Case study: Blue Zone Marin

Growing a new coaching practice

How I developed branding and marketing strategies to quickly help a client build a thriving coaching practice.

Blue Zone Marin was building a new coaching practice and looking to establish an effective online presence and ecommerce platform.

THE GrowingREACH PLAN

MY THREE-PHASE APPROACH TO GROWING A THRIVING THERAPY PRACTICE:

REACHBranding

I breathe fresh air into your private practice by defining a professional brand that feels like you. More than a tagline, logo, or color palette, a brand is your ethos. Let the world know who you are, and attract your best-fit clients.

N

brand purpose

I first identified their brand purpose to understand the “why” behind their coaching practice.

N

ideal client

By developing their ideal client avatar, I was then able to create focused marketing strategies to drive engagement and client retention.

N

brand promise

I then focused on their brand promise to craft an outstanding client experience which builds loyalty and drive business.

N

brand identity

I created a compelling logo, tagline, typography, and colors to reflect their brand which drove their website design.

REACHWebsites

I develop high-converting WordPress websites and write your SEO-optimized website copy that captures your voice, attracts your ideal clients, and creates the foundation for a powerful marketing strategy.

N

content

I wrote the SEO-optimized website copy to connect and resonate with their ideal clients, drive engagement, and maximize workshop sign-ups.

N

Images

I hand-selected images from their curated selection to create a cohesive story throughout their website leading to relevant and specific calls-to-action to increase client retention.

REACHMarketing

I offer personalized support to help you clarify your niche, build an effective marketing machine, and grow a thriving practice.

MARKETING COACHING

I coached Blue Zone Marin on how to clarify their niche, market their fun and relationship skill-building workshops, and target their ideal client through an ongoing marketing campaign.

“I’d hire Cris again in a heartbeat.”

The investment was completely worth it. As an entrepreneur (and mom-preneur), I was starting at the very beginning with my own ideas and vision but lacking the know-how for implementation. Cris thoughtfully and skillfully guided me in the process, and the outcome was perfect. Cris is responsive, easy to work with, and efficient.
