Creating loyal fans and community for your customers. Simple steps with big rewards.
Community and loyalty are often the foundation of the world’s most successful companies.  Look at Apple, Nike, and Red Bull as just a few examples.  While clever marketing and great products are certainly important, the unseen powerhouse driving these companies is community and loyalty.Think of that little restaurant or café in your neighborhood, that doesn’t even have a Facebook page – they don’t have a clue how to market, but they have an incredibly loyal following and a line up around the corner every day.No matter what your business is, online or offline, beauty products or business to business, one of the biggest keys to success is creating loyal fans and community for your customers.Erin Woodward is with us today talking about how she built a community and a company with The Gloss Book Club, that started as a way to find herself some friends in a strange city, and has become an international endeavour with 150,000 members in 15 countries.She drops some gold on building loyalty through consistency and how to connect with your target market no matter where they are.Ready to create a business that propels itself through its community?Website:  www.theglossbookclub.comSocial Media Links: @theglossbookclubGet a free pass to the book club by connecting with Erin HEREReady to SMASH Your Goals?   We're here to help!Make this the year that changes EVERYTHING.  Now offering limited spots in our full day “Done with You” Success Blueprint Days  for personalized marketing and strategy to propel you to your biggest year ever!CLICK TO:  BOOK MY DAY

Its running, but its not producing like it should be, or like you want it to be?What if the thing you are missing isn’t another marketing tactic or promotion?  What if the thing you are missing is actually an energy block, that’s stopping everything from flowing as it should?We know that every living being consists of energy and that energy affects the world around us.  But have you thought about how blocks in your energy may be causing problems in your business?  If you think energy work is a little woo woo, stick with me here, because Vanessa from Prosperamama is going to blow your mind when she explains how it all works together and the science behind it.If you have a hard time saying your price out loud to a client, or pressing that button to go LIVE to your audience, or even reaching out to a client, those are very real problems.
