Another great PubTalk at Mutiny Brewing, Main Street Joseph. I am writing this post while listening to the first "Marketing From the Trenches" speaker -- Paul Arentsen, owner of Winding Waters River Expeditions, a Whitewater raffting and fly fishing adventure company. Paul stresses using all free 2G promotions available. Here is a cool tip from Paul - go to website grader to see how your website meaures up. The grader provides tips on how to optimize search capabilities.
Next up - Heather Tyreman, owner of Bronze Antler Bed & Breakfast, (from personal experience I can say that staying at the Bronze Antler is well worth the trip. Comfy bed, quality bedding, fantastic bathroom, special accessories and a made to order breakfast that can't be missed). Back to Heather's presentation --which emphasizes blogging early and often. Finally, Kari Gjerdingen, owner of Mutiny Brewing focuses on social media - twitter & facebook. I am finding that there is a lot of linking love expertise in northeast Oregon!
Now for the 5 minute pitch -- Sara Miller, Co-owner of Bunchgrass Enterprises, a company that provides beef and rangeland consulting. The company is seeking marketing assistance and additional land to lease.
Next Eastern Oregon PubTalk events are May 26th & 27th. For more information contact Lisa Dawson, 1-800-645-9454, lisadawson@neoedd.org.



Thanks to NEOEDD and OEN for hosting this event. It was a lot of fun and I certainly learned a thing or two that I plan to incorporate in our marketing scheme for the Bronze Antler Bed & Breakfast.
