Online marketing is more than just selling stuff on eBay!
In fact, online marketing has finally come to the forefront, as companies big and small discover the value of shifting more of their marketing budgets online. Online marketers have proven that you can generate more leads and deliver more sales than traditional marketing--with higher ROIs and lower CPAs.
But online marketing is a rapidly developing arena, with specialties now evolving as fast as new opportunities and technologies emerge. Whether its email marketing, web analytics, affiliate marketing or optimized copywriting, you can see the growth in the explosion of acronyms, from ESP (email service providers) and SMM (social media marketing) to SEO (search engine optimization) and PPC (pay per click).
It's heady times for online marketers. But it can also be challenging times. That's why we created this Meetup group.
This is a forum where online marketing practitioners and experts can learn, share and network. Whether you're on the marketing staff of a large company or a boutique agency, whether you're using online marketing for your small start-up or to build up your side business, this group is for you.
Our mission is simply to help each other grow in this exciting, burgeoning field...and have some fun while we're at it.
Our meetings will generally be on the last Tuesday of each month, barring conflicts with holidays or local teams making it deep into the playoffs. The first half of our monthly meetups will typically consist of a presentation; the second half will be open Q&A. Networking opportunities are encouraged before and after; so bring your business cards.
If you're interested in presenting on a topic, please drop us a line. There's no cost to join this group, but we will request a $3 donation at events to offset expenses and compensate guest speakers.
If you're serious about sharpening your online marketing skills, we look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
