2010 is going fast – are you finding yourself behind on your marketing already? If you are in the DFW area, here’s a great reminder about how NOT to be caught off guard when it comes to the Super Bowl traffic headed our way next year.
We have created 4 nighttime webinars just for the small business owner who is too busy during the day to stop and “do marketing stuff.” (we hear this all the time, so you are not alone!)
All webinars begin at 8:30p CST. Individual webinars run only $35!
2/16 – Creating a customized Facebook Fan Page that acts as a communication tool with your best ambassadors, and how to use the Fan Page to drive traffic back to your site. You’ll learn some ways to make your Facebook Fan Page look NOTHING LIKE the default Fan Page – are you ready to STAND OUT? Sign up now.
2/18 - Still confused by Twitter? Learn how Twitter can be used to showcase your expertise and credibility – and how to use it in a way that actually generates interest and traffic (without self-promoting the whole time!) Register today!
2/23 – Linkedin is a powerful networking tool – but most professionals do not maximize their profile – do you know how to import your blog? We’ll show you. Do you have some great PPT presentations that would demonstrate expertise in your industry? We’ll show you how to include those as well. These are things we have shared with rooms filled with expert networkers and recruiters and even they are amazed about all you can do with Linkedin. Enroll for this webinar.
2/26 – If a potential customer googles your business, what will they find? For many of you, there are reviews sitting out there on review sites like Google/Yahoo Local, Yelp, CitySearch, InsiderPages, MerchantCircle, Angie’s List and a host of industry-specific online review sites. Would you like to get more reviews? We’ll teach you how to do it. Would you like to know how to respond to a negative review (you’ll get one someday if you don’t already have them)? We’ll show you how to professional react without doing further PR damage. And we’ll show you a simple technique on how you can not only remain aware of what’s been said about you, but you can showcase only positive reviews! Don’t miss this opportunity!
Are you marketing ready? If not, you can sign up for all 4 nighttime webinars for less than $100.

All webinars begin at 8:30pm CST
Tue, Feb 16 – We’ll deal primarily with using your Facebook Fan page to attract customers and how to turn them in to revenue for your business. You will learn some pretty cool techniques on personalizing your Fan Page so it doesn’t look just like everyone else’s.
Thu, Feb 18 – Twitter is all about exponentially broadcasting your message – we’ll show you ways to do that, with simple tips on making your tweets “re-tweetable”; this is not a simple Twitter 101 class, but how to use it in a way that connects you to more people and using that network to make your business better.
Tue, Feb 23 – Linkedin is a powerful professional networking tool, yet most people ignore the 5 simple things you do to customize your Linkedin profile to showcase your expertise and credibility! Your potential customers most likely have a Linkedin account – and you need one, too! Learn to connect where your customers are.
Thu, Feb 25 – Online reviews are increasingly important to a business interested in local search. Review sites like Yelp!, CitySearch, InsiderPages and other more commonly known such as Google and Yahoo Local, allow your past customers to rate their experience and tell everyone else about it. Does this make you excited or very anxious? Learn strategies on how to obtain positive reviews from customers and what to do if you get a negative review (hint: don’t track them down and go to their house and chew them out . . . read about this in an article recently; it did not end well.)
You can have FULL ACCESS to all 4 webinars only $95. Individual sessions are only $35, but it’s like “buy 3, get a 4th free!”
Our webinar caps the number of participants for each webinar at 25 – so register now!

And finally, here’s a debate going into your romantic dinner out:
Twitter friend, marketing blogger and fellow small business marekting consultant, Jay Ehret, shares his thoughts on how Valentine’s Day should be viewed by the restaurant owner – and it’s NOT about making alot of money on Valentine’s Day but creating long-term customers.
Jay also shares a link to another article from a restaurant blogger, John Foley, who says Valentine’s Day is your day to make positive cash flow.
Which is it? Does it have to be either/or?
