Hello CDA Web Marketers,

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying spring, hopefully the weather will get the memo soon that we would all appreciate some sun. I want to remind you that this Friday May 1st we are in for a treat as three members of our group, Tom Latham, Ed Reese and Nathan Kay will join forces to give a presentation on design, SEO and Word Press. This is definitely a meeting you won’t want to miss!

The meeting is at 8 am at Calypsos on Lakeside in Coeur d’Alene. There is a $5 charge to cover the room and Calypsos has great breakfasts and coffee. If you have questions or need information please contact Jamie at jamie@jebcommerce.com.

We are also looking for anyone who wants to be on our Hot seat. If you have an idea or a business problem that you want the group to help you work through, let us know!

I’m sorry to get out the information on this month’s meeting, but here it is:

During Friday’s meeting, we’ll hear from Randy Wilkinson with a brief education on the difference the way you present a price can affect your response.  He’ll show you how weird we are as consumers when it comes to deciding the value your offer has.  Learn how the “decoy method” can boost your response and how The Economist Magazine used this tool to their benefit.

If time permits, I, Jamie, will present on outsourcing.  I’ll talk about my experience as well as the value of a great outsourced team, what they can do for you, what to avoid, how to manage your team and what obstacles you might face.  If you are looking to add resources cost effectively, you’ll definitely want to be here this Friday at 8am at Calypsos.

We also need two Hot Seats for the meeting.  What is a hot seat, glad you asked.  If you have a business problem you are facing or an idea tha tyou need help flushing out, you’ll have 10-15 minutes to get help from the entire group!  It’s a great way to get many minds behind your issues.  Email me at jamie@jebcommerce.com.

I’m so excited to see you all there!
