Session Description:
“How to Promote Your Products When Business is Slow”
Increasing product awareness and more importantly, SALES are both hot topics these days especially in a tight economy. Have you noticed that some businesses will stop marketing or slow it down when business is slow because they are afraid to spend money? During down times companies have more time than money to spend. There are many things product sellers can do to spread the word and drum up business including how to effectively use the extra time to review, revamp, re-focus on current and new customers. In this fast-paced session Heidi will share at least a dozen ideas for marketing your products and adding to your bottom line.
Heidi is passionate about helping women achieve their goals which led to creating the Women’s eCommerce Association, International – www.wecai.org. Their mission is to “help women do MORE business on and off the web.” They have more than 1300 members and have achieved a steady growth since WECAI’S launch in 2003. They host monthly business and social networking events, quarterly professional summits, publish free information products and offer a free membership to help women achieve their goals. Heidi enjoys reading, writing, tennis, dancing, surfing the ‘net, riding my motorcycle and traveling (oh, and shopping).
