Thank you CMA Ottawa
October 28, 2008
A big thank you to everyone who attended today’s CMA Ottawa‘s luncheon, “Secrets to Effective Internet Marketing“. I enjoyed everyone’s questions and appreciate the time you took out of your day.
For those who may not be familiar with CMA Ottawa, it’s the local chapter of the Canadian Marketing Association, “the largest marketing association in Canada representing the integration and convergence of all marketing disciplines, channels and technologies.”
CMA Ottawa welcomes marketers from all sectors, public and private, from both sides of the river to its monthly luncheons (September to May). For information about upcoming sessions, please visit http://www.CMAOttawa.com.

Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed
February 3, 2008
Good news for Ottawa’s business owners and entrepreneurs – details about the City of Ottawa‘s Small Business Forum 2008 are now available. The Forum is set for February 22nd, 2008 from 7:30am to 2:00pm at the Ottawa Congress Centre and the cost is $90.00 CDN (plus GST).
This year’s keynote is Cora Tsouflidou, Founder, President and CEO of Cora’s Breakfast and Lunch. As a result of one of my standing committee meetings, I’ve become a regular at the Ottawa-Kanata location so I’m looking forward to hearing the scoop on how Ms Tsouflidou grew her restaurant chain from a single location in Montreal in 1987 to more than 90 Canadian franchise locations today.
Speaking of scoop, I invite you to “Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed“, a presentation I’m giving at the same event from 9:00 – 10:00 AM. For those who might be interested, my plan is to explain
- How to identify rich sources of website traffic
- Why you should play nicely with robots
- How perception vs. reality can work in your favour
- Why assumptions can hurt (but testing can help)
- How to take immediate advantage of the dawning “other” Internet
I’m going to assume that you have a website for your business already, but if not, please pop by anyway – if nothing else, I hope you’ll leave with a few plans in mind for when the moment does come.
Register for the Forum online or contact Kim Kelly Associates at (613) 521-3910 or kim@kimkellyassociates.com.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
