The 2019 Awesome Marketing Planner System
The year you grow your gorgeous business? Because it can happen, you know. You just need a few things in place. It can feel overwhelming at times, especially if you are tired and busy but I can help. Let me explain.
My 2019 Awesome Marketing Planner System is designed for small business owners like you, who are building a business while dealing with whatever life throws at them. I created it because running a business isn't as straightforward as they tell you in the books. Lots of people I work with are trying to grow their business while raising a family, dealing with caring responsibilities, holding down jobs or working around health issues. It's not as easy as it seems, and I get that.
That's why I created this system. It's got everything you need to market and grow your business around your busy life, with help, advice, suggestions and loads of support so you know you aren't doing this alone. Let me tell you what's included, because I know you've been eyeing up the book but there is so much more!
Let's Start With The Book
It's soft-touch so it feels lovely.
You'll understand what I mean when you get yours.
It's got a pen loop and an elastic to keep it shut in your bag.
It's got a pocket full of stickers inside the back cover.
It's got tabs, so you can go straight the month you need and it's got page-marker ribbons so you can bookmark what you're working on.
It's got a flower theme this year, because you deserve flowers so you can look at them every day.
If you're going to grow your business, you may as well do it with the help of the prettiest planner out there!
The Marketing Lessons
The Marketing Lessons
Bought the planner for the first time this year. Started with targets and vision board. Had a home-based business making celebration cakes alongside a full time job (and mum of 4) beginning of the year was looking at 8-10 sales a month, averaging at about £300-500.
In September I got the Keys to my new Bakery and Cafe and have been steadily taking nearly £6000 a month. I would never have done it if i wasn't holding myself accountable EVERY day.
And that's all down to your planner xxx
Kate LedgerThe Monthly Bundles
This is where you will put your monthly targets (I'll help you set them), your monthly marketing focus (I'll help you do that too) and the three things you want to try that month, to see if they work.
You have a section for the most important tasks you need to get done that month, to move your business forward AND a section for things you want to learn that month, to help you build your business.
Then we have a monthly challenge. As you can see, January is DECLUTTERING and I have loads of suggestions and a checklist for you in the online training section.
Finally we have reminders from me to make sure you do the important things like update your targets, schedule your social media and keep up-to-date with the money stuff. I help you all the way. You can do this.
In the front of the Planner book there is a section called MAGIC, which is where all the marketing lessons live. I've included lessons and help on business vision and targets, marketing planning, Super Customers, sales funnels using my Sales Train method, content ideas for blogs, website planning, social media planning and e-newsletter planning.
And every section is backed-up with online training, which you get free with your 2019 Awesome Marketing Planner System.
It's designed to help you market and grow your business in the quickest, most effective, least scary and boring way possible.
I love my Planner! This year it has helped me exceed the targets and goals that I had planned in Jan, which I thought were quite ambitious! I met my whole years sales target by June, I've got 6 out of 7 classes fully booked with waiting lists, I've been on 4 holidays abroad with my husband and love doing videos! (I never thought I would say that)! I also used to hate tracking my numbers and keeping my accounts up to date but having the bum kick to keep on top of them has actually helped me to exceed my targets!
I can't thank Claire enough and can't believe the progress that my business has made over the year!
Fatema MeghjeeThe Weekly Calendar and Planning Pages
There's a section for each day with space to write appointments or things-to-do. I've included the big international calendar events and holidays and I've also added in at least 2 marketing prompts each week to keep you thinking about your marketing.
You also get a reminder to keep hydrated because I know when you're busy, you forget to look after yourself (more about that later) so I've given you water glasses (or coffee cups) to colour in as you gulp, and remind you to stay hydrated.
There's an inspiring quote from an awesome woman, a 'number one thing I absolutely must get done this week' box, a space for notes, a mini-calendar and a SOCIAL MEDIA TRACKER! Oh yeah! So you can see your likes, engagement, reach, fans, subscribers or whatever you're tracking, growing each week. Which they will. Because you're awesome.
I bought the planner for the first time in 2018. My turnover has doubled this year and I have quit my full-time job. I really put this down to the planner. It’s helped me to focus and track every area of my business. Big things planned for 2019 and yes, I’ve already got that planner! Thank you so much.

