Expand your business while others are dwindling in this slow economy. Make better use of today's technology, take advantage of free and low-cost services and software to maximize your marketing dollar. And most importantly...

Find and Reach customers who are looking for what you have to offer

 

Marketing connects your product or service with buyers or clients. It is the most complex and constantly changing part of making a small business succeed. When your days are spent creating your product or providing services to clients, it’s hard to focus on building your business.Most business owners don't give marketing the attention it requires to make their business thrive. In fact, 70 percent of new small businesses last at least 2 years, but only about half survive for 5 years*.

Learn how to draw customers to your website and your business

 

Limited to a small group, this workshop allows for interaction rather than a lecture format. Here’s your opportunity to ask questions and get answers from experienced small business owners who understand the demands of marketing in a slow economy on a limited budget and know how to make it work. An afternoon tea is included in this workshop, providing you with an opportunity to discuss your marketing questions and concerns in more detail.

Don't just take notes - Interact - ask questions - make sure you understand
