UPDATED – 12/11/11
I’ve been traveling around a lot this year speaking, presenting and working with agencies across Texas and Africa. Yet, it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything in Abilene– where I’ve invested a lot of myself.
So, I was considering scheduling one of my social media workshops locally after the holidays passed. As my early 2012 schedule started getting really busy, I began reconsidering. And I decided that it was time to offer the workshop now so that orgs could be thinking about effective social media use before the new year began– while in that dreaming and planning stage that comes as we end one year and begin a new year.
It is also time to take some of my own advice: try something new and see if it works.
That was a recurring lesson in the webinar series I completed last month. I offer lots of ideas and really try to challenge organizational leaders to try something new and lead on. Now I’m trying my own medicine by offering a flash sale on a workshop!?
For those new to flash sales, these are limited-time sales that are often discounted. In some cases, a minimum number of sales must be made for the item to ‘tip’ and become a real deal. I haven’t heard of a flash sale on a workshop before, but I heard myself saying, “Try something new and see if it works.”
You can learn more about my first flash sale and register for the Igniting Impact with Social Media Workshop to be held in Abilene on December 16 here.
It’s a discounted fee (only $35!) with an opportunity to bring a co-worker at no extra charge. And, only 15 registrations will tip the sale! But, time is already running out. The sale must tip by 5:30 p.m., Friday, December 9. Register now!
UPDATE: The sale did not make, but several signed up and others encouraged looking for a new date because they couldn’t do that date. Maybe I will.
