How to Prepare for Pitching Your Startup LIVE!

ThePitch-Nov30-featureimage

In November of 2011 I appeared on BNN’s ‘The Pitch’ asking for investment to grow SmartBrideBoutique.com.  Since it aired, I’ve had tons of people asking for advice on how to prepare for similar pitches from in person meetings, or on live television like CBC’s Dragon’s Den.

Power in Numbers: Great Cross Marketing Campaign for Artists

At SmartBrideBoutique.com, we often run contests and promotions with our other blogging friends and websites. With everyone’s visitors, readership and networking combined, our campaigns help to cross promote between brands we trust and are always more successful!

I just came across a fantastic example of cross promotion between artists in the My Owl Barn’s “Owl Lover” calendar project. Back by popular demand for 2012, this collaborative project coordinated by My Owl Barn now includes 45 different artists.

How Does it Work?

Download Your Free ‘Congrats on Your Wedding’ Card

As part of the HP Printer Challenge, the SmartBride team put together a free downloadable template for a “Congrats on your Wedding Card”.

The card also serves as a “privacy please” door hanger for the bride and groom to use on their wedding night. It’s been a fantastic way to spread the word about SmartBride to new brides/potential sellers.  Each time a card is given to a new couple, another bride is introduced to our brand and the best way to sell her now used wedding dress.
