A Four-Part Series for Growth-Minded Entrepreneurs. Each class description is listed below!
Class 1 - Creating Customer Personas for Laser-Focused Marketing - Understanding your target customer is key to any successful marketing strategy.

Class 3 - The Significance of Traditional Marketing in Today’s World - Traditional marketing methods—print, TV, radio, direct mail, and outdoor advertising—still hold power in today’s digital-heavy world. These channels can create tangible, personal connections with customers that digital marketing may not replicate. This session explores how and when traditional marketing makes sense, especially when combined with digital efforts, and how to determine the highest ROI for your business.
Takeaway: Learn how to blend traditional and digital strategies, and discover regional and national resources to help execute them effectively.
