Setting a Media Strategy Boot Camp Program Testimonials

Boot camp has totally revolutionized my brain. We celebrated personal strengths, identified our target market, got tools and skills to design a step-by-step practical strategy to take our goals to the next level. Complete with follow-up support and accountability, all while connecting with like minded, inspirational professionals among the best in their fields! Super fun-not only the information "priceless," you will walk away believing, knowing success is for you. -Jen McClure

I went from “I don’t want anything to do with social media” to “how exciting is this!” I can’t learn the skills fast enough. Website, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, YouTube, my vision for my business went from local to worldwide! How belief blowing is that? Plus I am scaring my kids! Always Fun! -Sherri Richards

I believe that the social media scene is in its infancy stage. Attending the Social Media boot camp at InSights with Sandy and Al was such an eye opening experience for me. Until the boot camp experience I could not see the big picture and the value of social media in my marketing mix. The information they presented should be heard by all. I could have not figured this out without the InSights Team, their help and guidance. Thank you Sandy and Al, you’re the best!  Great program! -Linda Houston

It gives you the tools to market your business while also educating you about why you are in business and reminds you what you are passionate about. -Besty Rackliffe

Running a business can be so overwhelming. Boot Camp helped me create a picture of what I wanted my business to be and how I could get there. It helped connect all of the pieces of marketing to create my message, therefore creating MY brand! -Christa Braun

Traditional marketing is not working. Boot Camp gets you to think out of the box. Social Media is intimidating and InSights is a great home to learn how to use it. -Amy Iverson

The reason to come to boot camp is because you leave having a more specific idea of who you are, what you do and why you do it. The education on social media is just icing on the cake. -Nicole Doyle

The people that believe the statement “You can’t teach an old dog a new tricks” have not yet attended the Insights Group Marketing Boot Camp with Sandi Maki and Al Curtis and trust me they should! I don’t consider myself “old”; however, I am experienced in the marketing field and thought I knew everything about marketing until I attended the boot camp. After working for a large corporation as a Marketing Specialist, I knew how to market but with the support of a large budget. Now that I am a small business owner, my marketing budget is limited.  At boot camp I learned how to market my company in an organic way that fits within my budget.  The information that is taught at boot camp is so impactful and a great way to benefit any company.  I highly recommend  boot camp as it is an outstanding program that teaches how to market  in an organic, low budget and very powerful way. Great job Sandi and Al for developing a program that will help business owners reach the ultimate dream of having a successful company. –Marcy Hornsby-Mohr

Social Media Strategy

Everywhere we turn, we hear that social media has become an important force in business marketing, which is very true. Money goes where people go, and people are going to social media sites.

Having an account in a social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) is not the same as having a social media “strategy”, and having a strategy is essential for success.

Allan Curtis and Sandi Maki have a common sense approach to integrating social media into a business marketing plan, and would love to help you define, develop, implement and maintain a successful strategy.

The process begins with setting some social media goals, and incorporating the best elements of what is available in the social media world today, with the ability to grow and change tomorrow. A successful strategy can be developed utilizing your existing web presence, and gaining the maximum amount of traction by adding the most important social media elements to your marketing mix.Are you using social media to promote your business?

Join us for a free lunch and learn how and why these social media sites should be an important part of your marketing mix.

Event Details:

Everywhere we turn, we hear that social media has become an important force in business marketing, which is very true. Money goes where people go, and people are going to social media sites.

Having an account in a social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) is not the same as having a social media "strategy", and having a strategy is essential for success.

Are you using social media to promote your business? Do you need to know how to create a Facebook, Linked In, Twitter or Blog strategy?

Are you using social media to promote your business? Do you have a LinkedIn account because once someone sent you an email to join? Do you have a Facebook account? Are you using it to connect with family and friends, or are you harnessing the power to promote and grow your business? Twitter? What's that all about?

We will cover each of the three top social media sites that you should be using for business in this three hour workshop.

Learn more about the power of the LinkedIn system. How can you use it to further your business connections? Discover how to use the answers forum, and work the system through first, secon, and third level connections to meet and grow your sphere of influence. How can you reach 10million users? We'll show you how.

Learn how to use Facebook for business. What to do, what not to do, and cool tips and tricks will be discovered. Did you know that Facebook is the number one growing business tool for business promotion. We'll show you the keys for the best proven promotion strategies online. Better yet, we'll help you set up some specific ideas for your business, that you can start to use right away!

Is Tweeting right for you? Absolutely. Let's discuss your Twitter campaign and get you noticed, both locally and nationally as you share the word about what you are doing, right here, right now!

These are MUST KNOW practices for anyone who is looking for business growth and success. We'll help you get your profiles working for you, 24/7, and help you make the most of your online experience.

ANYONE at ANY experience level is welcome. We will cover everything from beginning basics to advanced user strategy. 

COST:  $40

We offer a 100% money back guarantee. If at the end of class you don't feel it was worth your money, you don't pay. It's as simple as that.

See you in class! Please, RSVP. Seats fill up quickly, and we want to make sure you get one!

All roads lead home. Your online house is a website where you are blogging and sharing your story. A blog, when done properly, offers a compelling reason to keep coming back to your site. People will know that there will always be something new, fresh, and interesting on your website.

Blogging is the foundation of a successful social media strategy. Attend this class to find out the ins and outs of blogging, what platforms to use, what to write about, and more of the strategy behind the scenes. Learn how blog writing is different than article writing, why hosting a blog on your website is more advantageous that working with blogger.com, and how to drive traffic to your blog.

This is a great place to plan your blogging and social media strategy.
