Mrs. Meg Crowley

Today, I want to introduce to you – an Arbonne Consultant, Meg Crowley.  I decided to do something different this week.  Since this is National Business Women’s Week, I’m featuring a few business women who are passionately pursuing their dreams.  I met Meg over a year ago at Powercore, a local networking group.  Meg was the coordinator of the team when I joined, and she’s always been the most helpful person. There will be others as the week goes on, but I encourage you to listen to this interview if you’re already pursuing your passion, or looking for encouragement on how to find a more meaningful and profitable career.

Highlights from Interview with Meg Crowley

  • Which is better for your health… European or American cosmetics? The choice is yours, but… I encourage you to get educated before spending another dime.
  • Meg talks about a product that… if you’re using it… it’s like putting plastic wrap on your skin?
  • Also reveals how (at age 50) she lost 35 lbs since June 1 this year… and her husband loves it!!

Quick Tips to See if Your Business Card Marketing Needs Fixing

I’ve been attending networking events, meeting business people, and engaging in business card marketing for more than 15 years. I never gave it a lot of thought until I got into marketing and advertising 6 years ago. Suddenly, I was encountering dozens of small to mid-sized business owners who were frustrated, disgruntled, and disillusioned because of the thousands of dollars spent in advertising that failed to bring in new customers. They were spending (in some cases) $400 to $500 dollars per month to lease websites, going to networking meetings to generate leads, and… handing out business cards… in hopes that someone would get back in touch if and when they needed their product or service.

Small Business Marketing Plan
A Small Business Marketing Plan Helps to Leverage All Your Assets & Opportunities

In case you didn’t know… this is Home-Based Business Week. If you want to take ground, one of the greatest places to start is with a small business marketing plan. Running a successful business takes more than a notion. While working at home has several perks, but there are multiple pitfalls to avoid. I wanted to share a few things that help me to stay focused and productive.

In addition, this is International Strategic Planning Month. I’m especially pumped about strategic planning month because I know it’s the foundation for long-term success.

Affordable Website Design & it’s Benefits Escapes Many Local Business Owners

Affordable Website Design Escapes Many Business Owners

Is Your Website a Waste of Money?

Just today… I spoke with a local Atlanta business owner in his 25th year in business. While he does have a website, it wasn’t was I consider “affordable website design“.

In talking about website marketing, and local search (local SEO), he was fairly familiar with the strategy of positioning himself by providing valuable information to truly help his customer base.

When I found out what he was spending every month… I got heated.

He’s spending in excess of $5,000 PER MONTH for a yellow page ad, and a website… that he doesn’t own!

Now… I used to work for the company that sold him the website, so I completely understand. There offerings were the exact opposite of affordable website design. (It’s been several years since I left them.)

It wouldn’t be so bad if that investment was providing a return on investment of 2:1 or 3:1. But it’s not. Far too many business owners are paying for websites that fail to meet the basic requirements of effective internet marketing… forget about affordable website design services.

So, here’s a real short blog post to clarify what a website should do. Bear in mind… once you launch a website… you’ve got to drive traffic to it. I recommend leaning on the 80/20 rule when it comes to budgeting for affordable website design and marketing:

  • 20% – build your website
  • 80% – market your website Read More→
