DESCRIPTION
This is my presentation from the 2013 ACA Tri-State Conference. I spoke about the opportunities to engage new and existing families with your summer camp, even when it's not the summer! Topics covered include: Blogging, Web Design, Analytics, Social Media, Webinars, and other issues. This presentation also can be re-made to reflect the opportunities available to all businesses as a way to engage customers.
