“Using AI In Your Small Business Marketing”
Keep hearing about how great AI is but have NO IDEA what it has to do with your business?
Does the idea of rewriting content or researching hashtags make you want to throw your computer out the window?
A bit nervous about using AI but also worried you’ll be left behind if you don’t?

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines like computers. Unlike automation, AI can learn and improve its processes and outcomes over time. AI in marketing is growing at a fast rate with technology able to edit photos/videos, write short and long-form content, generate ideas, and otherwise help with marketing tasks that every business needs help with. This talk will discuss what AI is (and isn’t), what kinds of tasks AI can help small business owners with when it comes to their marketing, and some resources for you to learn more about it.

25th Annual Baking Fest and Silent Auction

 

Have you been missing our annual Baking Fest? Bakers (and tasters) rejoice! We will once again be hosting the event, and this year, returning to our very own Carriage House Bakery for the festivities. The event will take place on Sunday, December 4th, from 12pm to 3pm.

There will be 5 categories on the sampling table…

  • Cookies
  • Desserts
  • Savory
  • Special Diet (i.e. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Diabetic Friendly)
  • Professional

Winners of each category will receive a $25 Co-op Gift Card. Bakers can register their baked goods online (see button below) or stop into the store to fill out a registration form.

This event is a great opportunity to mingle with friends and fellow members, sample delicious homemade baked goods, bid on your favorites, and help the Co-op raise money for a good cause. As is our tradition, all proceeds from the Silent Auction (and any additional donations) will benefit the Potsdam Neighborhood Center, a local organization that provides food and other financial assistance to community members in need. We hope you’ll join us!
