Webinars Set on New Growth Opportunities for Distributors
Two free webinars set for Tue., May 12, 11 am-noon ET and Thu., May 14, 1 pm-2pm ET will provide details on new business opportunities for distributors beyond facemasks,PPEs and virtual meeting backgrounds.
Distributors have an opportunity to rapidly diversify their businesses to help clients deal with one of the most pressing issues of our times made even more urgent in the Covid-19 crisis—how to fully engage and build meaningful relationships with all their critical stakeholders: employees, customers, distribution partners, suppliers, volunteers, and communities.
To address this opportunity, the Brand Media Coalition has scheduled two webinars for Tue., May 12, 11 am-noon ET; Thu., May 14, 1 pm-2pm ET. The webinar is presented by Bruce Bolger, Managing Director, Brand Media Coalition, and Founder of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance. Guest distributor speaker is: Tom Kronberger, Director Vendor Relations, Fully Promoted, and Executive Advisor to the Brand Media Coalition. The program is hosted by Guy Achtzehn, President, MSG Promotions and Director of Outreach for the Brand Media Coalition, and Mark Wunderlich, a Brand Media Coalition Executive Advisor and President, Incentive Source.
The webinars will share two new business opportunities with guidance on how to determine which makes sense for each distributor.
1) Brand media--The use of brands in the booming surprise and delight and occasion gifting business to employees, customers, suppliers, and volunteers.
2) Engagement--the variety of engagement services being used by companies to connect with newly dispersed audiences at a time when it has never been more important to engage key stakeholders.
This webinars will address:
• What is surprise and delight, occasion gifting and brand media and why this business is doing well.
• How distributors can benefit from “surprise and delight” and occasion gifting using brands.
• Why engagement is so important now and what types of other services can distributors provide.
• What distributors need to know to diversify and the key steps to success.
You’ll get all the information and resources you need to profit from the new focus on brands and engaging people.
