  How to Craft an Effective Drip Campaign
  
  If you struggle with keeping in touch with current clients and staying top of mind with potential ones, the best approach is to streamline the process and then put it on autopilot!
  
  In this month’s fabulously fun marketing workshop we will each develop/refine drip campaigns for our businesses that are budget-appropriate and audience-specific. Through collective feedback we will be able to cultivate those strategies that most effectively leverage time and marketing dollars.
  
  Thanks to Lynne Wilson of Shoreline Image Works for moderating the discussion, Emily Montes de Oca of Deocapac Designs and along with Mary Dado of Business Writing, Ink. and Sandi Burnside of C.C. Logan & Associates; along with our host Judy Butler with Answer Excellence!
