Being “mindful” means that you are conscious or aware of the present moment. Although we don’t often hear about mindfulness in business, it’s very important when it comes to your marketing and website. Why? When you’re mindful of what you’re creating you consciously choose how you want someone to feel when they interact with your business. This gives you more likelihood of creating a customer out of a visitor. A mindful marketing plan and website design include choosing language, imagery, colours, and fonts to set the tone for the experience your potential clients have with your business. Join Paul and Jillian to learn how to create a mindfully-designed website and marketing plan for your business!
