January/February - Lafayette Chamber of Commerce
January/February 2013 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Newsletter Creating a strong local economy • Promoting the community • Providing networking opportunities • Representing the interests of business with government 2013 Business Person of the Year Transforms lives with the Power of Music Colleen McCormick has been picked as the Marquis Business Person of the Year. She and her husband John had this crazy idea in the middle of a bad economy. Open a music store and grow the community of local musicians. After all, Colleen and John met playing in the Cal band. Needless to say, they accomplished their goals and they have flourished as a unique local start up business. Since they opened, they have tripled their size and now have two new partners sharing the space on Lafayette Circle. Mighty Fine Guitars owned and operated by Colleen’s uncle, Stevie Coyle and Renee DeWeese and Rena Wilson operate Lamorinda Theatre Academy upstairs. Investing in music education, sharing her love for music, and adding fun to people’s life is what drives Colleen. Help celebrate the award by joining Colleen, John, daughter Emily and son Scotty by attending the dinner in her honor. For details see the flyer enclosed or visit the chamber website. Save the date, Friday evening, February 1 at the Lafayette Park Hotel and Spa. Upcoming Workshops Are you looking to grow your business in 2013? Want to learn about cutting edge marketing techniques that don’t cost a lot of money? Join us for our upcoming monthly marketing series starting in February 2013. We begin with the importance of building customer and prospect lists, how to cost effectively build those lists, the right ways to segment your lists and how to market to your lists to increase profits. In March we’ll cover how to use email and text marketing to get new customers, get existing customers to buy more often and how to get existing customers to buy bigger when they do buy. Facilitating the workshop will be Don Wexler of Blast My Biz and partner with Lightwave Media. The workshops will debut on Tuesday, February 12 and March 12, 8:30am hosted by the Lafayette Chamber in our conference room.
