Find out what forms of marketing help you to magnetise your ideal customers and how to approach the press in digital and print media
PLEASE NOTE: This session is part of BIPC Devon's Boost Your Start-Up course, sessions are open to Devon-Based Start-Ups.
Understanding your brand and where you fit into the market and who your customers are will enable you to craft a compelling marketing message that will help you to attract and engage potential customers eventually turning them into repeat buyers and brand ambassadors.
There are many approaches to marketing that can lead to success, but most people feel uncomfortable marketing themselves or their business so it is essential to find a methodology that works for you personally.
In this workshop, Stacey Sheppard will help you to work out what forms of marketing allow you to show up authentically in a way that enables you to magnetise your ideal customers and convert them into buyers whilst feeling good about sales. You will also learn how to approach press outreach and find opportunities to get your business featured in digital and print media.
You will leave this workshop with a clearer understanding of how to be magnetic in order to increase your brand's visibility and reputation with key stakeholders.
