It’s not just about pumpkin spice… it’s about everything nice!
A message from Rhea Allen
The summer has been jammed-packed with family and community events. We celebrated our oldest boy Emerson’s 16th birthday, I enjoyed more than one or two rounds of golf for a plethora of good causes, hit some car shows, enjoyed our epic summer bash known as PowWow, and had more fun than anyone ought to be allowed to have!
My boys are back in school, and while I have enjoyed having them around this summer (and all the fun we’ve had!) it’s nice to get back into a routine, and the “extra” time it gives me to really start digging in deep again, and doing what I love; helping businesses grow!
Fall is many people’s favorite time of the year. I do love how much the color orange starts showing up this time of year, in sweaters, lattes, and fall colors! These aren’t the only things I enjoy about the changing of the seasons. Shocktoberfest is around the corner! We are also getting ready for New Marketing Trends for the Next Year (look for more info, coming soon!), BSU football, and of course hunting season!
I’m honored to be an adjunct professor at BSU again this year, and so grateful for the opportunity that it gives me to help share what I have learned over the past 19 months navigating the ever-changing marketing environment in a pandemic! You’ve got to be resilient, able to look for opportunities and take advantage of them. We’ve embraced many of the “new normals” that this crazy and scary time in history has put on our plate, and I can’t wait to share these improvements, strategies, and tactics with you and your team.
What are you doing differently this fall? With your business, your family, your community? As you shake off your summer colors and settle into something a little more orange for September, make sure that you aren’t just ready for the fall, but embrace it with me as we fall, forward!
