The
New Business Boosters:
How Blogging, Widgets and Streaming Video Can Make Your Marketing
Efforts Take Off
September
24, 2008
Attention-getting
websites, glamorous ad campaigns, beautiful collateral materials,
intriguing blogs, plus many new technology-based tools
.
Let's face it: marketing can be a very complex and expensive
proposition. Many companies, especially young technology organizations
that are facing large development expenditures and small revenue,
cannot afford large expenditures. Yet they need to market their
products aggressively in order to avoid become lost amid the
barrage of promotions faced by the typical prospect.
Choosing
which combination of old and new marketing tools to use for
a specific marketing campaign has become very difficult. Each
tool has its benefits as well as its costs. Each works better
in some environments than others and various combinations typically
work better than individual selections.
This
Impact! Meeting will take a real-world look at three of the
most powerful emerging techniques: Blogging, Widgets and Streaming
Video. We will hear from three experts in these techniques to
get real-world experience on what the techniques are, what they
can accomplish and how best to use them.
During
the first part of the meeting, each of the three panel members
will describe their personal experiences with one of the three
marketing techniques. The second half will focus on audience
participation. They will have a chance to ask follow-up questions
of the speakers. They will also have the opportunity to share
successful (or unsuccessful) experiences they have had while
implementing low cost marketing plans.
So
please join us on Wednesday, September 24 for this valuable
program. Learn how you can use these new tools to help you create
powerful, yet cost-effective marketing programs and share your
experiences with others at the meeting.
