SUMMARY:Season of sharing: Your top 5 tips for marketing in a downturn
DESCRIPTION:Socially Responsible Business Group\n\nThe season of sharing is
  upon us and so is the economic downturn. We'll dedicate the last Meetup of
  2008 to practical advice on how to market your business\, start-up\, nonpr
 ofit\, project\, or cause in a bad economy. \n\nAs the Group's organizer\, 
 I will kick off by sharing my five favorite ways to market any organization
  in tough times. I'll then hand it over to those of you who'd like to do th
 e same! Would you share your top 5 marketing tactics for dealing with the c
 urrent economic climate? After all\, your ingenuity in dealing with the wor
 ld out there is what's keeping you in business and what's making you an exp
 ert. \n\nSo\, I invite you to come and\n\n- Share: we all can benefit from 
 each other's experiences and expertise.\n- Commiserate: you're not alone\, 
 we're all in this together.\n- Socialize: substitute for networking\, which
  we all do all year long.\n- Feast: bring a holiday snack\; hot cider provi
 ded. (Optional: hot toddy after the Meetup at a nearby bar.)\n\nYour first 
 Meetup is free\, then $5 (cash or check). All fees above cost will be donat
 ed to Mercy Corps Northwest.\n\nPortland\, OR  97202 - USA\n\nThursday\, De
