    5 Creative Ways to Attract and Engage Clients for a Profitable Holiday

    5 Creative Ways to Attract and Engage Clients for a Profitable Holiday

    Episode 55 is sponsored by The "I SAY WHO I AM" book and Identity Magazine Column series! Empower your child's self-esteem while juggling work and family life. These books, designed for toddlers and kids up to 3rd grade, promote positive self-image from an early age.
    They include songs and videos for an interactive learning experience. Invest in your child's self-esteem while you tune in to Your A-Game Podcast and manage your business. Give them the confidence to embrace their uniqueness.
    In this Episode, I share 5 creative ways to attract and engage clients for a profitable holiday season:
    Festive Content and Social Media Campaigns: Create holiday-themed content across your social media platforms. This could include visually appealing graphics, videos, or even interactive polls and quizzes related to the holiday season. Run a festive social media campaign with giveaways, discounts, or exclusive holiday-themed promotions. Encourage user participation through contests or challenges, and ask clients to share their holiday stories or experiences related to your products or services. Personalized Holiday Greetings: Send personalized holiday greetings to your clients. This could be in the form of emails, video messages, or even traditional holiday cards. Make sure to tailor the message to each client, expressing gratitude for their support throughout the year. Include exclusive offers or discounts in the holiday greetings as a token of appreciation. Personalized communication can foster a stronger connection with your clients. Virtual Holiday Events: Host virtual holiday events such as webinars, workshops, or Q&A sessions related to your industry or products. Make the events interactive and engaging, and offer exclusive insights or tips that can benefit your clients. Incorporate a festive theme into the virtual events, and consider organizing virtual social hours or networking sessions to create a sense of community among your clients. Limited Edition Holiday Products or Services: Introduce limited edition holiday-themed products or services. This can create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, encouraging clients to make a purchase or take advantage of a special offer during the holiday season. Consider bundling products or services together in festive packages or offering customization options to make the holiday offerings even more appealing. Charitable Initiatives: Align your brand with a charitable cause during the holiday season. Communicate your commitment to giving back, and encourage clients to participate by making a donation or supporting a specific initiative. You can also tie your products or services to a charitable contribution—for example, donate a percentage of holiday sales to a chosen charity. This not only benefits a good cause but also adds a positive and meaningful dimension to your holiday marketing. Remember to adapt these ideas based on your specific industry, target audience, and brand personality to make them most effective for your business.
    You've got this and don't let your ThOUGHTS self-sabotage your holiday fun and profits!

    The Journey of Belief

    The Journey of Belief

    The Journey of Belief, Season 2, Episode 50! 
    This episode is sponsored by IdentityMagazine.net, an online magazine empowering you to transform through self-acceptance, appreciation, and personal achievement—The A-Game Formula and approach. 
    Because of the Identity Magazine platform, Susan started her career in self-improvement and coaching and has empowered hundreds of thousands of women through the online platform, retreats, conferences, workshops, books, coaching, and this podcast.
    The Journey of Belief was built because Susan discovered her identity through self-acceptance, appreciation of her life, the good and the bad, and learning how to celebrate her daily successes.
    Remember this...
    Once you make a decision, every moment forward from that decision, you break through a level of belief.
    Let’s look at the journey of belief in creating a profitable business:
    I’ll share my personal roadmap…
    I had to believe I could launch a business, so I built my magazine in-between my 9-5
    I had to believe I could make money as an entrepreneur, so I started practicing selling.
    Then I had to believe I could be a full-time entrepreneur, so I first went part-time, kept practicing selling, and started to bartend and sold booze and food all weekend long.
    Then I had to believe I could make money consistently, that was scary.
    I then had to believe I could write a book
    Then position the book and turn it into a touring workshop
    It was about 10 years ago I gave up all side hustles and went full-time entrepreneurship.
    Then I had to believe I could become a speaker.
    I had to believe that I would be okay after my 1st speaking gig and not die or feel like a fool
    Then I had to believe I had value to share
    Then I had to believe I could earn as a speaker
    Then I got paid for 9 years speaking and earning 6 figures but I still had to work on my belief that I was worthy of it
    Every inch forward takes an ounce of belief over and over and it never ends.
    When you want something to achieve, I’ll tell you that you gotta be willing to believe over and over and let that compound—allow it to compound so you build a belief foundation.
    Because that is one of the secret sauces to success.
    Looking to build your belief within your MomLife + BizLife? Join Mindset + Achieve™ and learn the foundational steps to build belief and learn how it plays a crucial role in reaching your Mompreneur goals.
