It is no secret that doing business
has changed as technology has advanced. Could you imagine going about your
normal day without new technology, doing business none the less? No phone, no
calculator, no computer? Think of looking something up in a book instead of
doing a simple Google search. Technology these days is supposed to make life
easier for us, but for some it has made it more challenging. Keeping up with
the newest social media platform, creating a website or even coming up with a
direct mailing are things people have said they struggle with.
This week, the Main Street Program is teaming up with the
Barnesville EDA to sponsor a Small Business Marketing Workshop to help you with
these new resources. Ryan Pesch will be here from the Minnesota Extension to
share information on e-newsletters, Facebook for business, free websites,
cooperative marketing, and direct mailings. There will also be time for
businesses and organizations from town to share with each other what has or
hasn’t been working for them. There are numerous tools out there to take
advantage of to enhance and grow your business. This is a great opportunity to
gain some insight on these tools and how to overcome the challenges of
incorporating them into your business.
The Small Business Marketing Workshop will take place on
Thursday, March 10th From 11:45 am to 1:00 pm upstairs at Wells
Fargo Bank. The cost is $5 and includes lunch from the Barnesville Dairy Queen.
For planning purposes, please contact Bailey at the Main Street Office to
register no later than 9 am that morning. To register or questions, please call
354-2479 or email mainstreet@bvillemn.net .
