Why Domination is Good For You...

...as long as you're the dominant one, that is!

Being submissive is a lot more dangerous than you might think, especially if you're a business owner - and this is a business marketing blog, after all.

In business, you tend to win or lose, especially when the climate is getting harder. True, you can sometimes survive in business without apparently 'beating' anyone but if you want to grow and progress you have to do more than just survive, and it's an increasingly competitive world out there. Those competitors are after your business.

In a really competive environment you don't have the option of 'peaceful co-existence' - either you work to win or you accept defeat, and your best chance of winning is to be dominant, not submissive.

To dominate your marketplace your best place to start is where most of your customers are looking - online. Fortunately, online domination is also the quickest and most cost-effective place to start, as we'll show you on June 9th at our Search Engine Domination Workshop.

The workshop will be at The Self Centre, in Bury St Edmunds.

In one packed morning we'll show you all the essential elements to online domination and you will leave us equipped with vital skills and knowledge to put your online domination strategy into action within hours.

By the end of the afternoon, back in your office, you could already have several online domination tactics in place. In a few days you could have started them all, and in a few weeks' time you could be effectively dominating your market online.

This means you will be 'everywhere' online, meaning less room for your competitors, you can have total control of your online reputation and credibilty and customers and clients will be approaching you, rather than you chasing them.

All of that will cost you just £97 (some discounts available) at http://onlinedomination.eventbrite.com or from our Cinnamon Edge website. Or you can call us on 01284 753912.

Online domination - it certainly beats giving in!

It ALL Comes Down to Leadership

There are a lot of disgruntled people around today: disappointed with their results, disappointed with their leaders and fearful for the future.

Some of them blame the cuts, some blame the delivery of services and some blame the messenger.

Others have vowed to fight on, while a few have probably decided to call it a day.

You, however, are still here, fighting for what you believe in and struggling with all your might to keep the promises you made when you started out.

That's what leadership comes down to.

And that's the way of it in business (and politics, for that matter): factors outside your control affect you just as personally as the things within it; other people's actions get blamed on you and your business is affected by the performance of your competitors.

That's why it's important to be au fait with latest developments and up to date with the options available to your business, starting with the things that have the maximum positive effect for the minimum initial outlay.

That means starting with search engine marketing: the art of using Google, Bing, Yahoo and the rest to give you access to the biggest market for your products and services for the lowest cost yet - in fact, mostly free!

So it's not too late - you can still vote YES for your business, and you can do it today by choosing to join us in Bury St Edmunds on May 11th for our one day workshop on Search Engine Marketing.

At this small workshop you will get, not just the broad brush 'this should work' approach thata you might hear from experts and pundits elsewhere. Instead, you'll get specific and detailed advice to help YOUR business serve YOUR customers in YOUR market against YOUR competition.

In other words, it's your day to vote YES for your business.

See more details and book your place at http://semworkshop.eventbrite.com and learn more about all Cinnamon Edge's business workshops on the Cinnamon Edge website.

Call us today on 01284 753 912 to ask about special deals for sole traders and discounts for multiple tickets - we especially recommend you combine this event with our Search Engine Domination Workshop on June 9th.

We'll be in touch to ask you for your specific questions and challenges so we can give you the best possible deal on the day and the best possible results for your business.

Join us in voting YES for your business!

Decision Time!

Whether or not you bother to vote today, and whichever way you cast your vote(s), I hope you'll always vote FOR your business.

If you do, you know that voting YES for your business means investing time, effort and cash, in varying proportions. Usually, the more time you put in the less cash you need to invest.

And usually, the more time someone else gives to your business the more cash it costs you.

We like to break the mould sometimes, which is why a whole day of our time, worth umpteen thousands of pounds to your business, will cost you less than £150.

All we ask is that you invest a day, too, and join us at our all-day workshop to learn everything you need to know about search engine marketing. Pound for pound (and hour for hour) SEM is the best investment you can make in your business.

That's why we think this is the easiest voting decision you will make today. The vote FOR your business.

Go to http://semworkshop.eventbrite.com for more information and to vote YES or call us at 01284 753912 to discuss our special deals and discounts for multiple events.

Best wishes, and remember to vote YES for your business today!
