Duct Tape Marketing
This month’s Bizladies networking event is at Royal Golf Club with guest speaker Eman Bu Rashid who will be presenting Duct Tape Marketing principles. Yeah, we had to look it up too. It’s a marketing system based on the book by John Jantsch, silly name but it’s apparently cheap and very effective, just like Duct Tape!
