&lt;span class=&quot;tlocation&quot;&gt;Location:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;location&quot;&gt;
The Fabulous La Griglia, Houston, TX 77009&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;tspeaker&quot;&gt;Speaker:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;speaker&quot;&gt;Carey Giudici&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;tdescription&quot;&gt;Event Details:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Many business owners still settle for ineffective content, hoping that a chic phrase or clever tagline will generate sales.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;But times have changed, and the new generation of decision makers isn't paying attention to our taglines, what we love to do or our core values. They're too busy micro-messaging on their favorite social media sites.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Social media increasingly defines how we communicate. Content is no longer king; clarity and brevity are now the great persuaders.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;So to get more conversions, local businesses are requesting a personal &quot;Marketing Mantra.&quot; This two- or three-word phrase will help prospects:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;See what makes your business unique &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Become engaged by your increased relevance to their situations &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Feel reassured by your message's proof and clarity &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Grasp the special value of your service or product &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Become enthusiastic about what you offer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Make the conscious or unconscious decision to respond favorably to your offer, and take the action you're hoping for. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Come to the FABULOUS La Griglia on July 9 to hear how local businesses are using their Marketing Mantra and the language of social media to grow their businesses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
