Upcoming Workshops: Ohio & New Jersey

I'm speaking in two Ohio cities, and one city in New Jersey in the coming weeks, and these workshops are open to the public.  Here are the details:

 

First, in Norwalk, Ohio:  I'll be conducting a 90-minute workshop on "Creating a Destination Business" following Main Street Norwalk's attendance at our Destination BootCamp.  If you are short on time, this 90-minute session is perfect.

 

When:  Wednesday, October 27th    

Where:  St. Paul Catholic Church Gathering Space, 91 East Main Street, Norwalk, OH

Cost to Attend:  $20.00, includes continental breakfast

Times:  7:30 - 8:00 a.m. Breakfast, followed by workshop from 8:00 - 9:30 a.m.

Information: (419) 660-8696

 

Then, I'm off to Urbana, Ohio for the workshop:  "Increasing Your Sales and Profits as a Destination Business". In this workshop, you will learn how to use my 14-step Destination Business strategy to increase customer traffic and sales in this economy.  The workshop will be 3-hours long, followed by a 90-minute Marketing Roundtable.  In four and a half hours, you'll walk out with a list of to-do's that can help you in this 4th Quarter and beyond.  This workshop is great for community leaders, too!

 

When:  Thursday, October 28th

Where:  Urbana University, Student Center, 579 College Way, Urbana, OH

Then, I'm off to Boonton, New Jersey.  Boonton Main Street also participated in our Destination BootCamp in Colorado.  Again, this is a shortened workshop, but still filled with information to change your business.

We are in the critical 4th Quarter of the year, and I have several resources for you that will help.

Tip of the Month:  Nothing Fun About Reinvention

If you are a community leader or a business association director, you should realize that many business owners are at their financial, emotional, and creative-thinking limits coming into this all-important 4th Quarter of the year.  When many owners should be gearing up for the big year-end profit push, many will look like they aren't doing anything, and might appear apathetic.

 

If you would like to help these owners, and in turn, help your community or your business assocation, click here to read what you should be doing right now.
