Whatever it takes, don’t miss Social Media Club Chicago’s Sugar and Spice holiday party on December 13 at the Chicago Tribune Museum. [Disclosure: I am honored to serve on the Social Media Club Chicago board, which means it's our job to invite everyone to cool parties every month since October 2008!!!] Will you be there?

2 Cooler Social Media Marketing Webinars
You have about four weeks to get ready for 2012. Don’t let another year go by watching your competition own the market you want to be in.

Small Business Saturday Deal for Small Businesses
It’s the time of year when you have more buying power than ever. You can choose where to spend your holiday budget: big box or small business.
Thanks to American Express, Saturday is being declared “Small Business Saturday. President Obama is a big promoter:
“From the mom-and-pop storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups that keep America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the cornerstones of our Nation’s promise. Through events such as Small Business Saturday, we keep our local economies strong and help maintain an American economy that can compete and win in the 21st century.” President Obama via ABC News

What Big Brands Can Learn about Social Media from Small Business
We’re all in the same club: #MsTech on Facebook, a small group of women technology enthusiasts in Chicago. While we help each other out every day, it’s not often that we get to hear each other speak.
Thanks to Hope Bertram, Social Media Masters Summit organizer, I got to hear three of our members, all small business owners, talk about what big brands can learn about social media from small business. Disclosure: Because I participated in the summit’s seven day video challenge [more on that in another post], my admission ticket was complimentary.
Here are my notes with apologies in advance to the speakers for any inaccuracies. Read More…
