Seven Deadly Sins of Community Marketing

 

Presented by Roger Brooks of Destination Development International and hosted by Dean Whittaker of Whittaker Associates, Inc.


A full 97% of all community-based marketing is now ineffective. This includes brochures, websites, print and radio advertising, videos, etc. Why? Because we are now exposed to 5,000 marketing messages a day.  In this fast-paced, humorous webinar recording, you'll learn how to avoid the seven deadly sins of community marketing and create unique, eye-catching material for your target audience.  If you commit any of these sins on behalf of  your community….

·        Being all things to all people
·        Promoting what, who and where before why
·        Boring headlines
·        Lack of focus (layout and wording)
·        Writing one ad for 30 places
·        Spending more on collateral than on the web
·        Providing generalities rather than specifics

….then this is an ideal webinar to wash away those sins and learn new ways to make your marketing efforts more effective in your economic development, tourism, or business attraction  promotional material.
