Hello and good afternnon from the Little River Chamber of Commerce, promoter of Little River Tourism. I just read the most interesting article sent to me by Jennifer at the Chamber. Enjoy!
How to Ask for What You Want (And Get It)
by: Chakisse Newton
Can you spot the connection between these three events? (1) The organization for which I serve as board chair received a grant from a foundation. (2) A prospective client gave me ten sales leads. (3) My son taught me how to say, "thank you," in Mandarin.
In case it isn't obvious, the connection is that I asked for all three things and I wouldn't have received anything if I had not asked.
The lesson is clear. If we want to achieve more personally and professionally, we have to learn how to ask for what we want. It doesn't matter what your job title is, or what your line of work is, it's important to learn how to ask. Here are a few suggestions on how to ask for what you want (and actually get it):
1. Be clear on what you really want to achieve.
In my experience coaching others, the number one reason people fail to get what they want is that they aren't actually clear on what they want to achieve. Determine specifically what you want and practice expressing it in a way that avoids any confusion.
Example: Do you really need a meeting or do you just need a five-minute conversation? If only a meeting will do, it affects how you ask. If not, you can be more flexible.
2. Offer options.
If you offer someone a "yes" or "no" choice, you've only got a 50% chance of succeeding. But your chances increase significantly if you offer options.
Example: "Are you available to meet?" is easier to avoid than, "Would you prefer to speak by phone, meet at your office or meet before or after work?"
3. Be clear on your secondary objective.
Unfortunately, you can't always get what you want. That's why it pays to have a backup if you don't receive your first request. Prepare this in advance so you're ready to ask right away.
Example: "You're not available to meet right now? Can we schedule a follow up call by phone?"or "I understand that you're not able to purchase anything now. Would it be ok if I touched base with you occasionally and sent you information that might interest you?"
4. Ask directly.
My father always used to tell me, "Don't beat around the bush," when I gave long explanations as a child. He was right. Give minimum background information and ask for what you want directly. Then give additional information if needed.
Example: "I'm calling to ask for your support for XYZ issue," or, "We recommend that the company invest $500 to sponsor XYZ event."
The above are just suggestions. You'll need to find the style that suits your personality best. The important thing is that you ask. Even if
you get a, "No," your situation hasn't changed. Interested in more suggestions on how to ask for other things? Just ask me.

Here is some information that may interest you:
Libraries have lots for snowbirds to check out
By Steve Palisin
"The Strand’s winter vacationers who seek access to books, DVDs, community programs and computers to make them feel more at home for the season find them at area libraries.
“It is wonderful,” said Briget Livingston, director of the city of Myrtle Beach’s Chapin Memorial Library. She said besides the local population checking out the various programs available at Chapin Library, the increase in patronage from snowbirds extends the library’s reach and its value to the community. “We have started offering computer classes,” Livingston said, “and they are taking advantage of that – anything from the basics of using a mouse. People who have never used the computers are coming to learn.”
Georgetown County Library tallies its highest traffic from winter vacationers at its Waccamaw Neck branch in Pawleys Island and main branch in Georgetown, said Heather Pelham, public service librarian for the system. “Our programs get even more vibrant,” she said. “We have a lot of interested folks checking things out and lots of new faces.”
Pelham called this period from winter into spring “more exciting than ever” with the library system’s continuing events and “one-shot deals” such as the Mardi Gras night. Most programs are free, she said: “That’s the beauty of the libraries.”
The availability of computers and other resources for which people cannot afford magnifies their importance. “With the recession, our library use continues to climb,” Pelham said.
That also lets the public remain active in getting more high-tech, especially through patrons obtaining a password for free wi-fi usage in the branches, and use of computer desks that are “always chock full” of people.
Clifton Boyer, director of libraries for Horry County Memorial Library, based in Conway, said its Surfside Beach and North Myrtle Beach branches – both of which opened in expanded, larger quarters last year – entertain the highest counts of winter vacationers in the system.
Shelley Rideout, branch manager in North Myrtle Beach for almost three decades, said officials there see many “loyal snowbirds who come back year after year.” Besides moving into a bigger site, the library has a 24-unit computer lab and more room for programs, such as free legal seminars.
“They’ve found the new building,” she said. “They blink, look around and go ‘Wowwwwwww.’?”
Rideout said regulars hail from places such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Canada and even a few from Florida. The bitterly cold winter last year also prompted more vacationers to extend their stays, which spurred further usage of the library.
Retirees also have latched on to electronic books, Rideout said, “and they’re walking into the technical future, unafraid. They’re ready to do it.” Popular fiction never loses its lustre, Rideout said, and borrowing of DVD movies stays steady, offering prime pastimes for everyone, especially folks on holiday."
Not only does our area have access to books, Little River also boasts some of the best restaurants and shopping. We also offer fishing, boating and of course, golf. If you need information about current events, tourism, Chamber Memberships, or services in Little River, please be sure to visit www.littleriverchamber.org.
I think I'll visit the North Myrtle Beach Library myself and I hope you will too.

