Marketing Workshops with Cinnamon Edge and Bury Chamber of Commerce

Thank you to those of you who took part in our survey at the start of the year, where we asked you what marketing-related workshops you would be interested in attending during 2011.

In your answers, you said one of the subjects you would most like to know more about is the changes Google has recently made to local search and Google Places.

On that front, I have some bad news and some good news:

• The bad news is you missed our first workshop of the year, on Google Places Changes (it was on 11 February).
  
• The good news is we’re running it again on 31 March.
  

We received lots of really positive feedback from the first event, and the re-run will be even better. The price for the workshop is the same as before, and you can still benefit from our early bird discount.

(If you’re one of the first two sole traders to apply you can save even more.)

The new event is on our Eventbrite page, at http://newgoogleplaces.eventbrite.com

We have one before that on Business Writing, at http://bestbusinesswriting.eventbrite.com - that's on 23 March!

And ALL this year’s marketing workshops are at http://marketingworkshops.eventbrite.com

We're also running workshops on Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Domination, Mobile Marketing, Staging Your Own Workshops and even Writing Your Own Book - a great marketing tool for your business!

Have a look at the full list on http://marketingworkshops.eventbrite.com but seats at the first two are very limited - and the discount is still available - so book today.

Get up to Date with Google's Changes

We will be running an 'emergency workshop' on the fall-out from the changes Google made to local search in November which are still causing confusion and dismay to local businesses around the world.

By allowing ourselves a couple of months for the dust to settle we have been able to get a firm grip on the implications and the next steps that all local businesses need to make if they are going to profit from the increasing use of local search by customers and clients.

Roughly 80 percent of all searches for local services and products begin online. That means you NEED to be the company your potential customers see when they start that search. We'll show you how.

The workshop - the first of a series we'll be staging in conjuction with the Bury St Edmunds Chamber of Commerce - is this coming Friday at 9.am, at the Active Business Centre (St Andrews Castle), St Andrews Street South, Bury St Edmunds.

Full details and how to book are at http://googlechanges.eventbrite.com/ and the full list of courses is at http://marketingworkshops.eventbrite.com/.

Book now and get ahead of your local competitors!
