6 Steps for a Successful Marketing Campaign
By Alexandra Gibson, Under30CEO
October 31, 2011 | |
Whether large or small, a successful marketing campaign follows the same path. Don't always think of a campaign as something huge and daunting; a group of emails that you send out to your contact list over a month should also be considered a campaign.
The biggest difference in the size of the campaign will be the resources expended-time and/or money-on each step. The lifecycle of a marketing campaign follows 6 basic steps.

Shopping at these locations means supporting friends  and neighbors, school programs, the community, and our local economy. Local businesses also provide support to many fundraisers and neighborhood events, and in turn deserve our support.

Announcing Mature Worker Friendly Employer Certification
| |
2011 Applications Are Now Being Accepted
 Arizona was the first state in the nation to establish an employer certification designed to recognize employers that are Mature Worker Friendly. The Mature Worker Friendly Employer Certification provides special recognition to employers who commit to creating a workplace environment that values experience and skills that mature workers exhibit, and assists employers in attracting and retaining those workers.
The Governor's Advisory Council on Aging, in partnership with Jobing.com, developed a website in 2008 to provide information to employers recruiting mature workers and mature job seekers looking for employment opportunities. Up-to-date listings of certified employers as well as employment opportunities, resources for mature workers and employers, community events and job fairs can be found on the Arizona Mature Worker Job Bank and Resource Website at www.azmatureworkers.com.
There are many benefits for employers that chose to become Mature Worker Friendly Certified, including the free use of the Mature Worker Friendly logo on their materials and individual websites. Employers also receive increased company visibility by being listed on the Mature Worker Website, special rates at job fairs hosted by one of the Initiative's community partners, and recognition as a 'friendly' work environment when recruiting seniors as employees or volunteers.
Employers interested in obtaining the Mature Worker Friendly Employer Certification in 2011 may now apply by going to www.azmatureworkers.com
Due to the limited number of slots for the required employer training program, applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
For more information about the Governor's Advisory Council on Aging, or about Mature Worker Friendly Employer Certification, email gaca@az.gov or call (602) 542-4710

Customer Reviews | |
 What are people saying about the EAC Small Business Development Center?
My comment to anyone who hasn't used the services of SBDC at EAC is this: "If you are a business owner or considering a business venture and you haven't at least once met with the staff of the SBDC at EAC, you are a fool! They will help you with every imaginable (and some you never thought of) business applications you will need to be a successful business person.
The SBDC has helped me with social media marketing, QuickBooks, advertising, and even how to use my iPad2. My advice to you is to get yourself to the SBDC at EAC ASAP! And besides the invaluable knowledge you will gain, did you know that it is all free?"
