- Let’s brainstorm on what we can do to improve attendance. Want to get more people to RSVP
- Steve spoke with Chris Smithco, U Village Apple Store manager, he learned that they consider OnForce as their primary place for referrals.
- Should NWMacPro do some marketing?
- Maybe we’ll make this a conversation topic at our first meeting in Jan 2012.
- Shelley will ask other ACN regional chapters how they market themselves where OnForce is also active.
- Shelley explained why ACNs are now required to have $1M in business liability insurance. Apple requires this of all sub-contractors, that is, everybody to whom they refer customers.
