Marketing Tip: Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn!

I know it’s hard to talk about yourself, much less promote yourself!  BUT in this world of social marketing, you must learn how to carry on a conversation, engage your clients and prospects with information that helps them know WHO you are and WHAT you do.  It’s impossible to do that without some blatant self-promotion!  There is a difference in being “salesy” and promoting your business/service – a very fine line in fact.  But my rule of thumb is to keep it real and in a conversational tone.  Don’t be shy.  Remember this: great marketing is the art of telling people about what you are doing and what your product will do for them.
