Free event will share ideas for marketing small businesses

Robin Bostrom

A free event with marketing ideas for small businesses will be held Monday, Nov. 5, at the Elks lodge in Jefferson. Robin Bostrom, Main Street Iowa business specialist, will share ideas she has collected from small rural businesses around the state.

Business owners interested in getting new options other than social media are invited to hear this creative and short presentation. The program is timely with the upcoming holidays, providing businesses new strategies for reaching their customers. Ideas will be shared for businesses other than retail, too.

Social time will begin at 5:15 pm with Jefferson Iowa Realty providing a free drink for those attending, along with snacks. The presentation will begin at 5:45 and last 45 minutes.

Bostrom shared a presentation strictly on the use of social media marketing earlier in the year. This event will focus on other ways to make marketing dollars go further.

These two programs are projects of the economic vitality committee of Jefferson Matters: Main Street to support our local businesses. Businesses inside and outside of Jefferson’s Main Street district are welcome to attend. There is no need to RSVP.
