Maine's Destination Business Seminar - Jon Schallert
The Maine Downtown Center, a program of the Maine Development Foundation, is pleased to offer Maine's Destination Business Seminar May 2 and 3, featuring noted national business expert Jon Schallert. Jon will conduct two one-day workshops designed to help business owners increase customer traffic, sales, and profits. Advertising expert Richard Carraro, who will provide unique advertising tips and techniques designed to maximize a business's outreach, will join Jon this year.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn from national business experts! Thanks to grant support from the Bank of America Foundation, we are able to offer these sessions at a significantly reduced cost of $50 ($25 for members of the Maine Development Foundation and Main Street Maine communities).

Advance registration is required. Deadline is April 25th. GO
