Stage 3: Market & Price

Overview and Objectives of this stage:

Myth: You have to have your entire workshop developed before you market it.

Not true! However, you do need to have the following critical pieces in place:

  • Foundation - Purpose, target audience, learning objectives and key takeaways. This provides the framework for your marketing copy. Check out Set Direction stage to create the foundation.

  • Overall delivery format (e.g. Single Workshop, Teleclass, Workshop Series, Retreat). Check out the Design & Develop stage to identify your overall delivery format.

After defining this critical information, you are ready to price and market your workshop.

Pricing your workshop, seminar, teleclass or retreat can be very challenging for some. The objective of the Price stage is to solidify what you will charge participants and define any promotional strategies you will utilize (e.g. early-bird registration or 2-for-1).

The objective of the Market stage is to secure space for the workshop, create your marketing copy, identify your marketing campaign and market your workshop to your target audience. Marketing it sooner rather than later will create the momentum for you to complete development and will minimize analysis/paralysis.

Don’t wait to market your workshop until you have every detail completed!
