Give Your Business Focus and Direction With the "Marketing for More" Seminar

Saturday & Sunday, March 28-29, 2009
in Northampton, Massachusetts

Only 11% of working Americans work less than 6 hours a day.  Would you like to be one of them - while living where and how you most want to?

Instead of spinning your wheels, unsure how to move forward, what if you had a feasible plan for growth? 

Imagine the increased power of all your communications when you have clarity on the unique value your clients and customers receive.

What recession?  You can inspire your existing clientele to spend more with you each year without much additional effort on your part.

"Without a doubt, the best business seminar I have ever attended - useful, entertaining, stimulating and full of money-making ideas." - Bill Baird, Baird Direct Marketing

Open to ten ambitious business owners or self-employed professionals, this two-day intensive meeting of the minds focuses exclusively on the question, "How can I earn more money and experience less stress by adopting shrewder strategies, more profitable attitudes and smarter marketing?"

In this unique "Marketing for More" seminar, you'll not only listen as I share strategies, ideas, options and perspectives that help you boost cash flow and fatten profits, you'll each have an opportunity to get a torrent of fresh ideas just for you from fellow participants and me.  Extensive handouts and worksheets, along with two months of free follow-up in the "Marketing for More" member web site, ensure that you get extraordinary value from your enrollment.

"The March 2006 Marketing for More seminar was a turning point for my
business.  It not only helped me see the path we needed to take, but also
gave me the motivation to step outside my comfort zone and delegate so our ten-year-old company could grow.  Simultaneously our market changed, and I now had the knowledge and the ability to take advantage of that opportunity. We're now getting a lot more new business, and I'm delegating about 50% of what's involved in that.  It's a huge change, with much more growth on the horizon as I put new marketing initiatives into place." - Kay Hudson, American Builders Network, Winter Park, FL

The seminar takes place Saturday and Sunday, March 28-29, 2009 in historic, lively Northampton, Massachusetts, in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, about 100 miles west of Boston.  Enrollment is capped at ten people so that you can be sure to get individual attention to your questions and concerns.

If you don't already know my qualifications, please take a look at my credentials.

"I'm the marketing director for an adaptive technology company and want to thank Marcia Yudkin for her seminar and followup sessions.  What I learned at the seminar enabled me to create new products from things we already had on hand and redo our print catalog so that it looks brighter and cleaner, with more user stories and testimonials.  There's a lot more to be done, but I feel inspired and things are definitely moving in the right direction." - Dorothy Fitch, Dedham, MA

What you'll learn in the "Marketing for More" seminar

Gain insights like the following:

  • Positioning:  are you clearly communicating what makes you different from competitors?

  • Pricing:  four models for charging (and getting!) more, along with the essential ways to hammer home the value you provide

  • Added revenue streams:  more than a dozen ways to earn more with little effort, multiplying your income while still leaving you time to relax and pursue outside interests

  • Web sites:  the biggest response-killers I see again and again, and how to fix these errors for greater credibility, more leads and increased sales

  • Advertising:  cost-effective revenue generators to try in print, by mail and online

  • Marketing:  other often-overlooked techniques that can generate tens of thousands of dollars in sales in just a week or two

Best of all, you will not just be taking notes at this seminar, left on your own to figure out how to apply exciting new ideas to your business.  Both days are intensely interactive, with questions always welcome and discussion the norm.  

"The mix of advice and help was invaluable, giving the feeling of a tailor-made course.  I received much more than I expected in a manner that was clear, concise and relevant." - Sharon Walker, Creative Visions Consulting, Kingston, Jamaica

On Sunday afternoon, you and everyone else have a turn at getting the whole group's input on your home page as well as how you specifically can increase revenues and profits, applying what was discussed in the previous day and a half along with everything else the others know to your business or profession and your goals.  We end with everyone formulating do-able action steps to facilitate launching important changes upon returning home. 

"Having changed my business focus, I attended the Marketing for More seminar for the second time, and it was everything I had hoped for and more.  Marcia did a great job of making sure that everyone received the feedback and airtime they deserved.  Now I know what to do next and am ready to do it!" - CarolAnn Price, Marblehead, MA

Please note that this program is designed for those with an already established business or professional practice.  If you are a marketing director of a company or nonprofit organization, you're also eligible to attend.  Everything remains focused on how to improve or extend what you have built for greater profits.  If you need advice on launching a new venture, please refer to my consulting options instead.

"Marcia's seminar gave me specific insights on where to target my marketing efforts and how to focus my website so that readers get the message about what I do.  It will definitely jumpstart my marketing, which is exactly what I had hoped." - Jean Moroney, President, Thinking Directions, New York City

And that's not all...

Leave some extra space in your suitcase since we will load you up with practical handouts, worksheets and reports as well as a complimentary copy of my book on publicity strategies (or another book of mine, if you already have that one). 

"The Marketing for More seminar was the single greatest boost to my creativity and confidence that I have ever experienced.  You introduced ideas that I had some familiarity with, but had not known how to apply.  In a friendly, interactive setting around a conference table, you and other attendees suggested new ideas tailored to my business.  Lights were going on in my brain throughout the two-day conference.  The weekend exceeded my expectations.  Thank you!" - Rosemary Moore, Bytesized Data Solutions, Landrum, SC

In addition, to make sure that you receive lasting value from the weekend, you'll receive free access for two months to my "Marketing for More" member web site, where you receive ongoing support, extensive resources for planning and executing a wide variety of marketing strategies and the opportunity to share challenges and solutions with other high-powered entrepreneurs, professionals and business owners.

"Marcia, you have the clearest mind I have ever encountered. You cut right through the situation and in a straight line proceed to a creative solution. It is interesting to be in your seminar just to hear how you think!" - Dr. Doris Jeanette, Philadelphia, PA

How much?  And how to sign up?

Tuition for this two-day eye opener to greater profits is $995.00, which includes two Continental breakfasts and two lunches.  You'll be on your own for Saturday night dinner, free to sample the adventurous, eclectic restaurant offerings in Northampton.  (I'll make suggestions if you like.)  The seminar begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 28 and ends at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 29.

"A good venue, good food and a perfect balance of general advice and specific help for my business. She presented numerous ways to make big marketing ideas do-able. Through feedback from her and the others in the group, I gained valuable insights on how my website wording came across to others and how to spin language to reach the various audiences for my services. It was well worth the time and expense of going from the Midwest to Massachusetts!" - Heidi Tran, Word Stylist, Columbus, OH
