Join us on Wednesday for a live Marketing Makeover!

Posted Wed, 10/07/2009 - 07:28 by Louisa

What’s a Marketing Makeover? Well, it’s when one lucky WMF member gets a marketing consultation from one of our marketing expert members live and direct on the phone. And the best bit is that you get the opportunity to listen in and benefit from our marketing expert's wisdom as well...

The lucky recipient of the makeover this time is Amanda Charteris of Gift Wrapped and Gorgeous, (http://www.giftwrappedandgorgeous.co.uk) which is an online store that promotes and markets creative designer makers based in the UK. Amanda will be spending around 45 minutes on the phone with Shona Partridge of Women Mean Business, and will receive specific, targeted advice on how to improve the results she’s getting from her marketing. Shona has particular expertise in the field of PR, having worked as a journalist and in PR for almost 20 years before going into business for herself.

The makeover will be held this coming Wednesday, 21st Oct at 1pm (UK time). We’d love to you to join us live on the call if you can, and it’s easy to take part.

The live call is for WMF members only, so please email me on louisa@WomensMarketingForum.com to request access details. Just put 'Makeover details' in the subject line and I'll know what the email is about.

I hope you can join us on Wednesday, but if you don't have to miss out if you are unable to join us live as the call will be recorded and uploaded to the site within a few days.
