Really enjoyed the discussions with everyone at the event today. Thanks for listening to Chris Woodhouse and me doing our best to share some ideas and strategies to use technology for marketing improvement. Great to listen to fellow presenters Mathew (www.peakdistrictcreations.co.uk) and Paul (www.spinlessplates.com).
I promised a link to the thoughts I shared on how to make marketing work for small businesses. This takes you to a tool I use for sharing documents - box.net. Can be handy for sharing. It also allows collaborators or those you share documents with to leave comments. And it is free so hey, nothing lost.
Insights, ideas, strategies, ----> actions.
Next steps:
Here are a few ideas to encourage you to take further action - some are free, some are low cost and some are regular price but attract grant funding if you get your skates on and talk to our event hosts at Live & Work Rural.