Brought to you by a host of Sponsors, the festival was a huge success. I spoke to Jennifer, the Director of the Little River Chamber of Commerce and here's what she had to say:
"We have received very positive comments. I believe the testament to doing our job as a Chamber in addition to attracting tourists, was the fact that I personally spoke to several long term residents of Horry County who had never been to Little River. One had called me to ask for directions and he is born and raised in Horry County. The mission of the Little River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center is to promote community improvement, tourism and commerce by proactive leadership and community involvement. The Shrimp & Jazz Festival is really a mechanism to attract patrons and “show off” the Little River community. If a percentage of the 5,000 attendees, (both tourists and residents,) come back to visit us on another day, we’ll have succeeded in doing our job."
Held annually on Columbus Day Weekend, the Shrimp and Jazz Fest is quickly becoming the attraction of the year in Little River! Located on the historic waterfront in beautiful Little River, SC this festival provides a family oriented party that is fun for all ages. Entertaiment includes arts and crafts vendors, live Jazz music all day.
This year, there was a drawing for free airline tickets from Myrtle Beach Direct Air and a set of luggage from AAA Vacations. The winner, Mike Williams of Little River is pictured here:

Are you involved with an event?
Are you wanting to use Facebook to promote the event? Facebook Events is one of the most mis-used and misunderstood features. There are basically two ways to create an Event on Facebook: 1) via your personal Profile and 2) via your fan Page.
Learn from this simple Facebook case study.
First, create a Facebook Page for the event. Here is an example – Business In Blue Jeans.
This page went from none to 599 responses in just eight weeks.
The admin of the page knows that other Facebook pages that are tourism or animal related love to have user generated content (UGC) posted to their walls The page admins spend a few minutes each day updating and engaging with folks on related pages. Most pages want others to share their info if it pertains to their target market. Don’t post on somebody wall to self-promote. But promoting a fun event that their target market might find fun and interesting, you bet.
All comments, no matter where posted, are answered. Lots of photos are posted. So long as you consistently provide enough valuable content on your fan Page wall, you can certainly periodically promote the direct link to your event.
Videos are created by the committee and posted as UGC or by the admin.
The net results? A very active page that grew by leaps and bounds.
Cost? Just the time, energy and love of committed committee people.
The event was also posted to the Little River Chamber's site, www.littleriverchamber.org/pages/BusinessInBlueJeans.

