Fall Marketing for Smarties Course – REGISTER NOW
With today’s challenging marketplace, marketing has never been so critical. Furthermore, buyers think and research purchases quite differently than just 5 years ago. If you have not changed your own marketing mindset, embraced new social and Internet marketing strategies or simply taken the time to revise your current marketing focus, then now is the time.
Marketing for Smarties is a series of three workshops that gives owners the time, coaching, tools and team to adjust your existing marketing plan, alter your perspective and strategically face business and personal challenges. During the program, business owners receive personal coaching and peer feedback as they actually develop a basic, enduring marketing and sales plan tailored to their specific needs. DOWNLOAD FLYER
The Fall class will be held on October 7th, October 28th and November 18th at the Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce. Sponsored by the Archuleta Economic Development Association (AEDA), Pagosa Springs Chamber, and Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Fall course will be taught by certified MFS Coach and Internet Marketing Consultant, Marcy Mitchell.
As owner of MTECH Business Development (www.mtechbd.com), Marcy has helped many local business owners “cross the digital divide” by providing web design, search engine optimization, and Internet marketing consulting services for the past 15 years. She brings her combined marketing experience and passion for helping local business owners thrive in the new economy to the class.
John Vick, Fatherhood Advocate for the Archuleta County Department of Human Services took the course last year and expressed “The Marketing for Smarties program came along at a time when the Fatherhood Initiative was swimming in circles in search of purposeful direction. We knew very well what we wanted to be accomplishing within the program, we were simply at a loss for how to position ourselves with a consistent and clear message to reach our target audience. The skills Marcy Mitchell taught the Fatherhood team, along with the encouragement and follow-up, helped us to discover concretely what we offer and empowered us to lay a successful marketing foundation.”
The cost of registration is $149.00 for all three sessions. In addition, The Lindblad Group is pleased to announce that they will sponsor a partial scholarship in the amount of $75 for a local entrepreneur to attend Marketing for Smarties this coming session and Shy Rabbit Contemporary Arts will sponsor a partial scholarship for a local artist to attend. Participants must complete all 3 courses to qualify for the scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be reimbursed at the conclusion of the course.
