"Marketing Month" Coming in October
Three great seminars will be presented during what we are calling "Marketing Month", and the lead off program will be a unique seminar on how to more effectively market to women customers called "Marketing to 'Mom' in the New Economy".  National level marketing experts will share information on how to attract and serve this important demographic. (More details are provided at the end of this newsletter) This seminar is sponsored by Wal Mart, and it will be presented on October 7 from 8 to 10 am. We are also offering a leading edge program on how to differentiate your business from the competition, called "The Key to Business Survival: Making Your Competition Irrelevant". This approach can help you set your business apart and create opportunities for real growth.  The presenter will be Larry Triplett, President of Resource Systems in New Concord and chairman of the Chamber's board of directors. The date for this seminar is October 14 from 9 to 11 am.  Using the web in your business, especially social networking techniques, will be the topic of a seminar  - "How to Use the Internet and Social Media to Grow Your Business" - sponsored by Tech Growth Ohio and the Muskingum University MISST Program. Mary Kaufman of MISST and Sharon Delay of Boldly Go Coaching will be the presenters on October 19 from 9 to 12 noon.  All of the programs will be held in the auditorium at the John McIntire Library. Mark your calendars now and watch for more details on "Marketing Month" at the Chamber.
