AIA&rsquo;s Chief Marketing  Officer, Eric Granof, spoke with agents about a topic that is extremely  important in the bail bond industry, Marketing. From yellow pages to websites  and Facebook to Twitter, the agents in attendance learned how marketing has  evolved over the years and how now more than ever, they need to evolve their own  marketing if they want to remain competitive in a hyper competitive  marketplace. According to a recent study conducted by Google, 75% of small  businesses in South Carolina don&rsquo;t even have a web page.  &ldquo;Not having a web  presence in today&rsquo;s business environment is flat out crazy,&rdquo; said Granof to the  group. &ldquo;It is the equivalent of trying to get customers to come in your store  without having a door for them to walk through.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">As part of our ongoing efforts to educate  agents on the value and ins and outs of marketing a bail business, we are  launching a new whitepaper series on the subject of Marketing. The first  whitepaper is entitled <b>&ldquo;Bail Bond Marketing: Building a Brand.&rdquo;<\/b> If you would  like to receive a copy of this initial whitepaper, please email our team at <a href=\"mailto:communications@aiasurety.com?subject=Marketing%20Whitepaper%20%231\">communications@aiasurety.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our continued support of local bail agent associations, the AIA Team travelled to Florence, South Carolina this past week&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[63],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
