Join the Chamber for our first Grow Seminar of 2024: How to Bootstrap Your Digital Marketing

Marketing doesn’t have to be difficult, time-consuming, or expensive. The reason so many businesses struggle with digital marketing is that they don’t have a strategy. They post without purpose then hope and pray for reach and engagement. Truth is, what worked on social media five years ago doesn’t work the same today.

In this workshop, Chris Burns, Chief Strategist at Lux Level Media, will help your business build a robust, yet simple strategy. He’ll highlight all the current tactics and trends and show participants how they can generate amazing reach and sales organically. Topics include social media, Google My Business, content creation, ChatGPT and digital advertising, plus plenty of time for Q & A.

'How to Bootstrap Your Digital Marketing' will be held on January 10 from 8 - 9:30 AM at Community First Credit Union in Neenah. This seminar is free for Fox Cities Chamber members. Non-members are welcome to attend for $25.
