Customer Experiences that Build Community
The Art of Belonging is about one secret ingredient that business owners are missing and it’s the same ingredient that your ideal clients are craving: community and the way you make people feel.
Ended
We are living in a world where we are connected to more people than ever before, but as a society we are lonelier than we've ever been. People are seeking a sense of belonging that can only be found through consistent connection over a shared purpose, which is what I call community.
In this book, you will find the guiding principles to create experiences for your customers that translate into raving fans and the most powerful form of marketing.....word of mouth referrals.
This book is written for entrepreneurs looking to create massive impact on the audience they serve. It answers the question of how to build a tribe of people who talk about an experience enough, so that they become the marketing engine.
"A HUGE part of working the program with Katie is cultivating the my business idea. I had this idea growing in my mind, and I didn't know what it was going to materialize into. I had so many different ideas, and I was so inspired by so many things.
But after applying these principles, I was able to really see my big idea in a whole new way. I saw a path and a business route that I NEVER could have figured out on my own. To be honest, without Katie's help, my idea would have just stayed on a piece of paper in my journal forever!
Katie taught be to look into my true self and find what my true values are, while aligning myself with the community that would support my mission.
For nearly two decades Southern California entrepreneur Katie Saffert has been navigating the uncharted waters of the business world. Before her current role as an Experiential Marketing Brand Consultant and founder of Hatched Collective, Saffert owned several businesses in a vast range of fast-paced industries including a tenured career as a marketing and event professional for the action sports brand Quiksilver. With an innate ability to successfully pivot into each new professional challenge she embarked on, Katie quickly established a reputation for unmatched customer experiences that build community and belonging.
Always an unwavering champion for women business owners, the San Diego-based Saffert launched Hatched Collective, a brick and mortar, in summer 2017. The studio for female entrepreneurs joins a number of growing professional women’s communities around the country who aim to foster support and connection for women in business.

We publish under a traditional arrangement and also offer a cooperative track for emerging authors. We believe that books make a difference, that lives and the world are changed by the power of words and images, and that large publishing houses neglect a wealth of good writing.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
