Sonja's Biz Talk posts

Life's a beach....Finally!

Hello! My name is Sonja Graff and I am thrilled to announce that my beautiful family and I have relocated from Las Vegas to breathtaking Laguna Beach, California! I am now the Senior Account Executive for 944 Magazine Orange County! If you or anyone you know is looking to brand your company in this sexy, hip, award winning publication, contact me directly at SonjaGraff@944.com. Dilligence, hard work and a supporting, loving husband have made all of my dreams come true! Much success! Mrs. G

If you build it, they will come? Not!

When trying to decide how to market your products and services, you first need to decide exactly who your target market is, then you need to research their buying habits.

If they are reading local papers and/or magazines, then research distribution and readership. I suggest trade publications that are geared to your type of business. Remember, a small ad can have a large impact if your message is well thought out and clear. Less is more, hit your demographic and hit it often, the more a person sees your message, the more likely they are to remember your name when in the market for your goods and services. Too often I see small businesses that simply didn't add an advertising budget to their business plan, that is unfortunate. Just because you built it, does not mean people will come. You need to get the word out about who you are, what you do and the benefit consumers will receive by choosing you to work for them.

Also, with the economy being what it is, loads of business people are taking to networking events, find some in your area and go represent! People buy from people, take your charming self to as many networking events as you can, shake hands, kiss babies and watch your business grow! :) Good luck!
