OMG...I can't believe how quickly this month has went by and I can't believe that we are back in the meetup again. I think that I did really good this month as far as my business goals are concerned. My goals for the month were as follows.
Design: Create something new to add to my portfolio
Prep: Research something I want to learn more about
Complete: Finish a project that has fallen through the cracks
Market: Do something to get the word out about our shop
Continue: Keep up on something I have been doing well
Design: A postcard/flyer for my upcoming
collaborative trunk show that I am having with some other amazing
vendors. I'' share more within the coming few weeks.
Prep: Design new jewelry pieces for the boutique. I
am currently working on a new collection as we speak. Also prep for the
trunk show in August.
Complete: I guess the new collection could also go
under complete. I would also like to complete the things that weren't
completed from my goals for last month.
- Create and print promotional postcards for Springcart.
- Create and print promotional collateral for the Design Lab.
- Start planning for the wedding Dj services website and promotional material.
- Send out a newsletter.
- Launch a new line of packaged gifts (can't wait for this one my heads been busy with ideas)
- Start changing the home page to the boutique more often to showcase our
wide range of products. Maybe I will shoot for every other week.
Market: New collection of packaged gifts.
Continue: To find new ways to advertise and market the Design Lab and also Springcart and continue to Hustle Harder as I wrote about here.
***ETA***
I can't take credit for the snazzy way that I presented my to do list. I got the idea from Jumping Jack Designs.
As you can see I got just about everything done on my list and I super excited about that. But as you all know in business, "The Hustle" never stops... :)
You can take a look at the Trunk Show flyer here and if you're in Los Angles be sure to stop by. It's a collaborative effort between myself and 6 other FABULOUS WOMEN. You can also R.S.V.P. over on Facebook.
We also hired an assistant for the Summer, she is super FANTASTIC. That has been a huge help with getting orders packaged and ready for the PO and also entering the receipts into the system for us, filing, you know all of the tedious work that we all hate to do in business but have to do . She also writes a weekly feature here on tha Hotness, you can check them out here.
My goals for May...
Design: My collection of packaged gifts. Oh and I am also working on two logos for clients this month. I will be sure to share when I am done.
Prep: There are few additional items that I would like to have ready for the Trunk Show at the end of the month. I also need to promote the show to make sure that we have a great turnout.
Complete: Ummmm...let me think. Okay..
- Complete the promotional plan for the DJ services part of our business. We've actually been going a lot of gigs this month.
Market: The Trunk Show... I really want this event to be successful. If any of you would be sooo gracious as to give our little event a shout out on your blog right before the event I'd totally be your BFF . :) Or I also started a new advertising program here on tha Hotness that you can read all about here.
Continue: To hustle and make it happen, promote the shop...
