You’re using all the traditional marketing vehicles. You’ve got business cards, brochures, and flyers to hand out at networking events and trade shows. You’ve got a website, maybe a blog, and you’re active on one or more social networking sites. If only you could promote your organizing business in non-business settings without being annoying! Actually, you can!
There are so many interesting options for professional organizers in terms of specialization, training, and certification, it can be challenging to figure out which ones may be beneficial to you, your clients, and your business.

POAA member Jan McWilliams is here as our guest today to tell us all about it!
Internet Marketing is one of the most important tools in your business arsenal. Not only does it cost less than advertising in print and broadcast media, its interactive nature allows you to build relationships with clients and prospects without the need for time-consuming telephone or face-to-face meetings.

Your Internet marketing plan may include search engine optimization, email marketing, blogging, social networking, and other strategies.
I see from the reminder in my datebook that it’s time to order my planner for 2010! As long as I can remember, I have loved calendars of all shapes and sizes, so this is a task I generally look forward to. However, as there seem to be more and more options every year, I could really use your help choosing one. In fact, I will give a free copy of my e-book, Organizing Your Life, Your Way, which sells for $24.95, to the person who suggests the planner that best meets my needs.
