SUMMARY:Going Beyond Discounts: Using Email Marketing to Drive True Diner Loyalty
DESCRIPTION:Provided by the National Restaurant Show by Informa\n.75 CEU available \nThink “email marketing” for restaurants just means offering discounts? Think again! True loyalty from your diners isn’t just price-driven. It’s about their experience and that starts in their inbox. How well do you “know” them? How often is what you send relevant specifically for them? How good are you at sharing specific invites and updates by email (and not just blast updates on social media)? If you want real loyalty\, you should be treating your email subscribers like the Insiders they are. Jessica Best will bring her 15+ years of restaurant email marketing & loyalty program experience to this year’s show. Bring your questions: She’ll be hosting an “Ask Me Anything” style workshop where you can finally get answers to how to make email marketing work better for you… and your diners. Win-win! \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:(On Demand) Duct Fundamentals - The Magic of Duct
DESCRIPTION:Provided by CaptiveAir\n1 CEU available \nSpeaker:\nBill Griffin\nGerman Tabor \nCourse Description:\nNo matter how perfect your HVAC unit conditions the air\, it can all go awry if the delivery method is not well thought out. The first step is understanding exactly how air behaves in a duct. From Bernoulli’s Theorem to friction\, dynamic losses\, system effect\, we’ll visualize every step of the way to make the concepts intuitive and fun. \nPrerequisite Knowledge:  None.\nLearning Objective 1:  Understanding Total\, Static\, and Dynamic Pressures within the context of ductwork.\nLearning Objective 2:  Understanding friction losses and the factors at play in a duct.\nLearning Objective 3:  Understanding dynamic losses and pressure loss coefficients within duct fittings.\nLearning Objective 4:  Understanding system effect and its impact on duct losses \nTo access\, click this link –\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXJ79HH3wi0
