July 28. Drive customers to your business during summer.

By Chris Clemens

FG Creative (FGC), a leading full-service branding, marketing, advertising, social media and public relations firm, is hosting a special networking mixer in conjunction with the Coachella Valley Women’s Business Center (CVWBC) on Tuesday, July 28, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. CEO Stephanie Greene will provide insight on ways to attract local residents and new customers during the summer months with “Sizzling Summer Marketing Ideas.”

With 500,000 year-round residents businesses should not miss the opportunity to reach this audience during the Valley’s slower summer months. Greene will discuss the opportunity to take advantage of traditional media during this time for bargain packages, the importance of public relations, smart social media campaigns, and more.

Spearheaded by CVWBC, which also offers special programs and courses on starting a business, attendees can network with other local business owners, entrepreneurs, and media. Light hors d’oeuvres will be provided by event sponsor, CV Weekly, and popular local musician Mike Pedersen will entertain with contemporary acoustic guitar.  Seating is extremely limited and is based on a first-come basis, by registering directly on www.cvwbc.org.  No walk-ins or non-confirmed attendance can be accommodated.
