Marketing, Sales & Networking
Thursday, November 18th at 6:30
Lumberyard in Laguna Beach

Women Entrepreneurs!

Join us on Thursday, November 18, 2010 for a Marketing & Networking event like never before. Startup Princesses are letting our hair down to enjoy a casual evening of dining and having a drink or two while learning about Marketing & Sales at the Lumberyard in Laguna Beach. By now you are probably just as excited as we are!! If you have not been to the Lumberyard, you are in for a treat. The Lumberyard is quickly becoming OC’s IT place to dine. 
 
We are happy to say that in addition to our casual evening we will continue our discussion from the last meeting on Marketing and hear from Jodie Palumbo. Have you met Jodie yet? Pure marketing brilliance!! She has given invaluable advice to several of our Startup Princesses and will do so again on November 18Th. Marketing is her specialty and she’ll share with us how to translate marketing efforts into sales. The holidays are here and if you have a product or service business and want to make BIG sales this quarter, THIS event is one you don’t want to miss.

Jodie Palumbo is an expert in the field of marketing and advertising. With over 20 years experience in an array of industries including manufacturing, services, retail, publishing, and property, hotel and restaurant management, she is sought after by companies who know the value of having an experienced, reliable and creative marketing professional on their team. From start-ups to mid-sized companies, her expertise is working with business owners who want to grow their companies to the next level but realize the difficulty between “running” their business and “being” the business. In today’s complex business environment, it is almost impossible to do both successfully.

As Director of Marketing and Communications on the NAWBO-OC Board of Directors (National Association of Women Business Owners), Jodie increased their exposure at various trade shows, exhibits, and conferences assisting the Orange County chapter in reclaiming the ranking of Largest Chapter in the nation with more than 380 members. This was done in the midst of a recession with no fiscal budget available and through building and utilizing strong relationships and alliances with other businesses and community organizations, viral marketing and social networking.

Yes! She is that good. 

Jodie will give us practical advice on how to measure our marketing goals from planning to implementation and translating our marketing efforts into sales. Plus, we'll have tips for last minute holiday sales to boost your income!

Afterwards, stay for some live entertainment at the Lumberyard. This particular evening we will be treated to an acoustical guitar performance - think Jack Johnson!

Mark your calendars ladies and join other women entrepreneurs on Thursday, November 18Th for an evening of marketing, networking & FUN!
