Today our Marketing for Small Business Summer Seminar Series completely SOLD OUT! This is our 4th series in a row to fill to capacity, and we are so excited. Can’t wait to meet the many exciting businesses and entrepreneurs attending. The classes are always interactive and a hotbed for learning.
Our next scheduled series is Marketing for Small Business, The Basics to be scheduled in January 2018.
We’re winding down our Fall Marketing for Small Business Advanced Seminar Series. Yesterday we completed the HOW TO: Constant Contact class.
Participants created an event within this multi-channel platform, learned how to sell items in addition to tickets, created a poll and survey, and finished up with creating a marketing email blast. We shared details on Constant Contact’s database and reviewed how to create different lists with tags.
We are so honored to have been awarded the 2015 All Star Award by Constant Contact. Every year, Constant Contact recognizes customers that have demonstrated exemplary engagement with their audience through email. Less than 10% of all (250,000+) users earn this prestigious certificate annually.
Criteria for the award include higher than average open rates and click-through rates (consistently exceeding 25%), low bounce rates, and high engagement levels that include incorporating other digital interaction such as social media venues.
We are thrilled to have been named a Constant Contact All Star twice since 2013! This is a great representation of our expanding products and services.
