Patty Farmer got us started with a session titled “You Got the Opt-in – Now What?!” She taught us all how to increase our email list opt-ins, and then how to keep them engaged.

She was followed by an amazing group of panelists in the Local Search Day panel which was moderated by Bernadette Coleman of Advice Local. The panel discussion focused on Epic Local Strategies.
