Marketing is about communicating the value of a brand, product or service to consumers to attract new business. One of the best ways to communicate that message through existing fans. In today’s fast paces social media driven world, it’s often forgotten that one of marketing’s main goals is to get people to talking about the brand or message.

The real challenge is finding ways to incorporate a social element into your marketing campaigns to encourage people to share your content. Let’s take a step back and see how we can encourage people to talk about your company and your brand.

While Halloween is something that many families look forward to and enjoy, it is a holiday fraught with potential problems for dogs. “What costumes to wear? Who will take the children around the neighborhood? What candy to hand out?” For most families, these are some of the usual and fun questions that come up around this fun holiday. Another question is “How is the poor dog going to react?” or “What happens if the dog freaks out with the onslaught of kids and costumes?” These are important questions and something to think about before it’s too late.

BizX's 2015 Holiday Party - Wednesday, November 18^th, from 5:30 to 10:00pm at SoDo Park in Seattle, WA

If you attended last year’s event, you know it’s not something to be missed!

Last year’s event saw over 700 people in attendance with nearly ¤23,000 raised for BizX charities through the silent auction. There was food and drink, shopping and spending. It was an awesome event made even better by an amazing community.

This year’s Seattle area event will be no less epic, but done in a whole new way.

Our third panel discussion in the #meetmixbizx series went off without a hitch! The BizX community came together to ask questions, exchange ideas, network and all around have a good time. A big thank you to everyone that attended last night!

Everyone came together at the Adriatic Grill in Tacoma to hear our panel of experts share their thoughts, opinions and knowledge surrounding the digital marketing industry.
