Welcome toOn Your Market

This is a professional community for frum women who work in marketing or who market their own businesses. We're here to help each other grow: ask questions, think through problems, share what's working, and make real connections.

Who's here

In-house marketers, copywriters, designers, strategists, and entrepreneurs. You don't need to be a marketer to belong, but every conversation here is about business and marketing.

What's happening

Beyond everyday conversation, members run regular initiatives, like a Member Spotlight on someone's work and AMAs with guests from outside our circles, so there's always professional growth in the works.

We carry forward the spirit of honest, supportive collaboration from our origin group, FFCC. This is our group. Volunteers run it, everything here is a work in progress, and your ideas are always welcome.

Our values

Professional, always

Keeping things professional is what makes this space different and worth your limited work time.

  • Posts are about marketing and business: questions, insights, strategy, tools, clients, pricing, as well as challenges around business ethics, work/life balance and resilience.
  • No politics, no religious debates, and no personal or household topics.
  • Simchas and major life news are welcome in #simchas-and-milestones.
  • Need something personal that only this network can help with (say, a contact in another country)? Start your post with NBR (not business-related), keep it to one post, and ask for replies by DM. We're trying this on a limited basis.

TL;DRAll conversations should directly advance your business goals. NBR is for the rare personal ask.

Show up and contribute:
everyone has something to share

This is a group for active members. The more people participate, the more valuable it is for everyone, and letting others get to know you helps them keep you in mind for opportunities. Everyone has insight and value, wherever they are in their journey.

  • Comment, share, suggest and opine as much as you can. You don't need years of experience to contribute, or to help someone with a valuable connection from your circles (like a relative in a specific industry).
  • Keep your Directory profile current so people know what you do (Directory coming soon).
  • Business owners: you're in a room full of marketers who have rich and varied experience. Get helpful opinions.
  • When giving feedback, the goal is always to help the person. Be honest, but be kind. Be sure to make everyone feel respected and valued.
  • Ask any question. Someone else is wondering too.

TL;DRShow up, chime in, keep your profile current. No hierarchy here. Ask, answer, and help the person.

What's shared here stays here

We want this to be a safe space to share struggles and successes. That only works if everyone can trust that their words stay inside the group.

  • Don't share posts, screenshots, the Directory or resource library outside the group.
  • Refrain from sharing direct quotes with people outside the group, even compliments. What sounds like high praise to you might come across differently to the person it's talking about.

TL;DRNo screenshots or forwards. Ask before you quote.

We cheer each other on, and promotion is free

We're happy to see what others are working on. A fellow member's win is something to celebrate, not competition. That's why promoting on the Bulletin Board is always free.

  • Share your course, product, service or event in #bulletin-board. Please don't pitch in other channels.
  • Showing up only to promote feels spammy, goes against our mission, and rarely works anyway. People respond to people they know. Be active if you're going to want to promote.

TL;DRPromote in #bulletin-board, free. Be a participant first.

Resources

Each initiative is led by a volunteer, and the details are in the channel description. If you'd like to help run one, or start a new one, reach out. We have a wish list :)

Jeeves, our resource and sample library. Jeeves, at your service! Share the resources you've used and benefited from; for opt-in resources, post the original opt-in form. Slack only keeps 90 days of messages, so if a thread is worth keeping, add it here. Updated monthly by Sarah Wirtzberger.

With thanks to Ruchy Weinstock, who created it, and Dafna Breines for her brilliant name and updates.

How our group operates

We're invitation-only and growing slowly on purpose. If you know someone who would add to the room, DM the current moderator with her name and what she does. We're especially looking for experienced marketers and business owners.

We're using a rotating moderator model, changing every quarter. If you've been helping run an initiative for six months or more and would like to try moderating, we'd love to hear from you.

As the group evolves, we may consider using locked channels to create small breakout groups for specific purposes.

In the unlikely event that a member is not following guidelines, she may be asked to leave the group, as per the current moderator's judgement.

This is OUR group. Your ideas and suggestions are welcome anytime.

Check #ask-the-moderator for the current moderator on duty.
