The Greater Minden Chamber is launching a new professional development series aimed at providing local business owners and professionals with practical ideas, expert insight and strategies they can immediately put to work.

“Breakfast with the Experts” will feature a different expert during each session, addressing timely topics that affect local businesses and professionals. The sessions will be presented in a casual, one-hour format and will include breakfast and networking opportunities.

The inaugural session, “Turning One-Time Buyers into Lifelong Fans,” will feature Erin “Bristol” Woods of Green Growth Group.

Woods will share strategies for building lasting customer loyalty, using text-message and email marketing to generate repeat business and turning social media followers into active advocates for a brand.

The session is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Greater Minden Chamber, located at 110 Sibley Road. Networking will begin at 7:45 a.m.

The cost is $10 for Chamber members and $15 for future members. Breakfast is included with registration.

The program is open to business owners, managers, marketing professionals and anyone interested in strengthening their professional skills. Seating is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.
