Top events to attend this small business month
October is small business month across Canada. This means an extra push from chambers and business networks to provide you with support to help your business flourish and an overall push to promote shopping locally. We have compiled a short list of events, workshops, and opportunities that we think can benefit you the most. So without further ado, here are our top 'must engage' events this small business season:
6 Ways to Find Relevant Content for Your Social Media Audience
Sharing interesting, relevant content is the golden ticket when it comes to social media success. Without it, even your most loyal Fans and Followers may lose interest and abandon you.
Measuring the ROI of Social Media Marketing
Is it working? That is the question every business owner should be asking after investing time, budget, and resources into their social media marketing efforts. Are you getting a return on your investment?
Yesterday’s Customer Journey, Today’s Marketing Tools
Small business owners must take heed that they needlessly continue to lag behind their larger competitors when it comes to their online presence. In fact, a Basekit study showed that ~91% of small business websites are not yet mobile optimized. In a world where more and more consumers are accessing the web via their mobile devices, it’s no wonder small businesses struggle to compete with their larger competitors. The customer journey hasn't changed but the marketing tools certainly have.
Developing Team Culture at Our 3rd Annual Retreat
Team over individual is a core value we hold dear and make daily decisions on. As we have a team spread across British Columbia, how we develop and maintain our company culture has always been a high priority. We do get together as often as possible, but the normal daily office dynamics exist through digital channels alone. The tools available make this quite easy to do (Slack, uber conference, Google Apps). However the energy that flows in a room of like minded people all pushing for the same goals is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
WIN an APPLE WATCH just by networking at SMMastery
That’s right! Just by attending the Social Media Mastery Conference in Vancouver next weekend, you will have the opportunity to win an Apple Watch. To help demonstrate the power of loyalty programs and how iBeacon technology can be used to create and maintain authentic connections with customers, RTOWN is rolling out a real word demonstration of the our Loyalty App at the show.
What we learnt from CIMC 2016
The dust is settling but the ideas are still flowing after the Canadian Internet Marketing Conference last week. This was definitely our most successful conference to date. Our exhibitor booth was consistently full of great conversation with engaged attendees. The Apple Watch giveaway for collecting stamps on the RTOWN Loyalty app was spreading the networking vibes throughout the room (congrats again to @emilyjeanbriggs, taking home the watch).
