Design Surface Patterns From Scratch
Bonnie Christine
Get proactive instead of reactive with your marketing plan
Marketing your small business can feel like throwing spaghetti at the proverbial wall.
You try all the things you’re “supposed" to do (blogging, making videos, posting to social media…) and you try to keep up with the “hot new trends” that promise to change the way customers find you.
You spend tons of time and energy—and probably some money too. And after all that…
You wonder whether it’s really paying off or not. Is your business really growing? Or is it just your workload…?
Marketing isn’t something you want to mess around with. You want confidence. You want to know it’s working. And, perhaps most importantly, you want to know exactly how you can accelerate your success once you get it right.
Most business owners lack 2 essential pieces of the marketing puzzle. These 2 missing pieces keep them from fully utilizing all the effort they’re already putting into marketing while also keeping them from discovering just how rewarding (and fun) marketing can be.
The first essential piece is a plan. That plan needs to help you be productive, efficient, and decisive. It can ever bring focus and clarity to the whole way your business operates. This class has that covered.
The second essential piece is a solid messaging foundation. The difference between your campaigns and the ones that really, truly pay off isn’t ad spend, hot new trends, or expertise—it’s a message that connects with exactly the right people. This class gives you a system for creating that message every single time.
Join bestselling Money & Life instructor and CoCommercial founder Tara Gentile for a 2-day class on creating the marketing foundation and plan you need to grow your standout business.
By the end of this class, you will be able to:
Best of all, you’ll have a replicable system you can use for every campaign and every year to feel completely confident in your marketing.
This is hands down the best marketing class I have ever taken. I have taken other classes before but this is the first time where I feel that the ideas were so clearly broken down for me. Tara gave a clear overview of the marketing process in a way that I could immediately apply to my business. Then she went into detail with clear examples and simplified the process without excessively complicated jargon and unnecessary steps. I feel super confident to apply this method into my own business but more importantly I now know enough to build a system that works for me!
This class is phenomenal! It's hard to find classes that don't promise you instant success and get your hopes up. This class was the complete opposite of that. It's detailed and structured in a way that it is helpful without being overwhelming! She's amazing and a great teacher!
I have spent so much money, buying top brand name programs to learn how to do Marketing over the past few years. While several of those programs were good, they came with very complicated and super detailed instructions. I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone who is looking for an easy set of directions to follow for Marketing. I was skeptical when I bought this class. I bought it based on testimonials. I was hoping I would learn something new, but figured it would be rehashing old information. Was I ever wrong! The favorite thing I learned was in Lesson 17 that breaks your customers into five different categories. You will base your marketing around this information. The information is not outdated. You do not have to change how you are Marketing now. This class teaches you to be more effective in your current Marketing and gives you a plan to follow. If you are concerned about the cost, CreativeLive always runs sales. It is worth every penny!
I took a ton of notes on this class because it was chalked full of actionable insight for my small business marketing. You learn a great deal about learning how to figuring out the "why" behind your product. Why is it the solution to the problems your prospects face and how can you use that "why" to convert them into customers. I am looking forward to immediately applying this new knowledge in upcoming marketing campaigns. Thank you Tara and CreativeLive!
This class was so great for pulling all my existing marketing knowledge together into one neat package and REALLY simplifying it. I've watched it twice now and plan to watch it again in a few months after I've had some time to implement Tara's suggestions.
This class is a great way to not only learn, but to think through and brainstorm the marketing challenges you're facing while the class is happening. Tara is a great teacher and public speaker; this class provides reproducible framework and solid real-life examples to get the most out of time. My only qualm- there is a lot of time spent talking about marketing plans in the framework of service-based businesses. As a product-based business owner, it took some thinking outside of the box to relate to some of the points. Still- this is a great course and I can't wait to take another with Tara!
This may be the best money that I have ever spent on my business. I can not believe all of the GOLD you get for such an affordable class.
Tara is a wonderful teacher. Everything is well thought out and very methodical with a step by step approach on building a great plan to market with. I am very glad I purchased this course!
This is awesome. I love the part about creating eye-catching headlines. I bought the video and was watching and editing my website as I went along.
Fantastic course! Quality, actionable content.