Put it at the top of your ‘To Do’ list! In 2016 I invested in a £39 ‘diary’ & got so much more! Biz advice, plus a realisation of a long held dream to own a 2nd home in Cornwall as a base to run art holidays. Now working on the holiday package. Magic can happen here
Liz DixonThe Online Marketing Classes & Planner Training
Because there is only so much you can fit in a planner book and because a bigger planner might break your favourite handbag and cause sore shoulders, we decided to add all the things you definitely need into your very own online Planner Training area in my Brilliant Business Academy.
It's somewhere you can log in, find teaching videos to help you make the most of your planner book, help yourself to extra planner sheets, downloadable cheat sheets, colouring sheets and other fabulous goodies and access your MONTHLY PLANNER BUNDLES full of additional teaching, tips and goodies related to that month's marketing challenge in your Awesome Marketing Planner book.
It’s kept me doing my accounts at the end of each month instead of leaving it until I do my self assessment form. It’s helped me tracker my social media figures. It’s helped me plan and set goals that I can breakdown into tasks to achieve them.
Michelle WilkinsonThe Weekly Bum-Kicking Emails
It will arrive on a Monday and will tie in with what's happening that week in your planner book. It's a reminder to look at your book, check our your monthly marketing bundle and get on with your marketing.
I bought the planner after the start of 2018 and admittedly didn't use it as much as I should have done at first. I rebranded and relaunched my business in July this year and by using the trackers and useful marketing tips within the planner, I have refocussed and business is going up and up!
Sammie Jane ByrneThe Gorgeous A2 Wall Planner
I use mine to plan out promotions and marketing campaigns, other people use them to plan out school holidays, events, deadlines. Some people put them on their wall, some cut it in half and stick them inside their kitchen cupboards. It's genius, I tell you!
I love my planner, it gives me focus and I had 6 consecutive months of sales in 2018. Very happy

So, are you in?
Oh, you want to know how much it costs?
Well, it's not just a book. I hope you can see that now. It's actually a 12-month marketing course with lots of help, support and advice that happens to come with the most beautiful marketing planner book in the world, ever.
And for all that it's £44.99 plus P&P at cost
FOR A WHOLE YEAR'S MARKETING COURSE THAT FITS IN YOUR BAG! Bonkers
If you are outside the UK you save 20% as you don't pay our UK VAT (tax) so your shipping might be a little more but the overall cost for this year-long, 4-part system works out around the same, no matter where you live! According to XE.com the rough price for these currencies (after the 20% tax has been taken off but before shipping is CAD $61, AUD $66 USD $47 EU €41)
I actually didn't start using my planner until October as it got misplaced in a house move but once I did, the social media topic schedule kept me on track posting consistently daily. I've already planned my posts to the end of the year! Its also helped me keep track of my orders, followers etc so I can see the increase in numbers month on month! This month I'll be starting on my January plan also to start 2019 off with a bang
Christine JonesI bought the planner mid 2018 not actually knowing whether it was going to help me or not. How wrong I was!!
I’m not the best at filling it all in and going by everything it says but my!.... how it’s made a difference in such a short space of time. I’m more organised, I understand my business more, I’m tracking sales and social media every month and can’t wait to see what I can do in 2019 whilst still enjoying the rest of 2018
Can’t thank you enough
Karen DodgeIt has been excellent for organising my social media, planning and recording information which keeps me focused. The power to tick when a post is done and that's why I bought the 2019 planner
Michelle RyanWhy listen to me?
I know a LOT about small business marketing and I know what you need.
I’m Claire Mitchell - I’m a business teacher and an author. I’ve got an MBA from the prestigious Durham University Business School, I’ve been in marketing since 1993 and I’ve been running The Girls Mean Business and helping women grow their business since 2012, so I know my stuff. Thousands of women have learned about marketing & sales and got GREAT results from my blogs, e-books, classes and courses - they’ve also got more confidence, more focus and a PLAN. What’s not to love? I’ve been featured in the Huffington post, Marie-Claire, Essentials, Closer and the Guardian. I’ve appeared on Ireland AM, The Apprentice UK, on BBC 2 and Radio One. Facebook invited me to be an inaugural member of their Small Business Client Council. I’ve written one book (SOS- Business Mum’s Survival Guide To The School Holidays) and I’ve got several more up my sleeve (well, in my head and on my computer actually) so watch this space!
What everybody is saying about the Planner!
I started 2018 with my vision board in my planner knowing I wanted to go further with my crafts but not sure in which direction. At the beginning of September I opened my own craft shop selling handmade crafts, craft supplies and running workshops. It wasn’t on my vision board but I’ve found the place that feels right. My shop is going from strength to strength and I’m smashing my targets. Bring on 2019!
