SUMMARY:Marketing your Business
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMarketing involves thinking of your business in terms of customer needs and satisfaction. While selling focuses on getting people to exchange their money for your products or services\, marketing is the value you give them. \nBusinesses only thrive by understanding their customers and using marketing strategies to meet their needs. Today’s consumers are overwhelmed by promotional ‘noise’ (in both on and offline environments)\, so it’s essential that your message is the one that ‘cuts through’. \nThe focus of this workshop is on offline (traditional) marketing.

The focus is on what marketing actually is and how to write a marketing plan for your business. A range of offline (traditional) marketing channels are covered\, with online marketing (including websites\, email and social media) referred to only briefly. Our Digital Marketing Essentials workshop covers this in more depth. \nWhile it’s not essential to attend our How to Write a Business Plan workshop first\, it is useful to have considered the overall direction of your business\, before creating your marketing plan. \nAbout the presenter\nOur foundation workshops are presented by SBDC business advisers and local small business owners. These presenters have been selected for their vast experience and expertise in this subject area. \n📆Thursday 6 August\, 2026 \n⏰05:00pm – 8:00pm \n📍Online \n🎟️Register here \n💲20 \nThis workshop is offered at a reduced cost thanks to substantial funding from the Government of Western Australia.
