A Town Hall Meeting with marketing guru and thought leader SETH GODIN

The New Jersey Small Business Development Center at Brookdale
Community College (MOSBDC) is proud to present A Town Hall Meeting with
marketing guru and thought leader SETH GODIN at 2 p.m. on September 25, 2013.
This event is open to all businesses seeking solutions and strategies for
surviving and thriving in the Sandy Recovery. The Location of the event is 765
Newman Springs Rd, Student Life Center, Navesink Rooms I, II and III, Lincroft,
N.J.

Around the country, there are three images associated with the
Jersey Shore in the aftermath of two disasters. First, the submerged roller
coaster from Seaside Heights (Ocean County) and the half standing home in Union
Beach (Monmouth County) following Sandy. Then, the popular Seaside Boardwalk
erupting in flames on September 12, destroying more than 50 businesses in its
path. How can "marketing" aid in recovery?

According to Jackeline Mejias-Fuertes, Director of the NJSBDC at
Brookdale Community College, serving small businesses in Monmouth and Ocean
counties, "We’ve found that many of the Sandy-impacted business owners
whom we counsel are most interested in two main areas – marketing and finance.
On the financial side, they are getting their businesses back in order which
may include insurance, loans, grants and some creative financing. Yet we are
finding that almost equally as important to them is marketing and how to
enhance their presence and create a plan for going forward, unlike what they’ve
done in the past. There’s no better person to address this than Seth Godin.”

Godin, who has generously donated his time for this Sandy
assistance discussion, is the author of 17 books that have been bestsellers
around the world and have been translated into more than 35 languages. You
might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip and Purple
Cow.  In addition to his writing and speaking, Seth is founder of
squidoo.com, a fast growing, easy to use website. His blog (which you can find
by typing "seth" into Google) is one of the most popular in the
world.

 

Godin will speak about marketing in a post-Sandy business world not only in
terms of recovery but thriving and excelling by looking at their business with
fresh eyes and a new approach to connecting with both their existing customers
and potential customer base. Godin will provide insight into how to strengthen
your business enterprise by thinking and acting boldly, building and leading
your "tribe" and creating real value in your business and personal
brand. Attendees can engage with Seth though a Q&A addressing the specific
needs of the post-Sandy small business owner.
