SUMMARY:Erik Bunaes presents E-Business for Small and Large Businesses
DESCRIPTION:Do you communicate regularly with your customers? You should. Here’s some easy tools to use for staying in touch with your clients.\n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n  \nWhat are the best tools to get more out of our online marketing? This is a question that we hear on a regular basis. It’s a simple question but one that opens a can of worms. As everyone knows\, there are lots of options when it comes to digital marketing and every company has different needs and goals. There is just no one size fits all solution for every organization. \nRather than learning about any particular tool or service\, we will show you exactly how the online marketing world works and teach you a 5-step e-busines process that works. Within each step\, we’ll show you several tools that work well for small and mid-sized businesses. \nThis seminar is designed for the owners/leaders of new or small businesses that are just getting started on their e-business or online marketing journey. We’ll keep the conversation focused on concrete steps you can take back and put into action from day #1. \n  \nPresented by Erik Bunaes\, President\, Endorphin Digital Marketing® & Constant Contact Certified Local Expert. \n\n  \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE>>\n \n \n \n
