Today is World Teachers' Day. We should always appreciate our teachers. Not just on this day, but every day! These men and women shape the future of our children. They are more than just teachers. They are educators and mentors. They are patient, dedicated, smart, kind, creative and most of all selfless. I don't think we knew how much until COVID-19. Many of us parents & caretakers have a new found appreciation for how much these women and men do for our children on a daily basis from tying shoes, drying eyes, & working through big growing pains with our little ones. You may not remember all your teachers, but every one has one, two, or a few they will never forget. We are celebrating other days today as well. National Be Nice Day or National Do Something Nice Day, National Child Health Day to name a few. Which in conclusion, all goes back to the teachers. They care for our children! They want what is best for our children. They teach the lessons every single day of being nice, and making healthy choices. These are the super heroes no one recognizes! So, I would like to say, "Thank You!"

Little boys are made of...Well, the old nursery rhyme goes... "Little boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dogs tails." As a mom of 2 very different little boys, this rings so true now more than it did before motherhood. They both love digging in the dirt, learning about critters, and playing with the family dog! They are day and night! One is very outspoken, while the other is reserved. They are both very silly in their own different ways! They bicker just like any other siblings, but they always hug and make up! These 2 little people are my why. Why I keep going every day! Why I strive to always be my best. Some days are better than others...lol Happy National Sons' Day! We love y'all to the moon and beyond! Big Ideas, Big Goals, Big Changes 2020At the beginning of 2020, we all had goals we wanted to achieve. Let's face it! 2020 has thrown us a lot of curve balls!
My goals still have not changed, but business is evolving and will continuously evolve. My personal and professional goals have not changed, however, the plan to get there has. I am still a digital marketer. I can still build websites. I still optimize websites and social media pages. In December of 2019, my goals for the next year were laid out. We hit the ground running in 2020! I am going to make more money this year! I'm going to add to my skill set! I'm going to use all of my online knowledge to further different business ventures! I still have big plans! I never thought I would become a home school mom! When life throws you a curve ball, knock it out of the park! That is my most challenging change is having the kiddos home 24 hours a day! So you have to have big plans to keep them busy! I will be expanding my reselling business. It has been a lot of fun earning some extra cash on eBay. I will be expanding my marketing business. I will be putting up a new website for promotional products. I will be posting it here first. What I learned from attending a marketing seminar for local business.I recently attended a seminar for local marketing. When my schedule permits, I make time to attend these events. Anything I can do to hone my skill set I do. I love to learn!
I attended knowing these guys were just trying to up sell me, yet I wanted to know what knowledge they were willing to share about the advertising marketing industry. Most of the information was relevant. I mean they are "experts" of the industry! So here goes: 1. Make sure you have an email link on your website! I agree 100%! If your potential client can not reach you! They will move on in this fast paced world! 2. Make sure you have a mobile friendly website! I go over this here! This is so important! I can't reiterate this enough! 3. Offer a unique selling proposition. This is a no-brainer! Customers like feeling like they are getting a good deal! 4. Customer service is key! If you don't have a friendly phone person, it can be detrimental to your business. A rude person can break your business, leave a bad review. Tell all their friends about their bad experience! It's like a horrible domino effect! *If you have had this happen to your business, and have weeded out the "bad apples." There is a strategy to fix these negative reviews against your business. We can set up an appointment to come up a strategy that best works for your business. Give me a call, or if it's easier shoot me an email! I was baffled to hear this person suggest only using one avenue of advertising! I found this method completely crazy, but again in their defense this media company was only wanting you to choose them for advertising. So, as I sat there feeling uneasy because the information these business owners were being told was completely one-sided! Only choosing one avenue of advertising is a huge risk! When you have a marketing budget, and you spend money, do you see results from your advertisement campaign? Sadly, most of the time, you do not see the results. Learning how to set up and track your marketing plan can seem overwhelming! Some business owners would rather pay a big media company to handle it all which can be fine, unfortunately you're just another number paying them for services they may or may not do. Set up an appointment with me, we can talk and see what strategies could work best for your business. Then, we can begin to gather data on what works and does not work by tracking each avenue. Every business is different, and I believe having multiple avenues that can be tracked is one of the many keys to success! |
