Press Release #4: Rug Summit 12 Announces Agenda Additions

DENVER — Rug Summit 12, scheduled for October 17-18 in Denver, has announced new details of its agenda. Timothy R. Miller, CEO of Local Search Essentials and a digital marketing expert, will lead a discussion titled “Your Customers Are Cheating on You!”

The goal of this event is to help rug care specialists understand and more effectively use a mix of offline and online marketing strategies to retain customers in hyper-competitive, local markets.

Endless marketing options like pay per click, Facebook, Yellow Pages, etc., have become more expensive over the last five years on a cost-per-new-customer basis. This discussion will review a healthy mix of marketing activities and proven strategies to help protect your existing customer base and encourage them to come back.

“On average, most local service businesses only receive about 13 percent of revenue from new customers yet spend almost 80 percent of their marketing budgets to acquire them,” event representatives said. “It’s time for a change! This session is one you will not want to miss!”

You will learn…

  • How to tell who is talking to your customers
  • Insights into the market
  • How to fight for churn & increase retention
  • How to effectively balance your marketing dollars between new and past customers
  • Which digital marketing strategies work to nurture past customers and encourage referrals
  • A proven recipe for success and implementation
  • How to track and improve results over time

Rug Summit 12 is scheduled for October 17-18 in Denver.

Complete information and registration for this event is available on the Centrum Force site.
