Press release here for event that tries to help business owners make sense of the landscape of daily deal offers in Asheville:
Running a daily deal for your small business can be a real boon for your company. But with so many deal media companies, how do you know which one to choose? You Get We Give (YGWG) has partnered with other deal media companies for an educational panel discussion and luncheon on August 2, 2012 at Solace Restaurant in the Haywood Park Hotel to help local businesses understand how to make deal media work for them.
The event is presented by Rely Local Asheville, whose mission is to rebuild the local economy and strengthen the community by advocating the benefits of buying local.
Event sponsors include You Get We Give, The DM Shop, Ask Asheville, G Social Media, WNC Woman, and Take A Stand among others, and will feature local deal company executives including Bob Perlstein of YGWG, Carla Myron of Deal Chicken, and Brigitte Ruckle of Asheville Deal.
The event will allow business owners to ask questions specific to their industry, find out what each company offers, and learn how the deal business can be an effective marketing tool.
“The goal of this discussion is to create clarity about the deal media industry and how it can be used successfully for our businesses here in Asheville,” says Perlstein. You Get We Give is a locally-owned deal and marketing company that not only helps people save money on products and services but works to support the Asheville community. Started by Weaverville residents and marketing experts Bob Perlstein and Diane Sparks, YGWG is all about establishing and nurturing relationships that help build strong communities.
The event will include a delicious farm-to-table lunch, the panel discussion, and the opportunity to network with other local business leaders and deal media experts.
