Free business seminar: Social media, the web, the cloud and you

Your business can’t afford to get left behind by the 21st century communication revolution. Come along to this free seminar to discover what you may be missing out on and, more importantly, how to turn technology to your advantage.

Social media
Andrew Knowles, of Writecombination, will be sharing some of the experience he’s gained through building a copywriting business using social media. Discover what works and what doesn’t, and why business marketing is becoming more about winning advocates than writing advertisements.

The web
Paul Weeks, of Digibug, will talk about why effective websites are more than just a mix of graphics and text. He’ll share proven strategies for guiding customers to your website and, once they’ve arrived, how to steer them gently but firmly to the checkout.

The cloud
Stephanie Pettitt, of Equation Accounting, will tell you her secret for building a business that’s portable, scalable and successful – despite having almost no visible means of (IT) support. She’ll open your eyes to the possibilities and potential offered by today’s technology.

And you
Come along to have your eyes opened to new ways of running and promoting your business. It’s completely free and we’ll even supply cookies. Places are limited, so book now because we predict this event will be popular.

When: 10am to 12noon, Tuesday 4 October. There will be time for questions and networking.
Where: Weymouth Community Fire Safety Centre, Radipole Lane, DT4 0QF. Free parking available.
