So choosing our location. So obviously for a promotional stand like Jason's, we did a tour of the hotel. They sort of had already decided. But when I came, he said, look, you can also do something.

  continue reading
 
Okay? So the next thing is what to look for when you're booking a promotional space. So the first thing is that we need to look for whether this area or this location matches your avatar.

Who to nominate. You need to select around five. I've had people that have done three. They've tried 710 more. It distracts too much. You need to do around about finding five, five clients. So for those people that are still working towards getting that transformational experience happening for every client, this is something that you want to aspir…
  continue reading
 
Okay? So the concept of client of the month, you have to reach a level where you believe you are giving clients that transformational experience that they deserve.

So what are the fundamental components of a gift certificate? So the value needs to be clear and prominent. We've got an example of a gift certificate that you can see in our membership.

We're trying to get our clients to use us more often. We're in that center circle of getting our clients to use us more often because we're going to leverage off all the education we've already done.

  continue reading
 
So the next thing we're going to talk about are gift certificates, which really are the core of your marketing, physical, tangible marketing.

The one thing in my mind with repeating clients and happiness, then what? So when you get them to come back and they want to come back.
