Sharon Rowlands has been selected to speak on the June 14, 2017 panel at 9:30 a.m., EDT. The panel is entitled, “SMB Do it Yourself (DIY): Is Local Getting Closer to Solving the Serve-Yourself Conundrum?”
“While many local businesses attempt a DIY model for lead generation and conversion, they soon discover that it requires too much time and domain expertise to drive the results required to grow their business,” said Sharon Rowlands.
Also, Sharon Rowlands will discuss how technology and a service-based DIFM (do it for me) approach plays an important role in successful digital marketing for local businesses.
“While DIY works for some businesses; DIFM is needed by many,” Sharon Rowlands added.
