Event description

The holiday season is the time for Shameless Self-Promotion.

Are you ready?

The Promotions Member Benefit puts you and your business in the limelight.  It also offers the opportunity to "buy into" the Biznik philosophy of collaboration and sense of community.

Are you making use of this fabulous tool?

Join us for coffee (or your beverage of choice!) and an informal exploration of this powerful Biznik Promotions Tool, and let's brainstorm together how we can use it most effectively now and in the New Year.

Among the things we will discover and discuss include:

  • What a promotion is, and why you should create some of your own

  • Examples of current and past promotions, and how you can creatively "steal" great ideas from others

  • Why Biznik should be your first place to begin promoting your product, services, and events

  • What's "Coming Soon" to Biznik that will give even greater exposure and opportunity for enhanced publicity

    Wow. What a great line-up of fabulous folks! I can't wait to connect with you and discover what YOU are promoting.

    I know it's early (and mid-week no less!), so my hat's off to you. You know what they say about the Early Bird :)

    With the weather's shannigans, are we still planning on meeting tomorrow morning? Any chance on pushing the time back to a less icy (and more reasonable) hour?

    Hi Barbara,

    I am planning to meet tomorrow, but I just checked the weather forecast and it does indicate a Winter Storm Warning in effect beginning at 6 am.

    We just may need to postpone the event. I will email everyone and post here in about an hour or so, after I've checked the weather again.

    OK Everyone,

    We need to cancel this event and reschedule. There is a Winter Storm Warning in effect from 6 am Wednesday to 10 am Thursday. Snow is predicted Wednesday morning followed by a mix of snow and freezing rain in the afternoon.

    I guess that qualifies as a reason to cancel! Stay tuned for a new date.

    I apologize for the inconvenience.

    I got called into court today, so I am happy I didn't miss anything.

    I look forward to connecting with everyone on this topic soon.

    Thanks Everyone for your flexibility. What do you think about next Tuesday morning (since Wednesday is Christmas Eve)?

    Any chance at making it a little later - maybe mid morning? Just to be safe.

    Hi Barbara --

    I thought about that, but am thinking that those who signed up did so because they time worked for them.

    So, I've decided to keep the time the same, but I have a back-up plan (which would have been good to have in place to begin with!):

    In the event of inclement weather, I will host the event on a teleconference line. It will be a Virtual Coffee Session! That way, everyone can attend and participate from wherever they are.

    If we invoke the PLAN B, everyone should be in a place with internet access so that they can access the web page I will put up for that purpose.

    Thanks everyone,

    Tshombe

    PS In case you all are not receiving automatic notices of posts to the event page, I will email you all a copy.

    Hello All,

    It appears that we will indeed be participating in this event via teleconference line.

    Here is the conference line: 712-432-3000 You can dial in using a land line, cell phone or Skype.

    After dialing in, you bridge number is 174809

    It will be helpful to have internet access during the discussion. I will send everyone the link to the web page, once I've completed and uploaded it.

    Thanks much and "see" you Tuesday!

    Hi Everyone,

    So we're still on for tomorrow! You'll get an automated reminder from Biznik, as well.

    I have prepared a handout that you can access by Clicking HERE. It's a pdf that you can print out before our call, or you can also view it right there on your screen.

    If at all possible, try to be at a computer with internet access so that we can look at and discuss some examples.

    Looking forward to seeing you bright and early tomorrow!

    Can't connect. I've been trying the number since 5 'til 8 and it's busy. I'll give it a few more tries but I'm not have any luck so far.

  • Barbara Saunders
    Posted by Barbara Saunders, Portland, Oregon | Dec 23, 2008

    No luck. 15 minutes of straight busy signals is making me very cranky so I'm giving it up. Sorry guys I really tried, but no luck. Maybe Roberta can give me the low down later.

    Hi Barbara, so sorry to have missed you. The conference line hold 250 people, so I don't know what happened!

    We'll fill you in on the details.
