Marketing Strategies Workshop

How many business opportunities are there in the vastness of our cyber world? You may often hear friends describe how their website is bringing in such consistent business flow. Yet looking at our own sites, we see the foot traffic dwindling.  You witness tons of profit being churned by others through social media but have no clue how to get started.

AGPP and co-sponsor TAP(Taiwanese American Professionals) would like to invite you to a Marketing Strategies Seminar. This seminar is a third-party fundraising event certified by the American Red Cross to support the post-disaster rebuilding efforts for Japan. All net proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross within 10 days after the event.

One of the group’s main goals is to provide entrepreneurs  with the opportunity to not only leave with valuable marketing resources but to also make a difference for Japan. In the seminar, small business owners will learn how to:

“The day after I found out about the Japan earth quake, I donated $100USD to a local charity organization,” said Erin Lin, seminar organizer. “But this is so little…so insignificant! I know that my powers alone are very limited, but the unified power of tens if not hundreds of people pulling together for a similar cause is a significant difference and power! I hope we can utilize our time, energy, knowledge and existing resources to give small business entrepreneurs new visions in their business and bring more hope to Japan.”

Our PR speaker, Julia Zamorska, has won over 7 major National PR awards in the United States since 2007. Erin Lin and Erin Suzuki are the experienced professional designer and writer behind the award-winning PC software, System Mechanic, which is used by 36 million consumers in 33 countries in 6 languages over the world.
