What is your marketing message about your product or service? 

Do your potential customers hear this:

sdkll ;;igjtuhn /eothnwmvn4o[ jh ]. ?!

With technology products and services, the message is often buried in too much technical jargon or not focused to the right audience. Effective marketing requires not only understanding of the marketing process but also creation of a system for communicating your message in a way that will motivate potential clients and investors to take action.

In this 2 hour session we will review the core elements of marketing and highlight how each can impact the success of new technology in the marketplace.  Learn how even small changes in your marketing approach can yield a significant change in your business results. The workshop will cover:

  • Market development
  • Market penetration
  • Sales
  • Positioning
  • Examples of effective marketing techniques being used on you!
