Manhattan Chamber of Commerce

Tomorrow at 1 PM! This event is part of our "Leveraging Digital to Drive Sales" event series which is designed to empower businesses to master tech, including innovations in AI. ?About this session:?Is your business looking to acquire new customers? Google Ads are an awesome tool that can help you find new customers quickly! You get to reach people at the very moment they’re searching for what you sell. However, many business owners dive into Google Ads without understanding how to build campaigns or allocate budgets to optimize results. As a result significant dollars and hours of time are wasted without a single new customer. In this class, we’ll teach you how search advertising works (Google Ads), when it makes sense to advertise, and how to get new customers within your existing budget. This webinar is hosted by the Chamber's?Digital Marketing Business Advisor: Maisha Walker, President of?Message Medium. Note:?All participants in this session will automatically be registered for an online Q&A session that will take place two days after the initial session. This allows attendees to start to implement what they have learned and then get answers on items where they may be stuck/need additional “hands-on” guidance from the instructor. Participation is voluntary. Register Below!
