With the 2012 Marketing Plan Bundle,
you can eliminate the Feast or Famine Syndrome forever!

Whether you are new to marketing your business (because until now everything has come via word-of-mouth), or you have a few solid marketing tools in place, you probably realize by now that marketing is essential to the growth of your business.

As some of our clients have told us, their time devoted to marketing is “as important as client work, if not more,” because it actually fuels the client work and keeps it coming!

No need to be overwhelmed!

We know there are so many options when it comes to marketing your business -- that it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

•    Which marketing tools should you use? How often?
•    How often should you network?
•    Where do you fit in prospecting? Planning? Updating your website?
•    What about social networking? Twitter? LinkedIn?

The Marketing Plan Bundle will answer all those questions for you.

Make 2012 your best!
By working with the Marketing Plan Bundle, you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish in 12 months. As long as you don’t sabotage yourself by ignoring the tasks, your business will grow. As long as you take your own marketing as seriously as you take the work you do for your clients, you will gain new clients, make more money, and learn tools and strategies that will benefit your success and profit for years to come.

The key is making it a habit, integrating the tasks into your everyday life. That’s why we’ve answered the calls to turn the Marketing Plan + Calendar into the Marketing Plan Bundle. And now it’s yours to try.

Get started right now:

The Marketing Plan Bundle is available as a download in two versions: Beginner and Advanced.

You are a Beginner if:

•    You've been in business a while, gotten most work through word-of-mouth and haven’t
      really done much marketing.
•    You’ve been in business a while but want to introduce your services to a brand new   
      market
•    You recently started your own part-time or full-time business (or think you might be doing
      so soon)
•    You haven’t yet finished your web site (or it desperately needs a revamp)

You are Advanced if:
•    You have an established business
•    You do “some” marketing here and there but get most of your clients through
      word-of-mouth
•    You get work but it’s not the work you want
•    You can’t seem to avoid The Feast or Famine Syndrome


OPTION 1

Buy the bundle. It includes the 2012 Marketing Plan eCalendar (syncs directly with your electronic calendar) + 18-page eCalendar guide + the 206-page Start Anytime spiral-bound, printed version + interactive PDF.
