Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed

by Kelly Kubrick on 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!
