Advanced Marketing
Start digging deeper into your marketing!
There is so much more to a good marketing strategy and brand presence than just the likes of Social Media. Although we will touch on social media marketing techniques and strategies, this class is aimed at helping you fill in the gaps and create a thorough understanding of your brand and how to reach your target market.
We'll go in depth on the purpose of marketing: How to get more clients, how to justify charging more, and increase your rate of repeat clients. We'll explore your marketing options: Do you need to put more emphasis on traditional local media? New media? Social Media? Guerilla media? Blogging? Could your SEO need some help?
In addition to marketing strategies we'll also dig deeper into cultivating a strong and recognizable brand presence that will help you set yourself above your competition, and legitimize you amongst your clients. Did you know that your brand as a whole tells more about you than just your photos, your personality, your logo, the fonts you choose? Did you know that how your clients talk about you is just as important as your brand message. They all go hand in hand to tell the story of you, so you can tell the story of them! I can't wait to meet you all and hope to clear up most of the mystery of marketing!
