Marketing That Works -

This workshop is designed to give participants a comprehensive introduction to marketing - The session strips marketing back to its fundamentals and shows attendees how to apply them straight away in their own business.

Agenda:

Foundations, the three building blocks

Message that speaks directly to their problem, not just a description of what you sell, plus a strong reason to choose you over anyone else, including doing nothing.

Media

Choosing the right channels out of the many available and focusing on a small number at a time rather than spreading too thin.

The 7 Marketing Rules

The core rules behind marketing that converts, including always having an offer, giving people a reason to act now, giving clear instructions on how to respond, tracking and measuring results, following up properly, using strong copy, and letting results lead the way.

The Game Changer

Quick Wins

Practical, fast actions attendees can take straight away, including setting up a reviews system, using tiered pricing, sending a simple reactivation email, and optimising a Google Business Profile.

Nurturing Your Leads

Hosted by Mia Dooley of Business Klarity.
