Firstly, I’d like to wish you all a Happy (somewhat belated) New Year!

So, the Christmas break is over, and is now a distant memory….. although the tight waistband reminds us that it was a good one (or is that just me ;))!

As a business owner, you’ve probably written out your marketing strategy and goals for 2012.  Like me, you probably enthusiastically wrote a nice long list, with dates alongside of when you’ll be implementing each item.  So, now we’re already in the 2nd week of January, how are those goals looking?  Have you started any of them yet?

You could be forgiven if they’re “somewhere on your desk”, after all it’s only January, there’s still another 11 months yet to complete them….. there’s no rush…..

You run a business, you’ve got to do everything!  Not only are you trying to keep up with the day to day running of your business, you’re also keeping one eye on the future and planning to take your business to the next level!

You’re not alone  🙂

What if you outsourced some of your goals? Or maybe the tasks that distract you from starting them?  Wouldn’t that lighten the load a little?

Below are examples of goals that you may have set yourself for 2012 – along with a few suggestions of how maybe I could help…..

WRITE MORE BLOG POSTS

>  If the content is already written – I could type it out for you
>  I could research articles relating to the content
>  Instead of writing out the posts first, you could try speaking/recording them – I could then type them out
>  Maybe you already have the posts typed out ready to publish but you’re not that confident with the spelling / grammar – I could proof them first before publishing

KEEP CONTACTS UP TO DATE

>  You have a box (maybe several!) of business cards collected over the last year or so from networking events – send them to me and I can collate them all into an Excel table, sorted alphabetically and formatted ready to upload into your email marketing software

BE MORE ACTIVE ON FACEBOOK

>  I can become an admin for your business page
>  I can post articles relating to your business
>  I can link your page to other business pages that are relevant to yours
>  I can sell your services/products – link to your website every now & then
>  I can post regular updates and keep an eye out for customer feedback/questions

STAY ON TOP OF YOUR INVOICING

>  Send me the details and I can process invoices for you
>  Or, if you want to carry on processing them yourself but just keep forgetting, let me be your reminder service 🙂

MAYBE ONE OF YOUR GOALS IS TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY

>  I can research family outings / breaks away and things to do
>  By outsourcing some or all of the above, you’ll get oodles (yes it’s a word!) of time back to spend with your family 🙂

These are just a few ways I could help you to stay on target with your goals for 2012.  For more information, please feel free to contact me.
