SMART Marketing Techniques for Small Business

 

Tired of flinching when someone says the "M" word?

Are you done with competitors kicking sand in your face?

Marketing doesn't need to be a mystery! All it really is is a collection of techniques and tools that can bring you more customers if use them correctly. SMART marketing is about knowing which tools are likely to be the most effective for your business and budget. Ava will teach you how to figure out who your customers are and how they are the most likely to find out about your business. She'll also show you guerrilla marketing tools that are inexpensive, even free, ways to get the word out about what you do and how good you are at it. Finally, Ava will help you start a marketing plan so you can create the constant stream of new clients you have to have to succeed.

Ava Stevens, creator and course leader of this class is a true marketing wizard as well as an interesting and dynamic teacher. Building on a long career as a award winning figure skater she's worked in advertising for the Columbian and as a marketing consultant. She currently teaches marketing at Portland State University. Find out what the smart kids are learning!

Past classes have sold out!   Attendees will receive copies of all seminar materials before class. Following the class, you may make a free mentoring appointment with a SCORE Mentor so you can get your own marketing underway.

Whether you are just starting a business or already have one, you will find this class well worth the small investment.
