January 17: #IndieMeetUps and Easy Membership And Loyalty Program Marketing Ideas

Hey Indies!

I hope you had a relaxing long weekend -- I was so glad for the extra R&R after a busy holiday. One of the fun things I did was host #IndieMeetup Charlotte. We had a small but enthusiastic group. In case you didn't know, a dozen #IndieMeetUps were hosted nationwide! From the San Francisco Bay area to Chattanooga and Atlanta, it was all about Y-O-U! Many are already planning their next #IndieMeetUp. Click here to join your #IndieMeetUp community, and become a part of the movement!

And speaking of movements, you might enjoy yesterday's post in honor of Martin Luther's King's birthday celebration: What Martin Luther King Jr., Would Say About Today's Small Business Owner. I hope you enjoy that, and would love your thoughts.

Oh! And check out these Membership and Loyalty Program Marketing Ideas!

Now, onto the super stuff going on at Indie Social!
