What else?

06.05.2013 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

IMG_2458I love going to the meat market by my house, it’s a bunch of curmudgeonly old men, who don’t say “okay sounds good” they only ask “What Else?” And then I keep buying stuff because they’re big and scary! Okay, not really, BUT how often do you ask your clients- “what else”?

What am I forgetting to ask here? What else do we need to talk about today? What was on your agenda? What else are you thinking about (work related…)? What Else?

The next time you talk to a client or meet with a client, make sure to ask “what else?” you may be surprised by the answer!

Hank started summer off right- with a BATH
Hank started summer off right- with a BATH

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and around the Puget Sound we all know Summer doesn’t start till July 5th. The good news is that June is filled with some awesome networking events throughout the region- here’s a few I’ll be checking out!

Wednesday, June 5th
What Seattle Really Thinks About Local

My friends at TRAY Creative have partnered with the Seattle Good Business Network on this event. It looks really interesting, I’m excited to check it out. And the fine folks at TRAY gave me a discount code- email me if you’d like it!

Culture @ Work

My friend Jimmy at turnstone did a great job with his first Small Talks, and from the looks of this lineup, I know this one won’t disappoint either! Always great food & drinks, and good people!

NWEN Breakfast Buzz

You know how much I love NWEN breakfasts. Great networking, great people, great inspiration. If you are a start up, NWEN is the place to be! I actually won’t make this breakfast as I’ll be heading to Oregon for Father’s Day weekend (and that’s your friendly reminder that Father’s Day is coming up, a tie is a terrible gift FYI), but as always it’ll be a GREAT breakfast!

eWomen Network Luncheon

As most of you know I’ve been a big fan of eWomenNetwork for a LONG time and the speakers scheduled in 2013 do not look to disappoint! If you can’t join the luncheon but want to check out eWomen let me know, they have smaller events throughout the month.

Newsletter Timing

05.30.2013 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

my newsletterI talk a lot with clients and others about having a newsletter. A consistent form of communication with your network to let them know what you’re up to and give them a “taste” of the method to your madness. I just sent out my May newsletter and started wondering what time of day and day of the week had better results. There is all sorts of data out there about when to send a newsletter and who reads what, when. But the fact of the matter is, it depends on your audience and target market. Start playing with it.

Here’s my 2013 stats:

January Newsletter: sent Wednesday at 9 AM had a 27% open rate

February Newsletter: sent Wednesday at 9 AM had a 25% open rate

March Newsletter: sent Thursday at 9 AM had a 24% open rate

April Newsletter: sent Wednesday at 12:30 PM had a 28% open rate

May Newsletter: Sent Thursday at 12 PM, so far at 29% open rate (the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend)

No matter how long you’ve been sending out your newsletter take some time to play around with the time of day and day of the week you send it. you might be surprised by the results, or they may stay relatively the same. But it’s good to change it up every once in a while!
