MARKETING MINDSET

Celebrate Your Vendors Not Just Your Clients

February 4, 2011

What a wonderful morning. A celebration DOESN'T have to be "noisy". It can be peaceful and still celebratory. We got together to show our happiness that something really good had happened by having a snack and drinking tea.

We were rejoicing (I say we because we were all a piece of it) the completion of redoing the website and its logo and sending out a newsletter (only the second one) and starting a blog for Christine McMulkin a client of mine who has become a friend over the years. It was a lot more work and attention to detail than most people know or expect.

I took my camera (I'm always prepared!) and here we all are in a photo.

 From left to right we have Susan Ward of  Boost Business who did the web design and new logo, me, Liz McMulkin who did the data input into the database, and Christine McMulkin the client AND the writer of all content who invited us all to celebrate.

We were all part of the team who helped create Christine's her new look and feel.

It felt really good. So let me ask you - do YOU celebrate your vendors and make a part of the team?

Take Time for Friends and Family.

If you have a business you're probably VERY busy with its admin, and marketing not to mention DOING the thing you love and the reason why you started the business.

I just went to movie called "The Proposal" and what affected me most was a scene where Sandra Bullock's character is crying and saying to Ryan Reynold's character that he's so fortunate to have a family and friends who love him.

You may not think of the marketing side of this but I do. When you take time away from your business to be with your family or friends, you come back happy and renewed. THAT'S good marketing!

Do you take any time off from your biz to be with your family or friend so they know you love them?
