The Ultimate Marketing Strategy - Making Customers Come to You

The Ultimate Marketing Strategy - Making Customers Come to You

Finding new customers is arguably the biggest and most important challenge for any business. For small and medium size businesses it can be particularly tough.

One approach to the problem is to focus on being better at sales. But imagine you didn't have to 'sell'?

Andrew Shuttleworth, Founder of Customers, Vendors, People (www.cvp.jp) will talk about ways you can start make customers come to you. Some things he will cover are:

- Creating an amazing product or service.

- Buzz and word of mouth marketing

- Building a brand and reputation

- The power of a network and how to build an effective network online and offline

The presentation is relevant for anyone who needs and wants to build a strategy for attracting customers.
