The WOW Factor

Your Marketing and Communication Strategies Can Develop the WOW! Factor When you Subscribe to MCEI

Marketing Communication Executives International - (MCEI) Melbourne - is a not for profit association which offers marketing and communication executives; and those who undertake the skills and responsibilities for marketing and communication within their businesses; an opportunity to build a National and International Network and develop winning marketing and communication tactics. MCEI Melbourne provides a WOW Factor for its members through its many CONNECT Programmes

THE WOW FACTOR
•        If you want to improve sales and build your customer base, then you need to know how. MCEI provides information and helps you to develop skills in the area of marketing and communication so that the WOW Factor of your business increases!

•        To make your business appealing to potential clients you need the WOW Factor of ‘fun and entertainment’ You will seldom find an association or network that promotes the importance of enjoying ourselves while we are learning; or running our businesses so that our clients enjoy themselves simply by doing business with us. Fun and entertainment are a big part of MCEI Melbourne and the functions it organises. Members share this fun by inviting their customers, suppliers and business associates, for FREE (conditions apply).

•        We often hear about the importance of fellowship and the brotherhood/sisterhood of members of various organisations – but how often do members actually feel as though they are cared for and looked after by fellow members and the organisation itself? MCEI ‘walks the talk’ – not only amongst the Chapter members but the International brotherhood ties are also very strong. The WOW Factor of networking and brotherhood is all important to members of MCEI Melbourne and the International MCEI Chapters.

•        Various groups organise awards and loyalty programmes to ensure members are recognised and rewarded for their contributions. However, MCEI Melbourne goes a step further. There is a single-mindedness of purpose where all members work towards bringing new members into the ‘fold’ so that we can all help support each other. The more members, the more the organisation can provide. The WOW Factor of reward and recognition is all important in MCEI Melbourne and all members take part in a loyalty programme that sees them having weekends away, going to the theatre, having dinner out, receiving prizes like digital cameras, colour TV's etc.

•        The WOW Factor of wining the annual Marketing and Communication Awards, is that the winner receives a trip overseas to a major World Conference, thus developing their professionalism and networking with members from the other MCEI chapters from over a dozen cities around the world.

•        The WOW Factor continues as members are rewarded monthly for achievements within their business or for working for the good of the organisation and its members.

To help achieve the WOW Factor we have the following Connect Programmes:-

1. MCEI Connect Events
These monthly events are designed so that you go home saying “WOW I had an absolutely fantastic time – I can’t wait for the next one!”

2. The MCEI Award Connection
The annual MCEI Marketing and Communications Awards will see the overall winner go overseas to an MCEI Conference

3. The MCEI International Connection
A delegation of MCEI Melbourne members will travel to the alternative MCEI Asia Pacific Conference and the MCEI World Congress, each year.

4. MCEI Connect the Dots
This programme is designed to help members find the right person/business they want to connect with.

5. MCEI Speakers Connection
MCEI Melbourne will assist members to build their credibility and market themselves as experts in their field, by encouraging them to be speakers at National and International MCEI events.

6. MCEI Connect News
A weekly e-zine ‘choc o bloc’ full of information, promotional opportunities and free product

7. MCEI Student Connection
MCEI Melbourne is developing this connection to assists students of business/marketing/communications via a mentor programme and scholarships.

World Congress in Melbourne

The current president, Barbara Gabogrecan is known in Australia as someone who cares for and provides a voice for, the smaller end of small business. She founded the Micro Business Network and had around 20,000 subscribers flock to her over a 5 year period; she has also sat on a number of Government Committees to ensure the decision makers of the country know and understand the needs of the sector.

Jack Wu, a former Australian Trade Commissioner for Taiwan, keeps in constant touch with the International MCEI Chapters and their Presidents, travelling every year to attend their Conferences. Jack is also well known in Australia as a champion for the Asian community when setting up businesses in this country.

MCEI has at its head, two people who have also ‘walked the talk’ – they know what members of associations need and want and they are ready to make sure that MCEI Melbourne offers a unique product.

In their first year of incorporation, MCEI Melbourne went to Tokyo and put in a bid to host the 2001 World Congress. They won the bid and put on a ‘show to remember’ – what did some of the attendees think? Read their comments:-

“It was fantastic to belong to an organisation that saw the importance of hosting an International World Congress in its first year of existence. With a small committee they put on a week of business and fun events that left the 95 overseas delegates ‘gasping’. From business breakfasts, expos and conference to meeting the penguins, diving with the sharks, feeding the wild rosellas, playing golf, visiting a winery, racing cars around a race track and riding Puffing Billy – the pace was breathtaking and MCEI were the heroes.”
Tina Wu – Solicitor


“I have been involved in many events as an organiser and as an attendee, in many different countries. But the events put on by MCEI Melbourne were designed to be unique, entertaining and ‘mind blowing’. To be able to partake in business as well as being able to watch sheep dogs at work; boomerang throwing; to watch an Aboriginals dance troupe; a Chinese choir; Japanese drum players; Swiss musicians; and a special art show of Australiana silk painting - was a visual extravaganza – but to have all the guests stay at the Crown for a week and develop their ‘brotherhood’ and ‘sisterhood’ ties with each other was a joy to behold. MCEI Melbourne set the standard for all other countries to follow. They became the leaders in their first year, thanks to their executive committee – well done!”
Daphne Spatarel of Expressions

In your first 90 days of Membership if you have found that MCEI Melbourne offers nothing that will either increase your skills; provide information; develop networks; provide a marketing tool to support your specific business or share a sense of fun and enjoyment, then you will be given 100% return of your membership fee.

So what have you got to lose? Nothing…..MCEI Melbourne takes all the risks – you simply have to enjoy the journey!

        •        You will not have FREE access to a marketing tool that will give you a leading edge over your competitors (you would have to pay $299 to access the same programme).
        •        You will remain isolated and will not enjoy the security and warmth of a strong ‘brotherhood’ and ‘sisterhood’.
        •        You will remain stressed and find little joy in working ‘on’ your business.
        •        You will not be able to readily access an International Network.
        •        You will not receive ongoing recognition and reward for what you have achieved.
        •        You will not be able to access the great FREE bonus prizes, gifts and marketing tools that are constantly developed and provided to members.
        •        And you definitely will not experience the sheer ‘fun’ of being a member of MCEI Melbourne!

I hope to be able to welcome you to MCEI Melbourne so that we can all share in the fun experience of building our marketing and communication strategies while sharing a fellowship that is unsurpassed.
