"Most people never get their year going until mid-March.  All the heavy hitters that I know start off with a BIG January and build on it" ... Bob Proctor

Its another big week at The Marketing Company. Ambrose has been all over the country this week and its only wednesday. With meetings and training sessions in Auckland he then drove to Hamilton yesterday for more meetings (including one in the airport at Hamilton) followed by a flight to Palmerston last night. Ambrose is running two networking events at the Her Business Bloom conference and  then Mike is running another this afternoon (while Ambrose is in meetings) its seems a jam packed week already! With a quick flight tonight for Ambrose from Palmerston to Hamilton for training and a talk tomorrow night in Hamilton...he is squeezing 100 hours into a 4 day week! Looking forward ti having him in the office on friday to catch up!

Wow, wow, wow!
The Essential Marketing Boot Camp for Hamilton 2009 officially closed with some amazing results. Thank you to all the participants, for making the event so enjoyable and rewarding.
From the feedback we have had so far we have been blown away.

• The Essential Marketing Boot Camp for Hamilton 2009 officially generated over $1.8 million dollars in additional potential sales for the 20 attendees...with still more figures to come. This figure came from the value the participants placed on attending the boot camp for their businesses.
• We also are thrilled to report that over 14 of the attendees have planned to return to Hamilton in 2010 for the Essential Marketing Boot Camp...with still more to confirm.
• Even more exciting over the past two days as a result of the Hamilton Boot Camp 2009 we are able to leave a positive legacy in the developing world through the provision of 20 desks and 20 chairs for children at school in the developing world, through our transactional giving policy and Oxfam NZ.

2nd day - Essential Markeing Boot Camp. Footfall, spends, profit margins what a great topic. All the attendees are looking at how they are going to make a significant amount of more cash! We have a formular and now they are using it for thier own business. Can't wait to hear the results!

Well the 2nd day of the Essential Marketing Boot Camp is underway and we have a heavy topic to start with E-Commerce, websites is the discussion at the moment and how to benefit most from your website. Interesting everyone is so focused and concentrating not wanting to miss a moment.

The Essential Marketing Boot Camp - How to invest in client management. This is the topic being covered at the moment. The attendees are learning how to maximise and retain current customers. This is a great chance for the attendees to really add massive wealth to their business. Its an exciting topic that Mike and Ambrose love delivering!

This is one of the topics being covered at the moment, making sure our attendees are able to measure the direct marketing they are using.  Its a great topic with lots of light bulb moments. We love knowing that these businesses will be spending thier time, money and effort in the right places!

Lunch Time is over. We are moving through things. Golden Rules of printing, branding and design are being discussed at the moment. Some of the ideas and discussion are very interesting and lots of value is being added with this session. We know these golden rules of printing, branding and design if you would like to know more about these golden rules, let us know jo@themarketingcompany.co.nz

An interesting question has been raised at the Boot Camp...How as small to medium businesses can we learn and incorporate what big corporates are doing so well with thier marketing (such as coke and McDonalds) into our businesses besides spending lots of money.
We have our ideas however we would love to hear yours let us know what you think.
