In addition to in-depth interviews with Solepreneurs and industry thought-leaders, Sola Stories brings you Quick Tips to give you bite-sized pieces of valuable information that you can use to improve your business when you have a few minutes between clients or driving to work. On this first Marketing Quick Tip, listen as Sola’s Chief Marketing Officer, Jennie Wolff, shares some quick marketing tips to help you find fun over fear when marketing your business. Jennie eases us into the sometimes frightening world of marketing and teaches us the importance of knowing how to tell your story.  Fun fact we learn in this episode: The average relationship a woman has with her hairdresser is 12 years, while the average relationship a woman has with her husband is 11.5 years. Your client relationships matter and the only way your clients can build a long-lasting relationship with you is by knowing your story. That’s where marketing comes in.
