Offline Marketing Today – Out and About
By Denise Michaels, Author, “Testosterone-Free Marketing”
I’m always bouncing back and forth between working online and offline to bring attention to my message and gain more people interested in my message and what I do.
Today is an offline day – It’s 6:53 am and in five minutes I need to jump in the shower and get ready to drive across town for a networking breakfast. It’s a long way to go -but it’s a really great meeting and a lot of people have purchased my book and taken an interest in my Testosterone-Free Marketing message. It’s with a group I joined a few months ago called Defining Women Network*. Empowering, fun and they really do business with each other.
Then, I have two meetings at the brand new “M” resort – a gorgeous place. They have a huge lobby area that overlooks the pool and a few miles away you can see the legendary Las Vegas strip. It’s far enough away from the ubiquitious casinos we have out here that you don’t hear the clanging bells that are part of the casino scene.
It’s elegant and lovely in a clean, modern, zen kind of way – I’m going to wrap up my laptop and take it with me and work there for awhile. My guess is they won’t have wifi access – but I have a writing project I need to complete for a client – so I can do that offline. I crave opportunities to work in lovely, elegant settings. I like my office at home – just painted it and redecorated a few weeks ago. But in comparison this space is opulent. It inspires me and encourages me to think abundant thoughts and ideas. I encourage you to find ways to work in lovely settings outside of your office to inspire you. Then, I’ll bounce back home before the rush hour starts.
The meetings are sort of “getting to know you” kind of meetings – but I’m hoping one of the two will become a marketing mentoring client.
Have a great day yourself – whatever you’re doing. Holy cow – I’ve got 15 minutes to shower, get dressed, put on makeup and get out the door. Gotta fly!

Wow! I gave myself 45 minutes to drive to the breakfast meeting and it only took 30 minutes to get there. Cool! The breakfast was great.
I baked homemade brownies last night – one for each person there today. I attached each one to a postcard I had made at VistaPrint that said, “Does the thought of marketing and selling in your business almost drive you to chocolate?” There were five bullets listed (benefits!) and my contact info. I punched a hole in the corner of the postcard. Then attached it to the baggie with the brownie with a purple ribbon. Purple is the color for DWN. It was a hit – low cost and hopefully something that’s memorable.
The meetings at the “M” resort afterward were fine, too. But I didn’t end up working on my laptop there. As beautiful as the environment is – the music was too loud for me to focus.
