Location: CSN Stores, 800 Boyleston Street, Prudential Building

Description: It used to be that you could advertise your business pretty effectively if you had a nice mix of print, broadcast and maybe a few well-placed billboards. In the late 90's you needed a website. Then you needed search engine optimization. Then Google AdWords. Then e-newsletters. Then neat games or promotions on your website. Then blogs. Then podcasts. Then a MySpace page. What’s next? Employing the next-big-thing marketing tool is smart, but the pace of online technology development and complexity of the new tools is overwhelming for most of us. Plus, there’s also a lot to be said about using the tried-and-true ways, like press releases, ads, and direct mail. But when to use what and how to do it all without overwhelming your budget or resources? Join us for lunch on February 21st and you’ll hear advice from a couple people who know.
