From Scattered to Streamlined: Stop Fighting Fires and Start Marketing Your Business
Ally Piper, Brighteyes Creative

As a small business owner, you're being pulled in a million different directions and probably feel like you need to change your title to firefighter. And most often it is your marketing and growing your business that suffers as a result. Plus there are a lot of options available when marketing your business that make choosing the best method for you seem overwhelming.

Regardless of whether you are a start-up, running a six-or 7-figure business or somewhere in between, there are marketing essentials you need to know. During this info-packed session, Ally will help you get clear on who your people are (target market), share what you need to do to consistently stay in touch with them and walk you through the steps to streamline your marketing.
