Learn how to know who to target and where to put your marketing dollars so they drive people to your business. Register today!

For small businesses, spending money on marketing can feel like a gamble if you’re not confident that you’ll get a return on that marketing investment. 

This workshop is designed to take the mystery out of making marketing decisions. You’ll leave the workshop with a firm idea of how to effectively reach both current and potential customers. This hands-on session will walk you through the process of:

  • Identifying your most profitable customers
  • Defining what they value most about your business – and building your marketing messages around that
  • Determining where to reach them in the vast sea of marketing options

This is part of a two-part series. You are also welcome to join on June 15 for Marketing for Small Business: Low- and No-cost Resources.
