Marketing

My work background is accounting and admin. I work for a very small company (as in the owner and myself), that sells a product. I handle customer service issues, sales, accounts payable, accounts receivable, search for sales leads, basically anything. I am getting a crash course in marketing, and find the whole process rather boggling. Buyer personas, demographics, etc. It's a slow cooker people... how do I know what a vegetarian is looking for in their crock pot??? Anyway, hopefully this will sell and I can actually make some money. That's the problem with getting paid low on an hourly basis, with bonuses being dependent on sales. I need to figure out how to increase sales - hmmm, back to sales & marketing. Great....

Busy...Busy...Busy

Wow!! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted a blog. I actually started one last month, but no time to finish. Problem is a lack of time. My life has become extremely booked of late. I started working full time 6 weeks ago. There goes 40+ hours in the week. As of February 1st I became a full time student. There goes the rest of the week... My schedule consists of getting up at 7, leaving the house at 7:40, arriving at the workplace by 8. I get off at 5, get to the house at 5:20, and break out the books. Evenings and nights are studying as are weekends. Wow, the times goes by quickly when you are booked solid. Hopefully I'll find a schedule that I can live with, but a semester goes by fairly quickly, so it may not be an issue. Husband is also a full time student and my son finds this whole thing rather amusing. Three students in the house... Fortunately, husband is taking Hospitality Management/Culinary Arts so I don't have to worry about cooking dinner. One item off my place!
