The ‘Eyes’ Have it When Marketing your FacilityPresenter: Christina Alvino, FineView Marketing

The expression “you eat with your eyes” is certainly true because when a dish is visually appealing, it’s not only more appetizing, but you’re willing to pay a higher price for consumption. The same holds true for customer buying behaviors. Barbara Cocoran said it best, “people shop with their eyes, and then read the details.” Everything a prospective customer sees first influences their buying decision. From your online presentation to your onsite presentation, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. In this session we’ll discuss why a visually appealing marketing presentation is key to influencing customers. And what easy, affordable solutions you can implement to have an impact on customers to buy and buy at a higher price. We’ll discuss categories like print materials, website design, onsite signage presentation and much more. In the end we’ll see how it all affects your bottom line.
