EMILY BETROS SALES & MARKETING SPECIALIST I am a Sales and Marketing Specialist with the City of Temple. I have a handful of responsibilities within this role. I work to sell the City of Temple as a destination to visitors, provide information to those who call our phone line or request online through the website, i.e., brochures, experiences, lodging, etc., organize our fulfillment material, and continue to maintain relationships with current accounts.
What I enjoy is how I can answer, help, and ease any and all of their worries. I want the prospects to understand the value of our business and communicate the services that we offer.
I work with the SMERF Market. SMERF stands for all events relating to social (birthdays, weddings, baby showers, etc.), military, education, religious, and fraternity groups. I think my favorite type of event to book is military balls. I enjoy how each unit has been easy and quick to work with. Typically, their events occur during the week, so I love to drop by the Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center and see their image of their event come to fruition. These military units know how to have a blast at their events.