Let me share a quick story with you. I traveled the country for 7 months this past year giving presentations and doing research for my book. I traveled in my RV. How did I find my next campground or RV resort? Not once did I use the 2 inch thick book I purchased. Instead, I Googled “Clovis RV resorts”, for example.
I didn’t go to the websites of the RV resorts that came up in the results. Instead, I checked out the ratings and comments. If the rating and comments were positive, I then went to the business’ site to check fees and availability. This is so important for small businesses to realize. I trusted strangers opinions first.
If the comments were strongly negative I moved on to the next listing. Even just slightly negative comments influenced where I would stay and spend my money.
First, understand that you don’t have full control of your marketing. Your customers, and even strangers, are having a bigger and bigger impact. This is important for you to accept because the old way of advertising and marketing are going away.
Check out these statistic on travelers:
•87% said reviews impacted hotel choice
•84% said reviews impacted method of travel
•78% said reviews impacted choice of dining
Source http://www.stikkymedia.com/articles/social-media-and-the-tourism-industry-statistics
If you add up all the facts:
* People trust the opinions of others more than they trust your marketing.
* People can easily see comments and ratings today through an Internet search.
* People are followers by nature.
* No matter how good you truly are, your prospects are going to defer to others when making purchase decisions. It is not fair but that is life.
Now, having said that, what should you do about it?
* Make sure your business is listed correctly in the rating directories like Google and Yelp.
* Encourage your happy customers to post positive comments and give you high ratings. Use signage. Ask.
* Encourage your customers to check-in on Facebook Places and Foursquare. Those are endorsements.
* Make sure that you are listening for your business’ name out on the web. Reshare the positive comments and answer the negative ones professionally. Turn the bad ones around by being proactive.
Take your first action right now by using Google Alerts. It’s free.
*******************************************************
So, bottom line: You don’t have full control of your marketing and the old way of advertising and marketing are going away.
Thank you Jennifer again for the email. I can't wait for the next one.

Each week, the Little River Chamber web site gives me scads of information about things to do, places to go and their efforts to promote local economic development. If your business is not Chamber Member, you are missing out.
The mission of the Little River Area Chamber of Commerce is to provide community leadership in the promotion of economic development, including tourism. Your Chamber Membership strengthens your position on the northern Grand Strand, in the areas of Little River, Calabash, Longs, and surrounding areas by enhancing the visibility of your business.
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn—all these can help you build a community of customers as well as introduce you to vendors and sales prospects. Another way to promote comes from the following article.
by Frank J. Kenny on March 20, 2011
As a small business owner, I am betting you are passionate and deeply knowledgeable about your niche.
You probably know just about everything, humanly possible, that there is to know about it.
You might be a veterinarian, commercial printer, real estate agent, insurance agent, what have you.
The point is that you are the expert (hopefully you have the social proof to back that up) that others can turn to WHEN they need advice or info on your niche.
Did you get that? WHEN they need you.
For example, personally, at this moment, I wouldn’t read the blog of a veterinarian. I have no need.
I am traveling in the country, in my RV, doing research for a couple of books and speaking to business audiences. I did not bring a dog, cat, or even a fish so I have no need, RIGHT NOW, for the info, advice, or community a vet’s blog would supply.
However, at some point, I will have a dog again. Like many people today, I will research that breed online and make myself knowledgeable about it.
Then I will probably come across your blog if you have posted quality info about that breed (insurance agents think buy/sell agreements, financial sales people think annuities, etc….).
I come to you when I have the need.
That is very different from the old marketing model of businesses interrupting us while watching TV or flooding us with junk mail, seeing if we have a need for what they offer.
There are three key points here for a local small business.
* You are an expert in your niche. You never know when somebody, a total stranger to you, is going to need your expertise and become a great customer or referral source. Get your name and info out there now, through blogging, so people can find you WHEN they need you.
* Consider what people are going to search for. In our veterinarian example, I will almost certainly search by the breed. A post about each and every breed you are familiar with gives you a wealth of things to blog about and great search engine optimization. If I am fanatical about dogs, chances are we will meet at a show. Same with lots of other niches.
* I didn’t cover this here (but will in future posts), but when people need a service quick, such a an animal doctor, they turn to Google and type in the city and the expert they are looking for. Here is the Google search for vancouver, wa veterinarian. Notice the star ratings, reviews, and local search map? You MUST MUST MUST make sure your business is found and found in the best light when your potential customers do a search for you. Social proofing is critical.
Consider your blog to be your online world headquarters. Post content that is useful to your target market for WHEN they need you. Share your posts to Facebook and Twitter.
Make sure you are optimized for local search.
You might be in the restaurant, accommodations, watersports, Entertainment, golf, services,etc in Little River. I urge you to contact the Little River Chamber today.
