Welcome to Edibles Advocate Alliance’s (TM) Sustainable Marketing Solutions!

We are here to begin your inbound marketing with our Partner’s Quick Start Guide, which is designed to help you set up our powerful software and begin applying it by creating great content. This will be what feeds into your traffic and leads.

As you work through the Sustainable Marketing Solution’s Quick Start program, you will be consulting and discussing your media strategy with your Inbound Marketing Consultant (IMC) and Emily Brooks at the Edibles Advocate Alliance, who will guide you and help make sure you are successful.

It's time to get started with our Sustainable Marketing Solution. The five steps below will set you on the path.

·  Step 1 - Determine Your Timeline and Resources

Inbound marketing takes time and effort. Once you're up and running, you can execute in a few hours per week. But during onboarding, you'll need to spend more time. The Edibles Advocate Alliance offers a myriad of options for assisting you with your Sustainable Marketing Platform.

How much time are you planning to spend in the coming weeks? How fast do you plan to move through the program?

Each software module takes about 4 hours (3.5 hours of setup & preparation for you, .5 hours of consulting on the phone with us about your goals and ideas). The whole program takes 20-25 hours. That means if you're planning to put in 4 hours per week, the program will take you 5-6 weeks.

Additionally, what resources from your company will be participating? Are there representatives from the Sales team that should be involved? Are there additional users who will need to know how to use these Sustainable Marketing Solutions? Who will be responsible for technical changes to your website? You might want to have different members of your organization present on some calls as you cover different material.

·  Step 2 - Review Quick Start Roadmap and Schedule Kickoff Call

Emily Brooks will contact you to schedule your kickoff call. During this important call, you and your IMC will cover various topics detailed in the Kickoff & Strategy Consulting Session Agenda.

If you want a little preview of the topics you'll be going through as you learn more about inbound marketing, here's a chart that shows your roadmap through the Sustainable Marketing Solution’s consulting process.

·  Step 3 - Set Up & Learn with Edibles Advocate Alliance

Once you've had your orientation and strategy call with Emily and your IMC, you can go through each of the setup guides in the Overview area of HubSpot, and learn more about each tool and the setup required for each one. After you complete each quick start section as your homework, you will schedule the next call in the series.

·  Step 4 - Receive Professional Certification

Customers who successfully complete all eight consulting sessions will become a Certified Professional! This special certification is reserved for the savvy marketers who complete the entire program. Certified professionals receive a certificate and special mention as inbound marketers who really get it, and are growing with the Sustainable Marketing Solution's software.

·  Step 5 - Continue to Learn and Engage

There's always more to learn and try, and the Edibles Advocate Alliance is there with you every step of the way.
