A Showcase of Successful Black Women

Successful Sista Profiles
After creating the Successful Black Business Women page, I received emails from many women who were interested in being added to the list, so I decided to revamp the listing into an ongoing directory of Successful Sista Profiles. For those of you who haven't already reviewed the site, this listing was created to give tribute to the many Black Women past and present who have paved the way for aspiring Business Women of Color. The site is also intended to serve as a resource for entrepreneurs looking to find experienced women in their area of interest for sources of information, inspiration, guidance, or networking. And last but not least, I wanted this listing to serve as a promotional tool for the Sistas listed; an innovative way to share their work with the entire web community.

I will regularly update the Successful Sista Profiles to feature more Black Women, mixing in both well known and new faces. If you are a Black Woman / Woman of Color with a business Big or Small and you would like to add your profile to the listing please review the Successful Black Business Women page for more details.

Successful Sista Profiles was created by Lashanda Henry for the Black Business Women Connect Blog. Official Url: http://bwomen.blackgirlclick.com

Increasing Your Holiday Web Sales

It goes without saying that the holiday season is a great time to boost your holiday sales. Everyone is online shopping taking advantage of the sales and free shipping; spending money that all us entrepreneurs are dieing to make! Given the fact that this is a great time to profit from your online business, I've been writing quite a few black business posts about internet marketing and generating more traffic to your site. And among the feedback I've been getting one fellow entrepreneur made a great point, she basically said that "It's not the traffic I'm focused on, it's turning those clicks into cash."

Beyond getting more online visitors to your site, I'm sure you too are more concerned with making sales. You and me both. It is for that reason that I've been working really hard on several holiday marketing strategies, some of which Jamila White explains in her article: "Seven Tricks for More Holiday Web Sales". I recently came across Jamila's article and thought she did a really good job at explaining some of the key eCommerce techniques one needs to know when trying to boost web sales in addition to drawing in more traffic.

So in addition to featuring this great post: "Seven Tricks for More Holiday Web Sales", I wanted to show you how I have actually put some of these strategies to pratical good use. Perhaps you can find a few tricks that might work for you.

1. My Sites are extra Holiday Special: Multiple Shades of You, Mahogany Momma, and the Urban Gift Guide all feature images and content related to Christmas and the holidays in general. Tip: Want to know where I get all those great photos for my holiday promotions? istockphoto.com - low cost and great quality.
2. Gift Ideas are a great way to promote your products and create quality holiday content, so I created the Urban Gift Guide, which has generated positive feedback. If you don't have products to sell, but you have a blog and use Google adsense, creating holiday posts is a great way to take advantage of those holiday Google ad clicks.
   
3. Gift Certificates, Giveaways, or Discounts are musthaves during the Holiday Season. My Black Business eBook is currently on sale and I am featuring holiday contests on Black Freebies.
4. Last but not least, in addition to regularly posting/promoting my holiday specials I offer other businesses the opportunity to promote on my pages. My main webpage Multiple Shades of You currently features banner promotion of Cocoaprints Greeting Cards and the new movie movie The Perfect Holiday, featuring an all star cast of Black Actors. Those interested in advertising on the msoy network click here for more details.

Don't let the holiday season pass without taking the initiative to boost your web sales. Tell me, what's been working for you?

Ronda Yates - Sunshine Creations Party Planner

Ronda Yates, CEO and founder of Sunshine Creations 4 U, is a decorating/Party planning business designed for those of you who don’t have the extra time, patience or the ideas to plan the “perfect party”.

Decorating parties has been a passion of mine since I was a teenager. I used to decorate for family and friends as a hobby. When the offers to decorate started pouring in, I decided to take my hobby to the next level and open up my own decorating business. It was not easy to start my own business but with my hard work, dedication and the continued support from my family and friends I made it happen for myself. I love my creations and love to see the joy and appreciation on my clients faces when they walk into their event and see what “Sunshine Creations 4 U” has done for them. I decided to name my business “Sunshine Creations 4 U ” because I always considered my self as a bright and bubbly person. I love the sunshine and my decorations were my own creations. The 4 U part was added because everything I do is for the customer because without them there would be no me.

I’m preparing to take my decorating business to the next level and introduce “Sunshine Creations 4 U to the entertainment world. This would be a big step for me, but If I continue to stay focused and determined, I know I can do it.

I’m located in the Brooklyn, NY area. I specialize in Balloon Arches, Birthday parties, Sweet Sixteens, Anniversaries parties, Bridal & Baby Showers, Weddings, Wedding Receptions & more. If you’d like to set up an appointment, contact me at ytssunshine@aol.com or you can view my creations at www.myspace.com/sunshinecreations4u

Ethnic Niche Marketing on YahooGroups

I really like niche marketing on yahoo groups, I've found some of my best Black Networking / Biz Women / WAHM circles on yahoo. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH A TON OF EMAILS IF YOU DO'NT WANT TO... I get my favorite groups sent to my inbox, and for the rest I opt to read them only online, which is a great feature because practically ever day I'm going online looking at my yahoo groups and checking for the messages most relevant to me. I don't usually focus on the number of members, though its nice to be in a group of 500+ members, its also nice to be in smaller groups where you can make stronger connects.

Here are a few of my favorite spots:

▪ Black Women Who Work at Home



▪ Black Entrepreneurs



▪ Sisters in Business



▪ Black Business Owners Network



If you want a complete listing of Black Yahoo Business Groups or more low cost marketing ideas check the e-book:
A Black Online Entrepreneur's Web Guide: Build your Business Online



*Searching on yahoo groups helps, but many of the groups I found through random web surfing becauase the yahoo groups directory doesn't always show you what your looking for if you don't know the right keywords.

hope this helps
