DIY Marketing – Bespoke Training
In these challenging trading times there is no doubt that we’re all doing out best to minimise expenditure and safeguard our bottom lines. However when it comes to marketing it’s often tempting to simply say we can’t afford it right now, though you should take care as out of sight is out of mind! Now is indeed the time when many organisations look to trim costs by working with different suppliers, or in some cases have to find for new suppliers as their trusted ones have ceased trading. It’s up to you to be sure you’re getting you message out there and that you’re easy to find.
Here at CS Communicate, whilst still supplying our clients with excellent, effective and affordable marketing and design services, we have added another string to our bow; well in truth we’ve resurrected an old one that should have great appeal to those looking to trim costs and be in control.
Jonathan, who spent many years lecturing in marketing and has showcased his work on TV, has put together a series of short and affordable training courses that will help you develop a marketing edge for yourself, giving you an edge for years to come. He has developed a variety of courses specifically to help in the current climate.
These bespoke courses vary in length from 2 hours upwards and can be delivered to individuals or large groups, equally they are designed to be adapted to individual businesses or specific business sectors, for the moment there are three main courses:
Shoestring Marketing
– looks at how to get maximum exposure with minimal capital outlay and covers everything from business cards to websites and PR. Ideal for anyone who feels they may be spending too much money without really understanding the impact effective marketing can have.
Working websites
– shows you how to develop content and basic copywriting skills as well as use of images, with basic design and search engine optimisation tips. This is a must for anyone about to establish a website presence, or developing their current site, or those who may have a great designer to build their site but who doesn’t truly understand marketing –far more common than you’d expect.
Promotional Planning
– will help you to understand how to write a Marketing Plan that works for you and your business, enabling you to focus on what matters. A Plan that will become the backbone of all your marketing activity. This will help any business manager, particularly those who are busy doing things without any real structure or dire ction.
These course are planned and professional and, chances are, much more reasonable than you may expect. E-mail: jon@cscommunicate.co.uk for more details, or just pick up the phone.
We are also working through Train to Gain who may also be able to offer a free analysis of your leadership and management skills and may even provide you with training grants to help you develop. We at CS Communicate can point you in the right direction here too.
