Summer Small Business Focus: 7-7-7 Web Marketing & More Upcoming Events! 

Our 7 Experts-7 Tips-7 Minutes luncheon on July 14 will focus on Small Business owners who want to grow their business using web marketing. In order to keep both costs and frustrations down, it is essential to have a fundamental understanding of the moving pieces. We hope this presentation will arm non-tech-savvy business owners with useful information in the following areas:

  • What are the various moving pieces to web marketing and how do they fit together?
  • What do you need to know to create the most cost-effective website for your business?
  • What is SEO and does it make sense for you?
  • What is a CRM database? Of the many, which ones make sense for my business?
  • How do I use social media for my business? Which ones?
  • How do I include email marketing in my growth picture?
  • Do I use digital advertising such as Ad Words and Digital magazines?
More Summer Small Business Events:
July 20: Sales Roundtable
July 27: Small Business Owners' Forum on Recruiting & Selection Processes

Chamber Gallery featuring Pamela Dewitt's Reverse Watercolors on Shattered Glass

Pamela Dewitt ArtStop by to see these distinctive arrangements of three-dimensional, radiant color. Pamela Dewitt's beautifully broken and patiently mended glass provides depth and color variations not experienced with the typical canvas. When the glass mingles with the changing light, it subtly transforms, interacting with the viewer just as it was intended to when it was artfully created at the hands of the artist.