This class helped me pull together all of the random tid bits of marketing that I was doing into a campaign. I've been in business for about 3 years now. Although I've been marketing, I've never been very strategic about marketing. I've run a few launches for my group programs but never for my 1:1 work. Now, I have everything I need to plan and run a marketing campaign. Thank you, Tara & CreativeLive
As with all of Tara Gentile's classes, this class was excellent. Tight, on point, clear, incredibly useful and *actionable*. I think the *only* thing I would change, as a member of the studio audience, would be to add some blank pages into the workbooks, for note-taking! I will be revisiting this class over and over again. Tara is the BOMB.
Amazing class with very helpful information!
This class is fantastic! Follow EXACTLY what Tara says to do and you will have the powerful tools to build a marketing plan that will actually convert for your business. This is exactly what marketing experts do for their clients, broken down into easy, DIY steps.
Tara, the information you delivered in this class is invaluable. I am in the launching stage of my business, and I know I need to market my business and services and I know I need to write a plan, but I didn't know how to do it. Instagram, content upgrades, Facebook, email marketing, webinars, blogging, etc. etc., I know it all. But I just couldn't get my head around how to truly use marketing campaigns for my business, and especially for my services, to reach my ideal client, help my ideal client and to reach my ideal income. You explained the why behind marketing campaigns and you showed us how to create a marketing campaign from A to Z. The whole sha-bang! You gave me the knowledge and inspiration in how to market my services, how many people I ideally want to reach and above all, a framework I can use time and time again to create a marketing campaign. I purchased the class right after seeing the live broadcast so I can use this class for planning all my next marketing campaigns. You clarified a lot and I am much more confident (and so much more less stressed haha) in creating a marketing campaign plan that works for my business and services. I learned a lot! Thank you! P.S. Love the hot seats.
This class was fantastic! The first big ah-ha moment was realizing that my ideal client may be in any part of a spectrum of awareness and that in order to speak to them I need to consider that. The information about content blocks is AMAZING and will use that immediately and ongoing to analyze sales messages/pages that I respond to and using that understanding to create content for myself. Highly recommend!!
This class was excellent. Tara was through and well organized. There was a clear plan for the path she was taking it on and she made creating campaigns feel like no sweat. As someone who specializes in creating systems and processes, I appreciated how thought out the content was and love how she gave a step-by-step process for creating replicable campaigns with ease. I've launched things before, but this gave me a whole new perspective and I can't wait to apply the material to my next launch.
I have been in business for years and dabble around marketing campaigns. This class brought it all together and simplified it for me. I honestly feel like I can get much better results without spending more time on it, just putting my energy in the right place. I cannot wait to implement all of this over the next few weeks!!
Tara totally demystified the marketing process for me. I used to think it was just all these moving parts I had to wrangle to get a message through to my audience. Her building blocks system is amazing — not only does it make the process so much easier, but it's also so much more meaningful and thoughtful because it requires a lot of listening (yay for a fellow introvert scared to sound "salesy") ;) I'm actually really excited to start marketing (gasp!) my stuff now. Best marketing class I've been to!
Absolutely awesome! I'll be putting Tara's strategies into practice immediately. I've closed several loops in my process that I know are going to lead to more success with my marketing campaigns.
Once again Tara has delivered a brilliant class. It was perfect timing for me as I am about to relaunch an existing program. I saw clearly what I missed during the first launch and I'm curious to see how the new approach based on Tara's strategies will convert. Highly practical and hugely insightful if you want to stop chasing bright shiny objects and spinning your wheels. I especially loved the launch model using where the customer is in their knowledge of your offer - brilliant!
This class is well worth the time! Tara does an excellent job of not only providing a step by step system for creating a marketing campaign, but she provides clear context and insights along the way. This is important so that you're not just going through the motions and crossing your fingers that your marketing will work. She helps you understand the strategy behind the scenes so you can get the most out of the work you put in. I highly recommend this course to anyone considering doing their own marketing, or people who are already doing their own marketing and want to feel more empowered and get better results.
Packed with useful information beyond the marketing basics you can get elsewhere. Tara moves the class forward at a steady pace — there is no filler. Recommended.
Once again, Tara has delivered an incredible amount of content, while making it relatable with tons of examples and her great sense of humor! Going through the customer awareness spectrum has really changed the way I'm thinking of delivering content and products, and the building blocks are bringing lots of clarity that will impact all aspects of my business. So many actionable ideas....this is a great class!
Tara, I love your creative live events I always learn so much and this time was the same. Perfect timing on this info, it is exactly what I need right now and I feel confident that I can do it! I joined CoCommercial and am excited about that. Thank you, Tara.
