So this list of 101 ways to get in front of more local customers takes your internet marketing experience (not much) and time (even less!) into account.

Follow some or all of these tips to get more local customers with internet marketing.  More importantly, to make your business shine in the right places where your customers hang out!

PRESS RELEASE
Submitted by: Bridget Hazelbaker

Hangzhou Education Delegation and Richmond Community Schools have launched a 3 day professional training seminar for a delegation of 12 Chinese educators.

A group of Chinese guests have arrived at Richmond Community Schools. They are 12 educators from Hangzhou City. The Assistant Professor of Zhejiang International Studies University, You Xiapei and Dr. Allen Bourff, the Superintendent of Richmond Community Schools have led the delegation. The other members are different school principals representing the Hangzhou Education Delegation.

The visiting principals are shadowing RCS principals and have touring Richmond’s twelve school buildings. The delegation has visited with Richmond Mayor Sally Hutton, and will
participate in the Depot District’s Christmas Celebration.

In October, Superintendent Dr. Allen Bourff went to Hangzhou City with a group of American principals. Dr. Bourff experienced what he claimed to be a rewarding visit in China and he
hoped that the Chinese principals will have a pleasant and fruitful journey in the United States.  He believes that the exchange of educators between two countries will enhance mutual
understanding and promote educational reform.

Richmond Art Museum to Show the Original Feature Film The Why in the Road

film

Richmond, Indiana – Richmond Art Museum’s McGuire Hall will be the setting for the original feature production The Why in the Road at 2 pm on Sunday, November 18, 2012.  Admission is free.

The film takes viewers on a journey to travel Indiana’s historic roads and try to answer the question “Why would anyone want to preserve a historic road?”  Is it the construction methods, the materials used, the people who lived on them or the journey remembered?  Viewers will  see the scenic beauty, meet amazing people and hear wonderful stories about life along the road, past and present.  Then someday when faced with the “Y” in the road, each viewer’s choice may be to slow down, travel the historic road and relive some of their own memories.

Produced, written, filmed and directed by three mid-westerners, the film sets out to answer the question “Why are Indiana’s historic roads so important to preserve?” Candy Yurcak of Metamora, Indiana, was the film’s Producer/Director and also serves as Director of Whitewater Canal Scenic Byway. Lori Cravens of Zionsville, Indiana, served as Associate Producer/Director. The creative lead on the project was Logan Moeleer of Cincinnati, Ohio, who took on the role of  Cinematographer/Director.

Wayne County is well-represented in the film with on-camera interviews with a number of Wayne County residents. Nancy Sartain, Leisure Marketing Manager at Richmond/Wayne County Convention & Tourism Bureau, planned, organized and escorted the film crew to various Wayne County sites important to the Old National Road and US 27.

The film debuted at the IMAX Theatre at the Indiana State Museum in September. Here is a link to the trailer for the film: https://vimeo.com/48992357
