BMA Indy Chapter is now Blogging

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by BMA President


The Business Marketing Association exists to support the business to business marketing community in Indianapolis.  While the chapter has been around for a number of years, the chapter remains relatively small given the strength of BtoB marketing in Indianapolis.

The Indianapolis Chapter has traditionally fulfilled the niche of providing relevant educational content by sponsoring speakers that cover the hot topics facing today's marketers.  This year's programming is no exception. 

Our next program, Marketing by the Numbers, will be held on Tuesday, November 21 starting at 8:30 pm. 

In this presentation, Jill Snyder,  Vice President of Marketing at Schneider Corporation will show you how to build a marketing plan that will support your organization's revenue objectives, which is critical today. Step-by-step you will be shown how to funnel all your marketing resources into activities and strategies to drive demand.

Measuring that success is critical and we will take you through live examples of how companies have been able to build their lead generation efforts and circle back to measure their results. Jill will share examples from local companies that have built a platform to monitor their lead generation efforts based on the results they are driving.  In addition to these case studies, Shawn Herring will also be sharing how he implemented a qualified lead generation platform for Harlan Sprague with great success.

This is a very timely topic as businesses finalize plans for the upcoming year's sales and marketing activities. Plan to join your fellow members of the business marketing community. Register today by visiting www.bmaindy.org. Invite a friend to join you.
