Marketing Matters Enrolling Now!!
Marketing covers a broad number of topics in the areas of design, strategy, and technology. Under the Marketing Matters umbrella, the JWBC is able to offer a variety of workshops and events aimed at enriching the education of the business owner with modern, implementable tools.
The topics of brand development, marketing strategy, public relations, website development, social media, and much more are covered as participants are guided through the development of an immediately executable marketing plan unique to their projected business goals.
Ideal participants are aspiring and existing women business owners.
All classes are Wednesdays, 9:00 a.m. to noon, in the BBVA Compass Bank training room, located inside the JAX Chamber, 3 Independent Drive, JAX 32202. The only deviation will be November 14, we will meet from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Hadlow Board room on the third floor, due to internal room availability. Dates are:
- October 24
- October 31 (Happy Halloween!!)
- November 7
- November 14 (time and room change, this week only, see above)
- SKIP the week of Thanksgiving
- November 28
In addition to class time, you will each get a private, one–hour, one-on-one with our facilitator. With her help you each will develop a 90 day marketing plan so you can step into 2019 prepared to start the year off with a bang! You will be assigned a mentor at the end of the program for three months, with the expectation of six hours of counseling over that time period.
One last added perk, tentatively we will be doing a video shoot December 5, where each of you can do a pitch for your business. It will be edited and you will each receive a 30 second video clip you can use on your website or in social media.
Cost: $200 per person. If you need a payment plan, do not register online, but contact Kathy Bolesworth, 904.366.6633, directly and we can work that out. Otherwise, the link to register and pay is https://tinyurl.com/MM102418
I hope you will consider joining us. As a former participant said this morning, “It is worth every penny!”
