May Mini Steps Team Challenge - Day 1

I always LOVE new when a new idea book launches to our customers.  Today is even more exciting...it is the first day of the heARTS4Him Team Challenge and it is Super Saturday!

Working full time - I typically work my business on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  For me, Saturday is the day I can usually get a lot done with my business.  While these challenges were meant to work each day you can do them all at once or work ahead.  It is up to you!  Be sure to check this blog each day for the new challenge - track your points and be sure to follow the response requirements to earn your points!  Fun and prizes for everyone who participates!



Today's challenges:
 Create marketing plan for Studio J - 10 points
Have you decided how you will market this amazing new product?  This challenge is just for you.  Create your plan for marketing Studio J.  If you have a MyCTMH website, how do you plan to let your customers know about Studio J.  For me, I have planned 2 Preview Party's each month at my house.  At these events, I will have 3 laptops available and customers will come learn about how to navigate Studio J.  Check out my calendar on my website to see my dates.  You are welcome to attend - learn how I will present to my customers and then offer it to yours.  Planning the Preview Party is just the beginning of my marketing plan - I have also included information in my newsletters and on my website.  Most importantly - I plan to connect with my customers - on the phone - to let them know about this amazing product.

Respond: E-mail me marketing plan.

 Schedule and plan New Idea Book Celebration or Studio J Preview Party - 20 points.
Plan a date to have a New Idea Book Celebration or a Studio J Preview Party.  Personally, I schedule my New Idea Book Celebration's at the end of the month - I like to have the time to have my artwork done for classes and the special - having it at the beginning of the month did not work - the second and third week are my Creative Classes - having them the end of the month worked for me.  Planning the event is just part of the challenge - the other part is to set a goal for your event.  Your goal can be a sales goal, number of guests, etc.

Respond: E-mail me event and date with your goal for the event.
