winging itYou may wing it successfully: great ad response from your bargain purchase, Facebook fan page on the fly, tweets most days, an article in the chamber newsletter, … it may add up to more orders than you can handle. Good on you.

If that’s not the case and you’re wondering what could possibly be wrong, consider a plan.

  • Discover a step-by-step way to look at marketing that synergizes your efforts. Like a rippling circle in a pond, every action leverages for greater exposure and effect.
  • Experience the satisfaction of a communication foundation and never again throw together a message hoping for the best.
  • Review three critical “M-words” – media, message and market and see how they relate to your sales.
  • Reduce overwhelm with simple, professional do-it-yourself increments customized for your business.

I’ll reveal these strategies and more in my presentation, “From Winging it to Winning Your Market” from 10am – 12noon Friday, January 22, 2010 at the South Valley SBDC, 1304 4th Street SW. Admission is free.
