Friday Forum-Marketing Your Biz to the Max!

You own a business… but now what? Have you thought of everything you need to make it profitable? Or, worse yet, are you trying to do it ALL yourself?

Doing what you do to run your business is enough to keep you busy all day (and probably most of the night too…). And still, sometimes there are things that you either can’t get to or have not considered… some are small and others are must-haves.

Several local Marketing Specialists have come together to help. We are small business owners (and Chamber Members) just like you, and we will be sharing our insights into marketing, best practices, and little things we’ve learned to help you be better at what you do – building your business.

Please join us for a panel discussion and Q&A as we discuss topics every small business owner needs to consider. Lunch will be provided. 

Brad Beller, Owner of Signs By Tomorrow – Scottsdale: Ever ask yourself “where did all my customers go”? Is your signage working for you? People in business know that no one made a lot of money by being the best kept secret. Find out how your sign can be the best (and worst) marketing employee on your payroll. Learn how an effective signage program can help your reach your marketing goals effectively and on budget.

Jackie Wszalek, Owner, Despins Printing and Graphics: Is print dead? Is online marketing the only way to attract customers? Smart marketers know that a combination of both bring bottom line results. Learn some tips to make a print piece that drives customers to your online presence, learn how your brand is reflected in quality print pieces that communicate your message creatively, sustainably and most important - effectively!

Ken Epstein, Owner, Epstein Studios: You realize that visual images are important to your brand and your prospect’s first impression… and you have a great camera on your smart phone; so why not just use that for your website, blog, social media, and all your print and marketing material? After all, getting professional photography is outrageously expensive, right? Wrong. Let Ken explain the true value of impressing your market with powerful and compelling photography. A picture is worth a thousand words – and great photography says more about your business than you know.

Amanda Wigal-Schlosser, Owner Brandables: Maybe you have an event coming up and you want to have something for people to take home that has your name on it: Post-It notes or pens or maybe even a coffee mug… but really, that’s what everyone else is using. Did you now there are thousands of products available to you? Amanda will share some of the fine points of finding the right products for the right market and the right event. Promotional products done correctly will separate you from the competition – not lump you in with them!
