June 5th marked MassLOMAP’s fourth annual Super Marketing Conference in Boston. Marketing experts traveled across the continent to provide their knowledge on marketing trends, ethical use of social media, importance of customer service, search engine optimization, analyzing return on investment, branding techniques, networking best practices, and much much more. To view the speaker’s presentations and materials, visit Suffolk University Law School’s Blackboard site (Username: ALS-Super14; Password: Suffolk12).
While the conference was in session, attendees in-person and on the web shared their own views and summaries of the conference, all using a popular web marketing tool you may have heard of: Twitter. Here are a few tweet highlights from the day via #LHLM (Lunch Hour Legal Marketing).
