One of the biggest setbacks that brick and mortar business owners face is getting people in the door. Add the fact that a lot of local businesses cater to niche markets AND can be seasonal — and it makes for a challenging time growing a business.
On today’s on-air marketing strategy session, we will be chatting with Rosie Samad, a franchise owner of Wine and Design, a paint and sip studio in Winston-Salem, NC.
We dive into how Rosie can fill her brand new kids summer camps and figure out exactly how she should be marketing these events.
