Why? • Networking • Content • CE CM CBAR $ • Face of APICS • Chapter and Society Marketing • Image and value
Focus. • Meeting vs. creating expectations. • Who isn’t attending and why. • Secondary customers? • Alternatives. • Planning and marketing… • Professionalism.
Expectations. • Attraction targets. • Flexible formats. • Patron cost. • Topics. • Locations. • Benefits and value.
Missing you. Who’s not there? And why? • Membership/Programs: Members - Attendees. • Targeted communication. • Split it up, spread the load. • Personalized contact. • Categorize responses. • Adapt to meet needs.
Satisfaction. Maximize the value-add. • Never avoid an opportunity to connect. • Make your titles work for you. • Communicate to Secondary Customers - Marketing through receipts. - Company recognition program
But I don’t like change. Besides traditional dinner meetings: • Joint meetings every meeting. • Tours. Leverage Secondary Customers. • Professional and family events. • Themes. Group exercises. Volunteer. • Partner with schools. All schools? • How could we make free work?
Get busy. Now. • July to June. • Time to plan next year starts now. • Create a programs planning calendar • Sourcing speakers. • Bio. Abstract. Terms. Contacts. • Make it easy. • Share speakers.
Professionalism. Create the buzz. • We’re planning pro’s. • We’re a team. • Door greeter. • Spread out. Network. Find your replacement. • A/V check. • Effective surveys. Door prizes. • Get over the fear of microphones.
The Face of APICS. Present a common message. APICS does good. It’s all about credibility, engagement and value. The beauty of announcements. Self promotion. A good President’s message. P/A, A/V and all other technical wonders. Next meeting topic, time and place.
Group exercise. Whoo-hoo! Five minutes. Two alternative PDP’s. • Type: • Venue: • Presentation: • Cost:
Finally! MARF: Maintain Absolute Rigid Flexibility! Never avoid the opportunity to connect. Be organized and prepared. Always have a “Plan B”. Make it fun! QUESTIONS?
