VENTURA COUNTY SCORE: INCREASING YOUR SALES ON AMAZON WITH MARKETING AND AD CAMPAIGNS
August 9 @ 10:30 am
Amazon has one of the largest advertising platforms in the world. Amazon’s US digital ad revenues were reported as $31.16 billion in 2021, rising 57.8% over the prior year and representing 9% of the digital advertising market. In Q1 2022, Amazon’s ad revenues grew 25% year over year. When you start off selling on Amazon, you have to advertise to generate “sales velocity”. As your Product listing matures, you still have to advertise, but at a lower % of Sales to maintain your momentum. In this workshop John Richardson will discuss the basics as it relates to how to setup your own Amazon Marketing and Ad Campaigns.

CMTC: ORGANIC WASTE REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE FOR CALIFORNIA FOOD MANUFACTURERS
August 18 @ 11:00 am
Consistent with the strength, breadth, and punitive nature of the California Clean Air Act, on January 1st, 2022, the state of California began implementing SB 1383 – Short-Lived Climate Waste Management & Pollutant Act. It has significant implications for food manufacturers and jurisdictions, much of which is off of their radar yet vital to know. Organic waste pollution is one of the leading causes of climate change in California. SB 1383 provides rigorous and comprehensive legislation to reduce methane gas production in our landfills from organic waste by 50% by year-end and 75% by 2025. The implementation has begun within each jurisdiction with specific waste reduction goals provided by Cal Recycle. As you might imagine, the jurisdiction can’t do it alone — so, these same goals are being filtered down to local businesses, manufacturers, commercial providers, and residences. During this webinar, CMTC Contractor Debbie Goldfarb will provide an in-depth overview of SB 1383 including its timeline, requirements, and penalties for noncompliance.
