We are here to help make your dreams a reality.

Use Your Creativity

So far it has been a productive year for our firm.

We have decided to use our gifts more and really create a environment that helps us and our clients thrive. The one main thing we have started to do is utilize multiple ways to promote the firm.

For instance
Flyers
Free gifts (yes bride we are giving away free planners)
Business cards
Donating to events throughout the area

With these different avenues we have been able to use our creative side to design and circulate infomation to necessary locations.

It is no fun to be in business and not use your gifts to go a step farther.

Come one everyone Create!

Cross Marketing

In todays economy everyone is looking for new ways to get customers. Some people have established new services (Make It Happen Consulting is now offering wedding coordinating services), relocating, or expanding the way they network.

Another idea that not that many people have been utilizing is cross marketing. It is good to have a power team in place for the products and services your company needs but cross marketing is having the preferred vendors or individuals you network with have you as the primary referral. It is simply finding companies with products and services that complement yours and work with them to promote their offerings and yours simultaneously

For instance, if you are a graphic designer the printer that you utilize for all your needs would also be the company to promote your services to customers.

Who are you cross marketing with?

If you have not thought of the concept it is another creative way to increase sales and not expenses.

What do you think?

Celebrate and Move Forward

Happy New Year

This is a new year which many people take as a new beginning. Everyone is setting resolutions and trying to make decisions so they can be the person in their dreams.

While you are planning on what goals you want to pursue be sure to think about who you are and your passions. It is only when you work in passion that things work perfectly.

We would love to hear some of your goals and aspirations.

This year will be what you make of it.

So...
Start your business
Plan your dream wedding
Write that book
Organize your finances
Volunteer in the community
Travel

Live in your passion today

Community Event Announcement

The U.S. is currently in a recession. Many people that once lived normal, comfortable lives (home, transportation, and money) are now homeless.

Chuck Brown "Godfather of GoGo" and Brenda Eason owner of the BBON (Black Business Owners Network) know firsthand what being homeless is like. They have joined forces with the support of the community to help families in the Washington, DC metropolitan area

This will be the first of many shelter events hosted by Brenda Eason, as she wants to give back to those who are less fortunate. She remembers life in a shelter and only hopes to help families progress, just as she was able to do. The tour is titled “Gift of Hope” because Mrs. Eason wants to give hope to those currently experiencing homelessness.

They are asking the community, organizations and business owners to come forward with winter clothing (coats preferred) toys and potentially CD players for each family.

If you would like to make a donation please contact Amy Rice at 202-726-2203. The event is on December 20th so donations are needed quickly. Members of the press who would like to cover this story should contact Brenda Eason at Brenda@BBON.biz or 301-312-4936.
