Doing what you do to run your business is enough to keep you busy all day so several local Marketing Specialists have come together to help! We are small business owners (and Chamber Members) just like you, and are excited to share some insights into marketing, best practices, and little things we’ve learned to help you be better at what you do – and build your business!
- 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.
- 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!
- Valerie Marbach, Digital Marketing Consultant/President, eSpark Marketing WSI: How is your company capitalizing on all the free internet strategies available in order to drive DOLLARS to your business? What are you doing to get your business to stand out from your competition? Valerie will be here to help take the mystery out of SEO and Social Media. She will teach you tips on how to successfully leverage your website and the most profit generating social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter! If you are like one of the many out there confused on how to use Social Media and Google for your business, this forum will be for you!
- Scott Whittaker, President/Owner, Whittaker Webs: Your web presence is your image to the world; does it look like it came out of a “Build it yourself for free” kit or does it represent you in a way that makes people want to learn more… and ultimately buy? Have you spent countless hours trying to make your home-made website function – only to give up in frustration? Have you dealt with web designers who provide too little service – too slowly? Is your website Responsive? Can your customers easily navigate your site on all connected devices from desktop to tablet and smart phones? Learn what it takes to make your website work for you.
- Pam Kelly, Owner, Pro One Media Productions: How many times, given a choice, will you choose to watch a vibrant video online vs. reading another boring article? How often are you moved to take action by the color, music, editing and action of a professionally done video? If you’ve tried to make one on your own, you realize how tricky it can be: lighting, sound, background noises, etc. Let Pam Kelly explain the benefits and fine points of video – and what it can do to positively influence your customers.
Please join us for a panel discussion and Q&A as we discuss these marketing topics every small business owner needs to consider. Free lunch will be provided.
