San Diego Holistic Living Expo Review

Street Team Consulting — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:35:06 +0000

**Disclaimer: I do not put on events or trade shows like the Holistic Living Expo. I am not claiming that I can or am even willing to do it better. Understand that I am keeping true to my promise of providing the facts, the truth and keeping it real… which very few in our Holistic and Positive world are willing to do.

Well I didn’t get any interviews… but I can recap what else I found

My mission was to assess this event in terms of effectiveness. Looking at it from a practitioner’s point of view and the end user – those seeking healing.

1. This Holistic Living Expo: Was Hard to Find

I am a huge fan of things working, and for this event I cannot say that they logistically had things set up correctly.

To their credit there was a sign hung up in a tree, right in front of the building where the Holistic Living Expo was being held. But it didn’t make it any easier to find, because it was tucked in and away. I can’t help but wonder how many people drove all the way out and went home thinking: “how did I get the date wrong…”.

All navigation issues aside, I pressed on and upon my grand entrance, I discovered that…

2. The Holistic Living Expo: Was Much Smaller then I Expected

And I don’t exactly know why I assumed this event would be well, a “bigger deal”. But looking deeper I can see through the fog; the website for the Holistic Living Expo looks like it was built in the early 90′s, and for me, usually that is a good judge of quality. Despite my initial impression from the website, I set very high expectations for this event.

And why not? Considering the Holistic Living Expo is doing 23+ events all over California. That alone, in my mind says, “Hey this expo must have its stuff together.”

I am sorry to say they do not.

**2nd Discalimer: I can only speak for my one experience, at the San Diego event December 5th, 2010. It is possible that events in other cities are more effective, but I doubt it…

Other than finding the place they did great; the expo was designed to support a high velocity flow and it was organized by an obviously experienced group of event producers. But, they are terrible event promoters.

3. The Holistic Living Expo: Was Poorly and Under Promoted

Here’s why: I got there around 2pm for an all day expo, there was a whopping total of 15 end users in attendance, and after confirming my suspicions with a few practitioners, I found out that this was the busiest it had been all day! :-/

This is because their marketing model is flawed… Not only does the practitioner pay for his/her both space, but the Holistic Living Expo’s marketing strategy for getting end users in the door relies mostly on their practitioners promoting the event to their existing list of customers and prospects. Which would be a great model, if the practitioners in attendance actually had decent lists. There were only about three that I would say had established practices or business, the rest were startups or the kind of business model that does not capture emails or ever consistently market and engage.

Most of the practitioners I met and spoke with had never-ever done a trade show, and surly had never done one with the Holistic Living Expo.

In closing I will say this:

If you are planning on attending a Holistic Living Expo, sign up for their email list and get a free pass. In my opinion it is not worth the $10. Period. Also, I would consider making your visit to the expo short and plan your day so you can get a two-for-one and just run some other errands in the area.

If you are planning on becoming a vendor at a Holistic Living Expo, don’t. If you are going to invest a couple hundred dollars into expanding your brand awareness and generating leads, then you are better off:

1. Trying out a different trade show that actually has decent turnout from an effective marketing strategy

2. Throwing that couple hundred dollars into some local Pay-Per-Click traffic

3. Or even just leaving a trail of money that leads up to your office door… it would take less time and probably get more people to walk through your office door then the Holistic Living Expo.

Give Like God

Street Team Consulting — Mon, 17 May 2010 01:47:36 +0000

Social marketing has evolved rapidly over the last 30 years with the help of Philip Kotler and Gerald Zaltman. They coined Social Marketing after realizing that traditional marketing techniques can be used to not just sell products but also sell ideas, attitudes and behaviors. And that through focusing on creating social good through giving, an organization can take leaps towards realizing its ultimate vision while meeting it’s immediate needs. The way social marketing is being used currently is, through a program or initiative, influencing social behaviors to directly benefit the ‘general’ society. Social Marketing finds its roots in health programs starting originally and simply as public service announcements. And since Kotler and Zaltman’s influence has come a long way to now influencing public behavior through large scale health programs, that are focusing on reducing drug abuse, STD’s, and heart disease (to name just a few).

Why does Social marketing work?

Ideas can change minds and when those ideas are communicated correctly, those ideas can become part of the cultural norm, affecting social change. Social Marketing works because it does not reinvent the wheel, Social Marketing just realigns a wheel’s purpose. Social Marketing’s principals are based on centuries of capitalistic marketing and sales methods. Social Marketing is about consciously choosing to use the methodologies and systems that influence trillions of dollars worth of buying decisions each day and directing them towards influencing public behavior to create social good.

Why does it matter?

The time has come, as a highly advanced culture to take ownership, responsibility, and stewardship of ourselves and each other. Our greatest asset is our health and well being as individuals, families, communities, organizations, and as an ecology. Social Marketing is relevant to your business right now because most people are in fear and lack. And from this fear decisions are made and people launch initiatives without clear intent and purpose, ecological philosophy and values, and without abundance in heart and mind. The time is right to widen our view and seek to include others in our vision, abundance, and creative solutions. It is through the giving that we will accelerate and spread prosperity and well being, and we hope you are that kind of person too.

