It’s a Spooky Spooky World Out There – Lyric’s TOP 10 List for October!

It’s starting to look like fall everywhere.  The cooler weather, the seasonal changes and FOOTBALL!  And of course Halloween!  There are plenty of opportunities to get out and have some fun, share your story, make new contacts and enjoy life!  Even dress up like you would never dare to do any other time of the year!

I can’t believe that we are already coming to the end of another year, and just like always I am going to remind you that now is the  time to look at your marketing, real hard.  Measure what you have done this year and how your efforts have served you and your business.  You know that I don’t preach gadgets and systems, even though I know we all need them.  What I want to remind you about again this year is to examine whether or not your marketing is reaching your audience and telling your story.  Anyone can adopt a system, and anyone can buy gadgets that add to the marketing noise out there, but it takes a real pro to know their business, understand the market, and have a compelling story that reaches them.  Take your costume and your mask off and let people see what and who you really are and get ready for a deeper relationship with your clients and customers that will reward you for years to come!  If you need help in developing your strategy, that’s what I am here for.  Give me a call this month and let’s strategize on how to move your business powerfully and effectivly into the new year.

In the meantime, this weekend and throughout the month of October, here are some entertaining events for you to enjoy in our great city.  And when you are out there, don’t forget to snap pics and post them on your Facebook pages and profiles – share your story.  That’s what marketing is all about!

I hope to see you out at one of these events, but, if you are not in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, please share your events with us in the comment section below….I want to know what you are doing in your part of the world!

Love and Peace!
Sandy
