Online Marketing 2014:Online Marketing 2014:Trends and TechniquesTrends and Techniques

● Every year we do a survey quilters that shop online to find out their online shopping habits.

● When I did the survey for the first time four years ago, only 51% of those surveyed said they prefer to shop online. Today that figure is close to 59%.

● Fact: more quilters are shopping online than any other time before. The trend is steadily growing.

● As with any era where there is a lot of change, there is a lot of opportunity. Let's discuss some of these amazing opportunities today.

● My hope is that you'll gain a tip or two that will assist you in your online marketing efforts.
