Hi gang, I'm a marketing/design professional who works with a lot of food organizations, and will be giving a workshop at the next FLCB meeting in March on self-promotion strategies for small businesses. I'm looking for:

1. companies to highlight as part of my talk
2. quotes/stories I can incorporate into my talk
3. ideas for what FLCB members would like to learn on this topic

I'd love to hear from some of you regarding both challenges and successes with marketing and self-promotion—especially in this down economy. What has worked for you in the past? Are you changing your approach in 2009? What are some strategies and tips you'd find helpful to learn?
