Simple Marketing Now Update - June 2011

I have lots to update you on in this June 2011 update from Simple Marketing Now.

First, I'm in the midst of a three-part social media marketing presentation series at my local public library. The first session was the most formal with an overview of social media and the major tools available. The next two will be interactive workshops. If you are interested, you can view the presentation and read a summary that one marvelous participant [and blog subscriber] wrote - just click on the link.

Second, I'm hard at work on the Simple Marketing Now website so it supports my business better. I'll start including those blogposts here.

[If you are new to Flooring The Consumer, I also write the Simple Marketing Blog where I discuss marketing strategy and creative, practical, simple marketing approaches and share best practices - many of which may be relevant to you and your business as you consider what's possible.]
