Small Business Workshop
How to Build Trust Quicker in a Crowded Market Presented by Daniel Canvas, CEO, ElectroDash
Join us Tuesday, June 9 from 11:30AM1:00PM at the Shelby County Services Building -Large Conference Room (1123 County Services Drive, Pelham, AL 35124). This workshop for Small Business Owners & Marketing Managers will explore why so many good businesses still get overlooked on-line and what it takes to build trust quicker. We’ll cover:
u Why visibility alone is no longer enough -- especially in a world shaped by AI, search and increasingly generic content,
u Why clear positioning, real proof and credible public presence matter
more than ever,
u Challenging the idea that businesses need to show up everywhere, and instead focus on where trust is actually being formed.
And, we’ll have a practical conversation about credibility, differentiation and making it easier for customers to believe you faster so you’ll leave with a clearer way to think about how trust gets built around a brand.
RSVP by noon on Monday, June 8 to kirk@shelbychamber.org. $15 for Investors and $25 for future Investors, investment includes workshop and a box lunch.
