Ask Karen

Hi everyone! I have 2 new projects I am working on. One is a site teaching new small business owners and direct sellers how to establish a presence online, in their communities, and in the public eye. The other is for party plan professionals to share ideas and spread the word about their business opportunities.

Both sites will have Question and Answer areas and I need some questions to get me started! If you have a question about either Social Media, Networking, Publicity or Direct Sales/Party Plan, please ask in the Comments here and leave your name, business and link if it is OK to include it! :)

Thanks! I will announce here when the 2 sites are ready to go public!

Until next time...

    Hi Karen,

    What is a reasonable length of time to expect to see results from social media marketing?

    Best regards,

    Lisa

    Hi Karen,

    This is not on track, but do you have anything in your line, FunFelts, to help a child learn to speak the English language?
    Age of child is 3 years old.

    Thanks for your help.

    Kind regards,

    Lisa

    p.s. You are teaching me loads about social networking online.

    Hi Lisa! Thanks for your question! As to the felts check out the Preschool section http://www.funfelt.com/preschk.html but basically any of the stories which are repetitive, or the felts that use “real life” items such as the food or the playhouse, can be good for labeling and developing vocabulary and language skills. We do not have lessons about learning English but many teachers have found the combination of hands-on and visual learning to be really effective! At 3 years old you can pretty much immerse them in English with lots of demonstration and they’ll pick it up!
    Stories are here: http://www.funfelt.com/boards.html Let me know if you’d like a catalog! :)

    What do you find to be the most effective in networking?

    I noticed that you are amazing at getting radio publicity. How do you go about that?

    I am with Cierra Ashley-Fragrance for Life a party plan company. As I look at opening up new areas around the country what have you found is the most effective ways to do that?

    I find the most effective overall is through our current Advisors but there are some areas I feel we are going to need to approach as a company.

    Hi Karen,
    I have many of your flannel board stories as well a the tapes that went along with the Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Three Little Pigs etc. and I have lost that tape. Do you still sell it as a tape or CD??? I loved it and really want to replace it.

    Thanks everyone for your questions! I am still developing the new sites, so keep the questions coming! I’ve answered the Story Time Felts questions privately but you can visit my business website any time, I have it linked to my name here! Thanks!

    Hi Karen,

    I’ve been unable to find an email address for you anywhere on your sites. My agency needs to hire a blogger to do some blogging on a kids’ activity site (like yours) on behalf of our client, a major packaged-goods company that makes cake mixes, cak frosting, etc. (hint: the initials of the brand are: B.C.)

    Is this something you’d be interested in doing? If so, please email me back ASAP and I will give you all the particulars.

    Thanks!
