2008 – Recapping the Rollercoaster
Whew. That was a heck of a year. Financial crisis, historic elections, and changes for everyone.
It sure had it’s way with me. After a disappointing start to the business year, I took a full time job as Marketing Director for a software company in Albany. At the time, it seemed like the smart move, and in many ways it was. But after a short while, I realized what I had known all along: my passion is in running my own business.
So I’m back, recharged, and with new experiences to draw upon. And I’ve got big plans for 2009.
Plans that benefit YOU.
2009 – Teamwork and Togetherness
I recently wrote an article about marketing in a recession. I talked about how tough times make it all too easy to cut marketing budgets. But that’s trouble in the long term. If you stop communicating with your clients, when things turn around again you’ve got to play catch up. And it just may be too late.
So this year, I’m launching some new programs to help you continue (or re-start) the conversation with your clients. I’m going to be offering some great deals that will help you to stay current with your clients without draining any more of your savings.
I’m still finalizing things, so I can’t say much more now. But next week I’ll be ready to talk in detail about at least one of my planned programs.
So stick around! There’s help on the way. And if we can all help each other out during these tough times, we’ll be in strong positions to capitalize when the economy turns around.
Talk to you next week.
