Appreciation Marketing

What you SHOULD be doing online …

If you really want to know what you should be doing online my recommendation is to network in a real and authentic way. We’re not talking about networking like you see at your local chamber of commerce meet-ups where people whip out business cards and throw them around like ninja stars, but networking as in:

  • Finding a networking community that shares your interests (and yes, this can be a Facebook page, LinkedIn or a handful of Blogs).
  • Making sure that everyone connected in the community has shared/similar values.
  • Adding your own value (insights, news, etc…) that helps to elevate to the community and the participants.
  • Do much more for others before asking them to do something for you (I think Chris Brogan’s rule is perfect: do twelve things for others before asking them to do one thing for yourself).
  • Don’t ask for business, but try to find business for everyone else.
  • Plug into the community. Sincerely. Get to know your neighbors and be helpful.

It’s not sexy and it doesn’t add to your bottom line… today.

And that’s why so few people do it so well, and those that do it very well are the true rock stars of their industry.

That’s what you should do online.

Description: The content has the potential to literally launch your business (and profitability) by showing you how to get started building a Social Media Presence. Not only on the Internet, but also in your day-to-day interactions with customers, clients, and prospects. Businesses using Social Media Marketing and Appreciation Marketing are seeing astronomical increases in customer retention, repeat business, and referrals and I’ve designed a 3 hour seminar that jump starts you in both areas.

The seminar covers two major topics: Social Media Marketing and Appreciation Marketing. Social Media Marketing is the act of using social influencers, social media platforms, and online communities for marketing, publication relations, and customer service. Social Media Marketing tools include Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Blogs, Digg, Delicious, and hundreds more.

Appreciation Marketing is in and of itself as powerful as Social Media Marketing. It’s about being fresh, creative, and unpredictable in a positive way. You separate yourself from the masses when you take the time to communicate something personal or memorable to a client or prospect. Appreciation Marketing is the act of building someone else up. It’s about standing out from the crowd, being different, being amazing, and making someone’s day. I’ve also got a great digital new-school twist on an old-school marketing technique for you.

Upcoming Dates: Check our website for other available dates.

Registration Info: The seminar fee is $49 payable to Core Zero Creative. Advance registration is required.

If you have any questions at all please contact us at 207-212-2432 or send email for more info and for available dates and times.

Tommy and Curtis have hit the nail right on the head in this easy-to-read book filled with stories, ideas, and suggestions that will allow you to formulate what they call an “Appreciation Marketing Strategy” in your business and/or personal life. There are tiny adjustments you can make in your everyday routine that will begin to pay dividends immediately.

Tream ‘em Right

Tomorrow we are going to Hartford, Connecticut for the Treat ‘em Right Seminar. We are very excited about the opportunity to go to this professional development course. It promises to help us get connected and reach out to our networks and community. The keynote speaker, Kody Bateman, CEO of Send Out Cards, will be joined by a host of talented and inspiring Business and Personal Development Professionals for a full day of training, including Tommy Wyatt of Appreciation Marketing: How to Achieve Greatness Through Gratitude.

Our day will start at 3am! We will then meet a caravan of other inspiring individuals for the 4hr ride to Connecticut. When we get back, we’ll write to you all about what we learned. I am hoping to be inspired and challenged to reach out to others in our business and community.
