It's all about me!
The other day: something happened on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square that turned heads here at Make Your Mark Towers. No, not a man standing naked for an hour. What got our attention was the sight of Alex Kearns – a 23 year old French and Italian graduate from Swansea University – unfurling his CV on a giant placard.
We could all learn about the art of slick self-promotion from Mr. Kearns. His stunt illustrates how far those with something to sell – whether it’s their skills, their experience, or their business – have to go in order to be heard above the crash and clatter of the competition.
Of course, not everyone setting up an enterprise or business will have to resort – or indeed have the opportunity – to selling themselves atop a well-known London landmark. Nevertheless, it is important for entrepreneurs to remember that for all the importance attached to their idea and product, it is effective promotion that will truly unlock and deliver the full potential of their venture.
There are lots of helpful resources out there. In fact you can begin to master the art of me, me, me right here on the Make Your Mark website. Here you will find tips on all aspects of promotion, from public speaking to press release writing.
We’d love to hear how our readers have promoted themselves: what was the most effective thing you did to promote or raise awareness of your business? Give us the scoop on Twitter!
