Descriptions of each topic follow:
Marketing with the Technology of Today and Tomorrow
We were just getting used to the Internet, when suddenly we are bombarded with new technologies and a changing communications paradigm. How do websites, online communities, podcasts, print ads and TV come together to become part of an integrated marketing message?
This presentation looks at changes in communication and how the marriage of traditional marketing venues with today’s technology will help you reach the buyers of today and tomorrow. We will look at specific ideas that you can take home and implement immediately.

Cost Effective and Creative Marketing
Effective marketing can be daunting. The cost of creative alone, from photography to brochures to home show booths can be more expensive than the actual media buy. This program looks at how a business owner can mitigate the creative costs through careful planning and employing economies of scale.
