Summertime for Firecats means we're taking a long weekend at the first of August - no Firecat First Friday coworking and brownbag on Friday, August 6. We're still considering September 3 - the first Friday falls on Labor Day Weekend.
We know; You're desolate
We'll post an update as soon as a decision is made about September. In the meantime, put Friday, October 1 on your calendar. We're for sure having a session then!
Have a Topic for Future Firecat First Friday Brownbag?
Some ideas:
- Mobile Gadget Play Date. Whether or not you have an iPad, iPhone, Android or Blackberry - or none of these gadgets, it pays a savvy marketer or business person to understand the lure of the Apple App Store, the changes that Geolocation create in buying patterns, and the new opportunities for reaching your target market - as well as having fun and being more productive. The best way to keep up with all that is to have folks SHOW you - in person. Beats YouTube.
- Search Engine Optimization Tricks. Susan's recent appearance at BMPR was very well attended, signaling more interest in SEO, SEM and other tactics to have your company come up on page 1 of searches in Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines.
