Serving Up Great Ideas at Catersource

Ideaworks Marketing presented at the Catersource and Event Solutions Conference & Tradeshow, which was held March 8-11 in Las Vegas. Peter Steve, Managing Partner and Donna Hansbury, President, led two sessions designed to help caterers maximize their marketing strategy and ROI.

The first session was entitled Creating a Marketing Plan You Will Use, Not Lose. In this workshop, Peter and Donna took participants through a step-by-step process of creating a GPS-themed marketing plan that yielded maximum results with minimal effort. At the end of the workshop, participants walked away with a marketing plan in-hand — one they will use, not lose.

Peter and Donna explained exactly what positioning is, and walked participants through the seven steps that would help them clearly differentiate their catering business from the competition.

This will be the third time we are a part of the conference’s educational curriculum and we look forward to an engaging exchange with participants during both of our sessions.”
