Online Marketing--Part 1
Enabling Sales & Marketing
Chicago, IL | March 22nd, 2006

This month we present the first of a two part series on Online Marketing. In this event we will focus on how online technology is being used to enable the sales and marketing function.
We'll kick off the event with two case studies. In the first case study we'll learn how one company successfully managed their online community through a series of WOM and one-on-one campaigns. In the second case study we'll learn how a major brand (Tide) used online marketing in a successful online campaign reaching over 1 million consumers. Then we'll switch topics and focus on the block & tackle tool all marketers must use: Email Marketing. We'll learn the top ten techniques for a successful email marketing program. Next, we'll learn about a emerging trend that leading edge sales and marketing teams are utilizing: Sales & Marketing enablement. Finally, we'll finish the afternoon with a panel of senior users discussing the best practices they use in leveraging online technology in the sales and marketing functions.
This event is always a popular one for the club so be sure to register today!
