Marketing, Networking & BBQ!

One of my favorite aspects of small business ownership is the flexibility to be able to do things out of the norm, away from the daily routine, while hopefully bringing value to clients and prospects. Our quarterly Lunch & Learns are a perfect example of this. Over the past two years, we have had the opportunity to explore the latest in marketing trends from social media to location and mobile marketing and all things in between. We’ve received great feedback from our attendees, and have tried to tailor our programs to help meet their needs. And of key importance for me, we’ve had fun doing it.

Being a borderline “ham”, I always enjoy the role as a presenter. On other occasions when we bring in guest experts, I find equal pleasure in playing host to our many guests. Next Thursday, March 29, I have the pleasure of welcoming back to Little Rock my favorite Bostonian, John Foley, Jr. John was with us just last June, but so much has changed in these past 9 months that we’ve asked him to come back for an encore presentation. He will be presenting his “State of the Union” of social media and mobile marketing. Here are just of a few of the challenges and questions he will be addressing:

Are the social and mobile channels actually working for marketing efforts?
Are customers and prospect benefitting from all the available mobile interaction?
Are businesses actually improving revenue by spending more money in these areas?

You may be familiar with some of the topics, and some may be completely new to you. Either way, I guarantee an informative, entertaining 90 minutes chock full of marketing takeaways. Throw in a catered lunch, it is the best $10 business value in town.

If you are not familiar with John, or want to hear a little more information, take a look at this video:

So if you are involved in marketing, or enjoy new trends and technology, or are looking for a networking opportunity and a great lunch, please join us on March 29th.

I look forward to seeing you next Thursday.
