Hello Nick, my name is Charlene Britt, and I've recently stepped into the role of Market Manager and Community Garden Administrator in Snellville, Georgia. We have a fantastic farmers market and community garden that runs year round. My background is in hospitality, but I've always been passionate about promoting a healthier lifestyle through clean eating and staying active. This role feels like a perfect fit for me since I practice what I preach and want to use this platform to educate our community on the nutritional and economic benefits of supporting local farmers and artisans. I'm eager to connect with my target audience, share upcoming events, boost visibility, provide valuable content, engage consumers, and ultimately attract more visitors to our markets.

My husband and I have a beautiful blended family of 5 incredible children, 2 amazing daughter-in-laws who so graciously brought into this family the most cherished gifts anyone can ever receive our 2 precious granddaughters Rebecca and Emberly. Oh and our family would not be complete without crazy, sweet Sadie, our black lab border collie who loves us all unconditionally.  Doing life together is what we do best, Sunday Funday family dinner, game nights, beach vacation and skiing adventures are just some of our guilty pleasures.

I sure that was plenty of insight into who I am and what I aspire to do.  I look forward to any suggestions, recommendations or resources to assist me in my endeavors!

Grettings @user34557 

Kudos on taking on the responsibilities of being both Market Manager and Community Garden Administrator. Your dedication to promoting better well-being and showing support for nearby farmers and artists is truly admirable.

Based on your sharing, it appears that your sincere passion and individual dedication to maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle will be well received by the community. Here are some recommendations to help you begin:

1. Leverage Social Media: Share the stories behind the farmers, artisans, and even specific products at the market. T

2. Community Engagement: Hosting workshops or small events (e.g., cooking demos, gardening tips) can draw in both regular visitors and new faces. These events can also highlight the nutritional and economic benefits of buying local, which you’re passionate about.

3. Email Campaigns: Sending out regular newsletters can help keep your audience engaged and excited about upcoming events, market updates, and seasonal recipes. By including personal anecdotes, such as sharing your family traditions or Sadie's adventures, you can make the newsletters feel more relatable and inviting.

4. Collaborations: Partnering with local fitness groups or schools could widen your reach. For instance, organizing family-friendly activities or challenges around healthy eating could be a great way to involve the community, especially with your focus on promoting an active lifestyle.

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!

Best regards,

Paul great to have you here! thanks for sharing your background and marketing angle. How long have you been using Constant Contact? Sounds like there are a number of great ways to use it with your membership and board and prospective members. Is INCOSE specific to CA or are their chapters in other states?

P.S. fun fact my father was an engineer in the Army

HI.

My name is Laura. I am the Director for Children and Family Ministry for a church. I am fortunate to have a Committee that worked together to decide on and design a logo for our ministry and a look for our newsletter. Constant Contact allows me to  simply click "copy" on last week's newsletter, and I can either keep last week's content or delete and add new content. I just watched the challenge videos 1 and 2 and I have learned so much. Both experts were very on point with the info I was looking for. Now I was wondering if there are trending optimal times when people open their emails during the day. Thanks for this series!

[Chris-S]

Hey Laura! So happy you're here with us. Glad you're enjoying the challenge so far! We've got some more awesome weeks ahead and I can't wait to see you there.

Hi- I am Kim.  My husband and I own Stumpy's Hatchet House in Fall River, MA.  We are part of a franchise and Stumpy's is the original indoor hatchet throwing venue in the U.S. which is pretty AXEciting!  I pretty much wear all the hats for the business and try my best to stay on top of things especially with marketing on social media.  But it is easy to drop the ball.  My hope is to try to work smarter and not harder and am looking for tools to help me in that.  I am also a mom of 2 (one grown the other 16) so have a lot to juggle.  So hello!  And forgive me if I don't get back to this conversation quickly.

[Chris-S]

AXEciting, I see what you did there 😂

Welcome to the community; you should check out our Ready, Set, Send challenge, currently running. It’ll give you great exercises and help improve your marketing strategies.

Best to you and your family!

Hi Guy! Thank you for sharing about your business and personal life. I think this is great! I am very intrigued by the idea of a paper straw that can last 2 weeks in any hot or cold drink.

Especially, it sounds like you've been in business for quite awhile and it's also a family operation, which is very cool to see. I think you'll offer a great perspective to other users on the Community. Welcome!
