up your company “brand” as well – learn how to best represent yourself and how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes.
Marketing Strategy
For entrepreneurs, creative thinking can be an important and effective marketing tool. Learning to think outside of the box and to be on the lookout for innovative and cost effective ways to promote your business is the key to success. This session will provide you with word of mouth strategies, marketing trends and ideas to help generate customers and build strategies to grow your business.
Business Planning for Success
The most successful entrepreneurs are those with a clear vision for themselves and their company. Learn strategies to set business goals and to write an effective business plan that will help focus your business and boost its growth. We will look at why we believe our goals are attainable and focus on ways in which we plan to reach those goals.
Sex Up Your Social Media
No we are not saying your social media should be about sex... but sexing up your message can help to create interest in what you have to say. Can you keep your messaging fresh and exciting? Learn ways to create buzz for your brand and communicate in a meaningful and interesting way. The result will likely be an increase in your Twitter, your Facebook and your blog readership.
The Power of PR
Planning your PR strategy will not only help generate new ideas and opportunities for you and your business to shine, it’ll give you peace of mind in your day-to-day operations. Learn the building blocks required to develop an effective public relations campaign. We cover the practical steps you need to take to get your news out to your target market and give you insider knowledge on what the press is looking for.
