A review of Digital Marketing: The New FrontierThe Palm Beach Post sponsored the February Breakfast titled “Digital Marketing: The New Frontier” which featured Mike Anderson, Vice President of Consumer Insights and Communication at the Center for Sales Strategy, and Raul Vielma, Director of Digital Services for Cox Media Palm Beach. The Post awarded iPads to Christine Jax of Walden University, and Ron Walters of PayMaster.

As we move deeper into the information age, it is easy for any business owner, marketer or manager to feel overwhelmed by the infinite number of innovations. Digital marketing can become a quagmire of email blasts, social media, and search, geo- and behavioral targeting and more.

Mike Anderson encouraged our members to focus on something that’s easier to understand – the consumers we serve. Instead of trying to know all about the digital space, make it your mission to understand how your most important customers are using technology… and why.

Some consumers use the web to expedite a purchase and save precious time. Others are focused on research, so they can be comfortable about an important choice. Still others are intent on sharing their shopping experience with friends, or taking input from their social circle about a major decision.

As you get to know how and why your customers are using technology, you are at once revealing needs and priorities which, once served, can make your relationship with that consumer even stronger.

[For more on Consumer Trends and Industry Insights by Mike Anderson, visit http://ElmStreetTrends.com.]

The good news is, you don’t have to know or do it all yourself. For more information on The Palm Beach Post’s Digital Media Services, contact Chadi Irani at 561-820-4373 and CIRANI@PBPOST.COM or visit us at http://realsolutions.palmbeachpost.com/.

Employment Law Workshop Bari L. Goldstein, Esq., of Christine D. Hanley & Associates, P.A., will present Starting off on the Right Foot, Staying in Step Along the Way, a seminar aimed at providing Palm Beach County organizations with a coverage template of most of the major local, state and federal employment laws. Participants will receive an overview of the variety of laws affecting the employment relationship, as well as detail on some of the “hotter” legal issues arising out of those laws and impacting organizations today. The program is keyed to the number of employees in an organization so participant representatives of small (2-person shops), medium (3 to 50 employees), large (50 to 100 employees), and extra large (100+ employees) employers will learn about the laws that affect their particular businesses. Participants will leave knowing what to ask, and thus, be better equipped to manage the risks of their own organizations. Information regarding CLE, CPE, and CEU Continuing Education credits will be provided at the workshop.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, April 3 at 8:30 a.m. in the Chamber board room. The registration fee before the Friday, March 30 deadline is $10 for Chamber members and $20 for non-members.
