Take 5 for Your Marketing!
5 Simple Solutions to the Most Common Marketing Issues
It's difficult to balance all of the activities required to operate
a small- and medium-sized business, and unfortunately,
marketing is commonly pushed aside in favor of more short
term,
pressing deadlines. Staying on track may
seem overwhelming to many owners and managers, but it
can easily be handled with a little bit of organization.
Here are 5 simple solutions to help you fight the 5 biggest
problems that we see over and over again with small- and
medium-sized businesses.
Office and Gallery Makeover!
Have you seen our conference area lately? We have
reorganized our space to spotlight the artwork we show while
better accommodating the office space we need for our growing
firm.
"Space and Time", a show by our Dallas-based artist Joan
Winter, was the
first
resident of our new front gallery. From July until the end of
August, Joan's paintings, prints, and
sculptures ran the length of the space and filled the
conference area with inspiration!
In September, Robot Art Gallery will feature ROBOT's own
designer and photographer, Andrew Watson. Please step in
and join us for an art
reception (See "What's up at the Robot Art
Gallery" below for reception dates and times). Come get
inspired!

What previous participants had to say:
-
"This
is always a good workshop for new information as well
as a litmus test for our own ideas"
- "I like the round-table format; everyone talks
(communicates) ideas, and it is small enough that it's not
overwhelming."
- "The session is great - basic and
do-able!"
