Posted by admin in 2009 Seminar News on July 23rd, 2009
Finding a venue that suits the needs of busy business owners that also want to come to a great convention is a tough task. Luckily, we’ve found a great location that just rocks.
The upcoming Look at Me seminar will be held at (drumroll please) – The Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center in Chesterfield, MO. Yay! We figured anything that has ‘conference center’ in their title must be good, right? Well it is. It’s awesome.
On top of having a great location, the Doubletree also has a great lunch buffet for all attendees. So grab your laptop and head on up. There will be coffee, tea and tasty treats for you while you register and get ready for a ton of awesome information about boosting your website traffic and revenue! Read the rest of this entry »
Speaker Interview: Scott Allender
Posted by admin in 2009 Seminar News on July 22nd, 2009
Scott Allender will be presenting a session on Social Media for Business at the upcoming Look at Me Seminar. We sat down with Scott and asked him a few questions about his upcoming presentation, as well as a few personal questions about what he’s up to.
I see you are speaking on social media. Why do you think this is an important topic for businesses in St Louis?
Social Media is a new way to market yourself and your business. With all of the turmoil in the world of business, it’s more important than ever to market your business. I think what St. Louis business needs to recognize about Social Media is that regardless of what platform you use, social media can provide a significant boost to your business.
These social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc) take a ton of time. Do you think it’s cost effective for a business to use these?
Any effort spent working within a social media platform is time well spent, provided you understand that you need a plan and thought-out metrics to measure your success.
