Our Uptown Business


We realized that our new promotional passion, www.UptownCrew.net, was enough cause for celebration to share with our Boost Your Biz clients and followers.

An example of our marketing and promotional work, including its easy-to-maintain web presence, Uptown Crew highlights the less well knows parts of Jersey City, New Jersey, just as interest in the Big City is growing.

Uptown Crew is also on Facebook. We established it as a group page, so that its growing membership can post their own Uptown events and items.

Spring Special


CONSULTATION on YOUR BUDGET

Our theme for the season:

Renew.
Rethink.
Recommit.
Refresh.

Thirty years experience in business administration and program management, the last five years in the dynamic small business environment, eight years of co-counseling training, plus expertise in office systems, bookkeeping, marketing, vendor and customer relations, and more are yours for the asking.

Here's the deal:

YOU WILL GET a two-hour consultation from Trish Szymanski. Prepare for this high-impact session by gathering all your questions, problems and musings about your business.

YOU WON'T GET an invoice. Instead, you are invited to take advantage of this consultation ($150 value) and to pay for it what you think it is worth to you. We're happy to consider a combination payment of cash plus goods or services.

It's time for a fresh look. Let us know when you're ready.

"Business, good business, is an art."

FACEBOOK MARKETING PACKAGE

Facebook offers a simple way to connect to your community, and theirs, and so on, and so on....

If
  • you're not on Facebook, and don't even want to be
  • you're not on Facebook, kind of wish you were, but are leery of security and privacy issues
  • you're on Facebook, but hate the deluge of stuff that comes through your news feed
  • you are SURE it is a big mess and there is NO WAY you could get any business value out of something that teenagers use

You should know that

Facebook is INDEED a serious marketing tool. Whether you're
  • a sole proprietor
  • an artist
  • an entrepreneur or
  • own a small business,

Facebook can work for you.

If you already have a website, you can use Facebook to drive traffic to it, and vice versa. If you don't, you can make use of your personal connections to reach new customers that you would never reach any other way.

Setup
Short-term support
Long-term maintenance

Every Day is a New Day

On the continuum of life and business, past decisions and future plans play a big role. But you live in the present. Care for yourself as a person, keep your view fresh, and you will be positioned to take advantage of opportunities in the here and now.

NEW WORKSHOP: Connecting in the Cloud I - Google Documents

Did you know that you and your very small staff can share key information with each other on the internet - for free?

Imagine not having to wait for a fax, only to find out you're out of ink, and then when you finally get it, all you can do is make handwritten notes and fax it back! Oops, it jammed again! Meanwhile, the customer is waiting, or worse, the lawyer!

No more. With Google documents, you can create many kinds of documents and share them all online with only the people who need to see them and print them in final only when you are ready.

This workshop is for 2-5 people, two hours for 2 attendees and possibly a little longer for more.

We'll show you how to
  • create new documents, spreadsheets and presentations
  • share them
  • assign accessibility and privacy
  • organize and
  • archive.
This is a great way to let the internet work for you while staying small and simple, and keeping your investment minimal.

If I knew then what I know now...

I love aging. Seriously. Not that I'm all that old - I feel like I'm in my prime! But I really do cherish every birthday, every day, and everything that happens. Maybe it's because I've learned to listen to people I work with and to my own instinctive voice and to learn from every experience I have, personal or professional.

We all get stuck sometimes. Don't sit alone with your challenges, while opportunities and time slip away. Let me help you BOOST YOUR BIZ.