How can Social Marketing improve my business?

The primary aim of ‘Social Marketing’ is ‘social good’ in general terms, while in ‘commercial marketing’ the aim is primarily ‘financial’ gain. The difference is in the emphasis, in the psychology, and when you switch your focus from pushing your message, products and services on your ‘victims’-to one of raising community awareness, for you to serve with heart and value, true social change will be achieved… and more abundance too!

Social Marketing uses behavioral psychology, social influence, communications and other concepts and techniques to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. And this does not mean that your initiatives don’t create revenue and build wealth. On the contrary, Social Marketing is the systematic application of marketing and influence on a larger scale, creating win, win, win circumstances for the benefit for everyone.

There is a movement happening, and it is starting with the people who are daring enough to learn how to impact more people with the advanced strategies and tools available today.

What if you had the intent to heal the world? To create a world where everyone – individuals, organizations, businesses, and governments – work together to end disease, suffering, hate, violence, and discrimination. A world where the power of marketing and communication is harnessed to bring us to a better place, a better world?

There is a group of , Leaders, Healing Ambassadors, and Health and Wellness Professionals who are having a discussion on the topic of making a measurable change, please join us: Monday 5/24 at 2pm Pacific.

IMPORTANT: Our teleseminar bridgeline has only 100

teleslots, but we anticipate over 250 people to register

for this free conference call. That’s why it makes sense

to dial-in at least 10 minutes early on the 17th so you

I just started working with Jason, and am so grateful for the depth of knowledge and expertise he has in so many fields to get my message with clarity, and empower my business.

Plus, he is simply a pure joy to work with.

If you don’t have a coach already, you would be foolish to pass this opportunity up.

Understand the Five Key Benefits of a Web Presents

You’d be hard pressed to show me a very successful business that doesn’t have a web presents. It’s a critical aspect of being able to start and continue conversations with potential clients. To carry on marketing conversations, you must be able to follow up with the potential clients who come to you interested in your services or products if you don’t have a web site, you are missing out on the best and most efficient way to start these kinds of marketing conversations.

Say this mantra reputedly to yourself, “The effectiveness of my website is directly proportionate to how solution oriented my offers are”

Your website can be the single most effective tool for attracting and securing clients – if it’s done right. You must focus on benefits rather than features. Don’t bore your visitors with overly complicated technical information and specs of what you do. Rather simplify by using language they will understand, because they are thinking, “ME ME ME, How will this benefit me?”

Below you will find the purpose and benefits of having a website:

Its positions you as an expert: Perception is everything on the internet. Having your own website increase you visibility, credibility and trustworthiness.

It builds you brand identity: Your website represents you and your business in the marketplace. So you need to make sure what your website is communicating is congruent to your image, otherwise you might misinform and detour potential customers away from your services.
It reaches a global marketplace: If you have a product available on you website you’ll expand you geographic marketplace from your local neighborhood to the entire world.
It creates an around the clock passive revenue profit machine: The web never sleeps, which means that you can turn you computer and website into a cash register. Your website will be working around the clock to Grow your Business. Most of the processes can be automated so it requires little attention from you, allowing you to focus your attention elsewhere.
It builds your database: A website can instantly increase the effectiveness of your sales cycle by building a targeted list of potential clients who have given you permission to follow up with them. When you integrate an email “drip” marketing system, you can effectively keep your database of potential clients updated on your products, offerings, and special incentives.

So you ARE online? How many leads or sales is your website produce a month? How much revenue does your website directly or indirectly result in? How well is your site converting? There are probably a quite a few areas your website could improve. Get specialized knowledge on how your website can help you grow your business by calling (800) 921-4391..

How to Establish yourself as an Expert Online

Street Team Consulting — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 01:13:01 +0000

As a professional your main focus should be to develop your credibility, establish yourself as an expert, and showcase your best work. When you effectively do this you’ll quickly become the best and most obvious choice for your potential clients.

When you are fully self-expressed, fully demonstrating your values and your views, you’ll naturally attract and draw to yourself those you’re best suited to work with, and you’ll push away those you’re not meant to work with.

There is power in targeting and dominating a specific niche market. While it may seem counterproductive to narrow your market, in order to gain more clients, that’s exactly what you need to do to successfully bring yourself new business. Stop being like a hunter, spreading out your focus like a shotgun blast and capturing only a few different “gigs”. Be more like a farmer, sew one specific type of seed that you are the master of and then reap a plentiful harvest, over and over.

Remember your target market is the group of people you serve, and your niche is the service you specialize in offering to your target market. Take to time to get specifically clear on this; it will it will pay off.

Knowing the “what” to communicate and knowing the “who” to specifically communicate to are a great start to growing your business. Now, in order to reach the people you’re meant to serve, you’ve got to know where to find them and the Internet is a great place to start. Your business needs a marketing system to keep running smoothly, cleanly, and constantly. Just as it’s important for you to follow through on your word, it’s vital to build marketing systems that show you off as an expert 24 hours a day.

How do you showcase yourself as a credible leading expert?

How do you attract your target market to your specific niche?

What marketing systems do you have working 24 hours a day?
