American Marketing Association - Madison Chapter — Madison, WI
Through the Internet, your competition is just a click away from the customer. As a business executive, you need to assess whether it’s easier for customers to do business with you - or your competitors - online. The problem is, you may be too close to your site to most objectively analyze it.

Brian will share his insights into what makes a website work. He’ll
explore website strengths, weaknesses, and best practices; touching on categories like usability, security, visibility, content, legal exposures, e-commerce, public relations, and customer service.
Bring your questions and a notepad for a timely and information-rich session.
