On this Wednesday, July 16 at NOON (CST), the Marketing Twins at 1429 Creative are offering a FREE marketing coaching program sponsored by Duct Tape Marketing. This FREE conference call is an interview between John Jantsch, founder of Duct Tape Marketing, and David Meerman Scott.

David is a thought leadership and viral marketing strategist and author of The New Rules of Marketing & PR: How to use news releases, blogs, podcasts, viral marketing and online media to reach your buyers directly. I have heard David speak on numerous occasions and am currently reading his latest book (see the authors’ book blog). DMS is a brilliant marketing mind, and yet very practical for small businesses and even non-profit organizations. He keeps things simple, yet he is an excellent resource for understanding complicated online marketing and all the Web 2.0 tools available. As marketing coaches, we enjoy bringing you opportunities like this where you can sit at the feet of some of this world’s most innovative marketing leaders – and you don’t have to get on a plane and travel to some conference to do it! If you’ve never participated in a conference call of this kind, let this be your first. You’ll learn something new, I promise!

To enroll in this FREE coaching excellence series conference call, click here. Enrollment is necessary in order to obtain the conference call CALL-IN number and passcode.

These sessions usually last about an hour or so, so take your lunch hour this Wednesday and invest in yourself! Invest in your marketing!

HOW’S YOUR MARKETING GOING IN 2008?

So you’re past the first half of this calendar year . . . how’s it going?

Have you met all your 1Q and 2Q goals you set back in January?

Are you having the leads and referrals you need to continue into the homestretch of 2008? Profits like you want?

Are you in control of your marketing . . . or are you feeling OUT of control?

As an Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coach, I am equipped to coach you through a systematic approach to your marketing. One that will start by identifying your ideal client and a core message that zeros in on that target market. Then we’ll examine your presentation, your logo, and all your marketing collateral to see if it is tailored to reaching this same group (often we find that it needs an updated look or extreme makeover!) As we move into the area of online marketing, we’ll explore ways that you can harness the power of the internet to educate people about you and your products/services. We explore ways to use the web to get your target market to know you, to come to gravitate to you because you resonate with them, and then they become such happy customers that not only do they remain loyal, but they also become strategic referral partners! This is just some of what a marketing coaching program does for you!

Are these ideas that you could use some coaching with? As marketing coaches, Donny & I (The Marketing Twins at 1429 Creative) are ready to inspire you and coach you through the remainder of 2008 (and get geared up for 2009!)

I am the only Authorized Duct Tape Marketing coach in Fort Worth and one of only 3 in the entire DFW area. We are a part of a strong and growing association of marketing coaches around the globe who are committed to helping small business expand even in times of “mental recession” (quoting Dr. Phil Graham!) – to know more about Duct Tape Marketing, go here.

At 1429 Creative, we offer a variety of marketing coaching services, ranging from one- or two-session training huddles, to short-term coaching programs (anywhere from 3-12 months), and even long-term marketing coaching and consulting. We stand ready to come alongside you and your marketing efforts – and if you don’t have a Marketing Department or Marketing Director – as YOUR marketing coaches, the Marketing Twins at 1429 Creative offer you much of the same knowledge, skills and abilities without having the headaches of hiring a marketing department (and at a fraction of the cost!)

We offer a FREE 30 minute initial consultation! We also are continuing to offer our 3-HOUR marketing audit, called ONE-ON-ONE, at the low introductory price of only $150. That’s not an hourly rate, that’s for a 3-hour session with the Marketing Twins for less than what most marketing coaches charge per hour! Starting in 2009, that fee will be going up to at least $300, so secure your spot now. We have limited times available each month, and only 2 slots remain for July. Sign up today!*

-Randy & Donny, The Marketing Twins at 1429 Creative

* If you secure a spot with us by JULY 31st, we’ll even do it for $125. Contact us for more information!
