Here are a couple recent updates in case they flew under your radar! ➡ Table seating tools to help you plan and organize your in-person event ➡ Categorize & group silent auction items or highlight estimated value

Went to our town🎄 lighting last night. Local businesses have shops set up. Others sponsor with branding and swag. Some have branded crafts and activities for the kids. Some have giveaways and contests. Some doing community service and charity drives. Great opportunity to create, nurture, and solidify relationships. If you’re a local business, these are the types of things that can move the dial. Pro tip: Don’t measure the value of these events in “direct response ROI.” Be sure to count “we met at the tree lighting last December.” As you’re planning for 2024, make a list of the local events in your community. Put a plan together to maximize these opportunities. Focus on meeting and connecting, not “just” selling. “Take it online.” At AttorneySync: Digital Legal Marketing, we’ve found a lot of value in marrying local events with digital strategy. How do you approach events in your community? #localbusiness #localmarketing #localbusinessmarketing
