The seminar will provide businesses of all sizes with practical strategies for using marketing to reach customers and grow their bottom line, without requiring a large marketing budget.
Presented by Maria Nelson, President, and Meagan Hardwick, Vice President, of Red Shoes Inc., the seminar will focus on ways businesses can make the most of the marketing resources they already have while identifying opportunities for low- and no-cost marketing.
Attendees will learn how to better understand their target audience, develop a marketing plan with clear goals and strategies, and use digital marketing tools such as social media, email marketing and search engine optimization. The session also will cover earned media opportunities, ways to measure marketing success, and how to adapt marketing efforts based on results. A question-and-answer session will provide attendees with an opportunity to address specific marketing questions.
Nelson brings more than 20 years of marketing and communications experience to the presentation. As president of Red Shoes Inc., she provides focused leadership while helping
guide the company's team and marketing efforts. As Vice President, Hardwick specializes in creating new brands and helping clients navigate complex marketing needs.
