TGIF workshop offers marketing advice

SANDPOINT — “Small Budget, Big Buzz” is the upcoming workshop in the TGIF Workshop Series presented by the Bonner Business Center and hosted by the Chamber’s Business Development committee.

Launched in 2009, the series consists of monthly 90-minute workshops to support business owners and their employees and is made possible by sponsors Aaging Better In-Home Care, Horizon Credit Union, and Holiday Inn Express & Suites.

In this next workshop, instructor Jennifer Leo, owner of GraphiComm Inc., discusses how to promote business without breaking the bank – how to craft the marketing message, produce effective marketing materials, pros and cons of social networking, what advertising can and can’t do for you, and advertising vs. publicity.

The workshop will be on Friday, March 19, at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites from noon to 1:30 p.m. Reservations must be made by March 18. The cost is $15 for chamber members and $20 for non-members.
