It’s that time of year again!  Fall is right around the corner, and it’s time to start planning for 2011!  A critical part of the planning process is developing a comprehensive, integrated marketing plan.  In order to get to where you want to go, you have to have a roadmap to get there. 

SMPS Virginia has created a one-stop workshop to help you develop the planning documents you need hit the ground running in 2011 and to have a successful year.  This is a unique opportunity for small group and/or one-on-one sessions with the experts!

Please join SMPS Virginia for a half-day workshop with experts in the area of planning.  From strategic plans, to business plans, to PR plans and social media plans, you will leave this unique workshop armed and ready to take on 2011 with confidence – and with a plan.  So be prepared, and bring a laptop!  Bring any planning documents, drafts, or ideas you have – or plans from years past.  Bring your creative pieces.  Bring your boss.  Bring anyone on your team involved in strategic planning.
