What is it?

Although we call it a formal name, Marketing Consultations, it is an informal, no-pressure meeting. We sit with you in your office or at your kitchen table and have a discussion with you about your business goals and needs. We can discuss your current product offerings, marketing plans, and your interest in expanding domestically and internationally. From this, we can help identify for you which state programs our agencies offer that could benefit your business and help you to expand.

Some of the programs include:

· domestic test marketing,

· trade show exhibit cost sharing,

· export market research, and

· exporting financial assistance for ag companies.

Who puts this on?

The Montana Department of Agriculture (Angie DeYoung and Cassie Egbert) and the Montana Department of Commerce (Sara Warren and Lonie Stimac) are partnering to bring you a full range of marketing consultation services.

For those interested in export markets, we will also use expertise from our trade offices in Taiwan and Japan, as well as from the U.S. Department of Commerce (Carey Hester).

When is it?

Here are the dates that we’ll be in your area:

· January 8-9, Helena & Great Falls

· January 27-28, Bozeman

· February 3-4, Missoula

· April 1-4, Kalispell

· April 27-30, Billings, Glendive, Hi Line

How do I sign up?

There is no cost to participate in the Marketing Consultations. Contact Angelyn DeYoung at (406) 444-5424, or by email at [email protected], and let her know of your interest, if you’re available the days we’re in your area, best time to meet you, and location of the meeting (office, home, etc.). We’ll then send you a confirmation of the date and time, as well as a short questionnaire about your business.

Regards,

-Angie
