Webinar for ALL Members (Including YOU)
Hey,
Are you tired of cheesy or exploitative holiday marketing? Is the "door-buster Black Friday cut-throat sale" not a good fit for your business?
Get into the holiday spirit with promotions that you can feel good about and your clients will love!
Join me on Thursday for our October marketing webinar: Profitable Holiday Marketing Strategies. I will be LIVE from 10-11 AM Pacific with a slide show, notes and answers to your questions. There is NO CHARGE for members, and just $25 for non-members. Just login to the website to register as a member.
We're going to talk about:
how to do holiday marketing without being cheesy
the perfect marketing strategy for the holidays
a simple signature promotion you can do year after year
YES, all members are welcome.
YES, that means YOU.
YES, this will be recorded (both audio and video) and posted in the Marketing Classes section of the Members Only area on this page: Holiday Marketing Strategies
YES, everyone who registers for this webinar will get the audio, video, notes and slides.
But why not hear it live, and be there to ask your questions?
The first of three classes in our networking series happens on Wednesday! Networking for Newbies is the beginner level class, but don't let that fool you. Even experts say they've learned something new, and so can you.
As a member, you are on the guest list. Register so you get a confirmation and reminder. You may also put a friend on the guest list if you'd like to introduce another business owner to the DIY.
Fair warning: I can't guarantee that this series will be available in the coming year. Now is a very good time to take this class.
Our tenth annual members-only conference happens this week!
Here are five things you will love about this event:
1. The agenda: What triggers prosperity and profitability? We will examine mindset, money, modeling, image and magic in presentations and exercises. You'll get practical ideas that you'll want to put in place immediately.
Breakout sessions featuring the expertise of selected DIY members to amplify your experience.
2. The location: We will spend two days at the comfortable McMenamins' Kennedy School. This quirky space is perfect for inspired thinking with no worries or distractions.
2.5. Parking: Convenient all-day off-street parking at no extra charge.
3. Lunch: Delicious, nourishing lunches, prepared in a buffet style for you. You'll enjoy a variety of flavors, with sugar- and gluten-free options available.
4. Environment: Our classroom, where most of our activities happen, is charming and inviting. Everyone gets a great seat and a window view! There are also other spaces to explore when we need a break from the crowd.
5. Clarity: This is a time to focus on you and your business, what you want, and some very interesting ways to get it. You'll be in a safe space with like-minded members, so you can relax into the experience. Absorb and accept insights and motivation that will inspire you to new levels of success. This is the time to get crystal clear on your next steps.
Full disclosure: I've spent so much time preparing for the experience that I didn't promote it much. That means there are still a couple of seats left, so there is room for you.

I'm constantly impressed with the content and value that Ronnie delivers. Whether you are new to business - or advanced, she speaks to every level." ~ Holly Stokes, DIY member

"I wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you for all your advice on the call this morning. I feel very blessed to have you in my life and on my team with all your brilliant ideas and support. Thanks for being you. And, thanks for collecting such amazing people into the SOHO community. It really is inspiring to listen to and to be around people who are walking the walk and getting things done." ~Connie Dorigan, CPC, www.dorigan.com

"I enjoy and appreciate all the attention and the direction of the new Marketing Mastermind. I notice your added energy and focus and find value in it. Hearing the same things in different ways allows the information to integrate more fully. After listening to you, I am ever more understanding of the dance between listening and sharing. When you speak, there is the intertwining of your years of experience. I am gradually learning the various pieces that you put together so skillfully and gracefully. Then you top it off with your powerful strength of ideation." ~ Caron MacLane, Circle Coach & Consultant, www.CaronCircleCC.com

"I just finished my marketing plan. I can't believe how easy it was after your class...I can't believe I actually have a marketing plan put together. Good gracious, I'd read quite a few marketing books and took notes, but then all I had was a computer file with a lot of notes. Now, after your one-hour class--and the Friday deadline--I actually wrote it down and even went through some of those notes while I did it. Wow. I can't believe I did it! Thanks so much, Ronnie. You're terrific!" ~Julie McDonald Zander, Chapters of Life Memory Books, www.chaptersoflife.com
