Marketing for Small Business

Places fill fast - contact Catriona to reserve a place on this wonderful free online course.

I know this is forever away, but a date for (some of) your diaries. 😊

I’m delighted to be delivering another online Marketing Your Small Business course on behalf of the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB), starting Monday, the 7th of September, and running every Monday from then until the 19th of October (7 weeks). The course takes place over Zoom, from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm, and because it’s fully subsidised by the CETB, there is no charge to participants.

We’ll cover the basics of marketing, market research, branding, marketing planning, as well as the digital side of things, most notably social media and websites, and more.

Registration is yet to open, but if you’re interested, drop me a line here, and I’ll add you to the list. Or give Catriona in Clonakilty a call on 086 – 020 4681.
