San Diego Small Business Marketing Meetup Group

As a small business owner, how do you reach your prospective customers?

We discuss both online and offline ways of marketing within a small business budget, using such techniques as building a website, sponsoring workshops and events, to advertise or not, and many others. We will dig into subjects seldom covered in most workshops and talk about specifics of doing business in the real world. Not theory, but practical issues.

Aren't you tired of workshops filled with classroom seating and an instructor blah, blah, blah at the front? Sick of noisy, pressurized networking groups? We are too. So, we've designed our meetups to be round-table discussions among peers, led by experienced experts in their fields. Coffee and water is available on site, so it is a comfortable, professional setting,

PLEASE RSVP IN ADVANCE...WE GET CROWDED! RSVP IN ADVANCE - $12.99; WALK-INS $20 We're sorry, this group is not appropriate for account reps or network marketers.
