Do businesses really know their customers? How do you use target marketing based on key segmentation strategies? What are the key factors and how do they impact attracting new customers while retaining existing ones?

This year’s workshop will address these and more by focusing on Attracting and Retaining Customers. You will not want to miss it!
Please join us this year as speakers, business experts, panelists and vendors share their expertise with participants regarding enhancing and leveraging customer relationships. Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend the following breakout sessions:

It’s one thing to have a successful launch, but to grow your business longer-term, it’s essential to attract and retain customers.” He continues, “Business experts will share insights and strategic approaches regarding leveraging short- and longer-term customer relationships profitably.
