Program: Power Sales and Marketing with Emily Niebrand

An essential part of any studio today is its marketing plan; getting your name out there and recognized. What Emily will talk about today is Power Marketing, having the “do whatever it takes” attitude in the way you sell your studio image; making sure that the customers you want to reach know you and your studio’s name. She’ll be talking about the different choices you have in what will become the primary focus of your marketing plan, advertising. She will also be giving you practical information on how to effectively use that marketing plan to, not just garner name recognition, but to sell the experience to your clients. Emily will cover what can be the toughest part for any of us, goals- how to define them and how to reach them. Lastly, she will talk about putting it all together, getting yourself motivated and inspired to make your business everything that it can be!
