One of the funnest things about working online from home is meeting the people you’ve met online in person. It’s cool to finally see who you’ve been exchanging ideas with, working with and talking with through the computer. Sure, video is great and there is something to be said for all the convenience of Skype and other platforms like that, but nothing will ever replace human interaction. The cool thing about the internet is that it gives you a great introductory platform that you may have not otherwise ever had. I know for a fact I wouldn’t have gone to China this summer or Canada last winter, but through the magic of the internet, I was able to meet some pretty wonderful people from all around the world.
Just this past week, I was able to meet up with three of my new found internet friends and it was pretty cool! As you know, I’ve been pretty heavily involved within the Solavei community and promoting their phenomenal mobile service and business opportunity. This past week, I was fortunate enough to meet with a couple really cool people on my Solavei team to go to a local university and hand out some flyers to spread the word – you know, do some Grass Roots Marketing.``
Get off the Computer – Grass Roots Marketing
A marketing campaign is defined on ivestopedia.com as specific activities designed to promote a product, service or business. A marketing campaign is a coordinated series of steps that can include promotion of a product through different mediums (television, radio, print, online) using a variety of different types of advertisements. The campaign doesn’t have to rely solely on advertising, and can also include demonstrations, word of mouth and other interactive techniques.

The last part of the definition or description of a marketing campaign holds especially true. There is something to be said for grass roots marketing efforts. So, we left the comfort of our desks behind the computers we’ve grown so fond of and marched out into the world armed with graphically enhanced flyers and an attitude and determination that hasn’t been seen since… well, for me, since the last time I did this…lol. No, just kidding. I think it’s super important to get out of your comfort zone every once in a while.
It’s important to get out there and introduce yourself, your product and/or service and share your story. This does a couple things that you can’t do with a computer or online marketing campaign:
You get to talk with people face to face.
Sharing your story with others on this level adds personality and sense of realism to the whole campaign
It provides a motivational aspect; perhaps a sense of renewal or adds an element of excitement because it’s something a little different than what you are used to
Provides great team interaction
