An online Purdue Extension workshop series that seeks to help Indiana small businesses build or enhance their online presence will be available statewide this fall.
“Digital Ready Businesses” was launched in 2017. The program has been updated and new workshops added to reflect current trends. Participants can attend all 10 (1 hour) sessions or only those that meet their needs. The training, led by county Extension educators, covers a variety of topics, from website basics to podcasting, blogging, the ins and outs of social media, and email analytics and marketing.
The series is being offered virtually starting October from 2-3:00pm ET:
1. Claim Your Online Turf - Oct. 2
2. Website Basics - Oct. 7
3. Grow Your Virtual Customers - Oct. 9
4. Search Engine Optimization - Oct. 14
5. Podcasting 101 - Oct. 21
6. How to Blog Successfully - Oct. 23
7. Introduction to Social Media - Oct. 28
8. Social Media Analytics & Marketing - Nov 4
9. Digital Storefront - Nov. 6
10. Social Media Plan and Content - Nov. 11
Sessions are $25.
In follow-up surveys, participants have reported significant increases in sales, customer base and customer engagement, and nearly 9 in 10 recommended the series to others.
“We have a long way to go,” one participant responded, “but at least we now have a plan. Since our workshop I started concentrating on Facebook and Instagram with the help of my daughter. She started to post daily even though our content/backdrop was not exactly how we wanted it. We grew Facebook from 1,547 to 2,079 and Instagram from 676 to 2,013.”
