55. Make your Mark!

Happy Tuesday friends! Welcome back to Good Boss land.  Today I wanted to talk about the deeper meaning behind my business' (Coco Studio) tagline: empowering brands to make their mark. After hearing from a few inspiring people at a Perth industry event I got very deep and reflective on the whole idea of 'making a mark'. Today I wanted to delve into all of that by looking at some of my favourite Aussie brands and how they don't just talk-the-talk but genuinely walk-the-walk. I'll also be sharing a few tangible tips on how you can start the inner work of figuring out what mark you want to make (it's not as easy as choosing a pizza topping that's for sure).  This week's recommendations are; How to Run a Profitable Business and Make Money by Chris Do and You're a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero.

49. Customer Demographics and Psychographics

I am baaaackk and so happy about it ♡ Thank you for your patience with me while I took a couple of weeks off to recharge and regain the good BOSS energy that you all deserve.  The topic for today's solo episode was inspired by a few lines that I read in the book The E Myth by Michael Gerber. As I started my research it truly dawned on me how important understanding your customer demographics and psychographics are in ensuring a successful marketing model. I had so much fun learning more about the topic and collating all this research for you! Let me know if you end up creating your own customer models, I know I'm still refining mine right now.
