Marketing Minute: PRINT IS DEAD! The old way is, for sure. Print that doesn't super-serve its audience and community especially when delivered straight to their doorsteps, that's done. The print that survives is one like ours, FREE to the audience, quality and tailored to their likes and needs. Call it an algorithm with pages.

What a great day in Huntsville! 🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Huntsville Mini Trade Show and helped make the event such a success.

We are especially grateful to our sponsors and the Huntsville Council for all of the time, planning, and hard work that went into bringing everyone together. Our speakers shared so much valuable information, and we loved seeing our CAI Alabama community connect, learn, and support one another.

We’re also thrilled to share that attendees donated 53 jars of peanut butter for the Food Bank of North Alabama and a big bag of pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House! ❤️ Thank you to everyone who brought donations and helped us give back to two incredible organizations serving our community.

Marketing Minute: no one here is going to tell you that A.I. is a great thing right now, however, it is doing something that no other technology has ever done and it's going to help your business get found online

A Touch of Dolly in Downtown Athens 💗

Athens Florist & Gifts has decked out one of our historic downtown lampposts in Dolly’s honor — pink ribbons, butterflies, and blooms wrapped from the globe light all the way down, with a sign that says it all: “We Will Always Love You, Dolly.”

It’s a beautiful tribute in the heart of downtown. If you’re in Athens this week, take a stroll by and see it for yourself — and maybe hum a little “Jolene” while you’re at it.

💐 Thank you to Athens Florist & Gifts for honoring a music legend in true downtown Athens style.
