Marketing the Alexander Technique
Promoting the benefits of the Alexander Technique
Why aren’t people more aware of the benefits of the Alexander Technique?
How can we meet people where they are, to explain what we do in a language they understand?
How can small changes to your business approach co-create financial, social, and environmental value?
These are some of the questions Rachael will address in her 50-minute talk plus Q&A. Focusing on how we can collectively promote and market the benefits of the Alexander Technique. This informative and reflective session will be structured into three parts.
- Finding your feet to understand the basics of marketing theory today.
- Breathing with ease when you promote your business to avoid overwhelming potential new clients who are likely to tune out.
- Balancing the head and neck of your business. A reflective exercise to align and focus the two most important assets that will improve the health of your business.
Having been instrumental in the STAT rebrand, Rachael understands the essence and key challenges of marketing the Alexander Technique in the modern day, digital-first world. With over 20 years marketing experience and a small business owner herself, she takes candid, coaching and caring approach. Sharing useful tips to grow your business, while collectively promoting the benefits of the Alexander Technique in simple and effective ways.
Rachael Sullivan will be introduced by our own Opening Night host Lee Warren
