About this Event

Does your business have an eNewsletter? In the past year, small businesses have been required to shift their focus to developing ecommerce-first strategies. As a result, entrepreneurs are recognizing the need to develop and maintain an updated contact list of clients and customers for use in email marketing.

In this 90-minute workshop, digital media specialist Jennifer Baker of Jennifer Baker Consulting will share the benefits of integrating email marketing, specifically MailChimp, into your online marketing strategy. She will also discuss how to focus more clearly on your audience, how to maintain a contact list, develop an email campaign, retarget key customers and understand email analytics.

By the end of this virtual session, you will be able to:

  1. Describe the benefits of developing an effective email marketing strategy
  2. Recognize the importance of maintaining an organized contact list
  3. Implement tactics to develop an effective email marketing campaign
  4. Identify key reporting analytics

This session will include time for a Q&A with Jennifer.

NOTE: Attendees will be emailed a Zoom link to the online session by separate email prior to the event.
