Are you worried that the marketing you do today will contribute to the online noise? Perhaps you’re feeling uneasy about marketing your products and services in the era of COVID-19 - feeling like everyone is ‘Zoomed out” and uninterested in joining yet another webinar or online workshop. In all of the noise currently happening in the online space, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed when we see the influx of ads landing in our inboxes and showing up in our social media feeds. But while these feelings are normal - they shouldn’t stop you from marketing your brand.

So, how can fierce female leaders continue their marketing efforts without contributing to the online noise?

Today, I explain how your company can stand out from a marketing standpoint during the coronavirus crisis. I discuss a big lie you may be telling yourself and how this might be impeding your brand’s potential in the online marketplace. I discuss how industry leaders, like Apple and Disney, overcome economic adversity and continue to grow and succeed well after an economic recession.  I also highlight why it is crucial to lead rather than hide and focus on sharing with your audience rather than looking externally.  

“Noise isn’t the enemy of most entrepreneurs - obscurity is the enemy.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

  • The importance of having a clear message and presenting it skillfully
  • Lies and assumptions we hold onto when it comes to marketing, and who your real enemy is
  • Why advertisement rates are going down on many platforms
  • How consumers are paying more attention to advertisements in response to COVID-19
  • Where top female business leaders focus to be successful
  • The characteristics of the most powerful marketing messages, and the questions they answer
  • What supported Apple’s unprecedented growth after Steve Jobs returned from Pixar

Should you reduce your prices in the face of an economic downturn? This is a question many fierce feminine leaders and entrepreneurs are asking as we continue to face economic uncertainty around the world and develop a strategy to position our businesses to weather the storm. While cutting our prices may seem like the obvious solution to surviving an economic crisis, there are other ways to safeguard your business and position yourself for success.

Keep Reading >>

Today, I explain why I believe cutting your prices during an economic downturn is a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction for many business leaders and the long-term impact it can have on your business - long after the recession has ended.  I highlight the importance of being creative with meeting your customers where they are and share alternative strategies you can use to continue building your business without reducing your prices. I also highlight what you should and should not offer for free as well as how adding value can strategically link back to your sales process.

 

“The pricing decisions that you make today are going to impact your business, not only in the short-term but also for years after the economy recovers.” - Eleanor Beaton

 

Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast:

  • How the pricing decisions you make today will impact your business after the economy recovers
  • Three reasons why prices tend to drop during a recession
  • The importance of intentionality and integrity when determining your prices
  • What cutting prices on your services trains customers to do
  • Four pricing tips to help you get through this downturn as an entrepreneur
  • The damaging assumption that many entrepreneurs make about selling services at full price during an economic crisis
