Cinda Baxter of The 3/50 Project
Cinda Baxter understands small business from the inside out, having once been a retailer herself.
As past recipient of two national Retailer Excellence Awards and press coverage ranging from
Modern Bride to the
Wall Street Journal, she now "pays it forward" to retailers and vendors through her consulting company, Always Upward, and as founder of
The 3/50 Project. Her resumé includes seats on numerous influential boards in the gift industry; speaking engagements throughout the US and abroad; and as Contributing Editor for the trade publication "Gifts and Decorative Accessories Magazine." Her blog on AlwaysUpward.com, is considered a "must read" in the industries that she serves.
Singled out by
Inc. Magazine for her expertise in using social media to engage audiences offline, Cinda is a respected social networking pioneer. By the time Facebook had become part of our daily lives, she’d already founded numerous successful online communities, including RetailSpeaks, Brilliant Ink, and The Print Lab.
Her launch of The 3/50 Project on March 30, 2009 garnered more than 15,000 registered supporting businesses and over 30,000 Facebook fans in its first nine months alone...without spending a penny on advertising or marketing.
Advance tickets for this event are no longer available, as of 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 12. Please join us by purchasing your tickets at the door on Friday morning, August 13 in LC 102.
