Presented By:

Meg Hyde

Small business owners wear a million hats, which means branding and marketing are oftentimes a "fly by the seat of your pants and hope it works" kind of scenario that can feel overwhelming and daunting if that's not your area of expertise. There are a few things that a small business can do that aren't just trending and can make a huge difference over time. Join Meg Hyde, Digital Marketing Strategist, and Photographer to learn a few tricks of the trade that create change for you and your business and remove some of the stress of small business marketing.

Topics Covered:

Know who you are as a small business and a local brand (what role do you play in the community, this should have become even more important throughout 2020 and will continue to be in 2021)

Identify your target audience (know the difference between who you want to be a customer, and who already is a customer)

Be consistent with tactics (Consistency and content are king)

Showcase who you are, authentically (in your business transactions, online, and in-person)

Have a marketing toolbox to keep you sane (I will share what I keep in mine)

Electric Cars: New Revenue Streams (for Your Business) and the Technology That Manages It.

Increasing deployment of EV charger in future could translate to stronger demand for the facility – hence a good business opportunity. Plus, it could be considered as a very low capital business. In the EV charging business, there are opportunities to create customer value directly and indirectly around the growth of the EV charging market, new EV technologies and new demand for residential and commercial EV charging. What are these opportunities, where should you focus, and how can you profit in the EV charging business?
