The Power of PR
Most larger companies have the luxury of being able to spend big to raise awareness amongst target customers. For smaller businesses, this is generally not the case due to financial constraints. The reality, however, is that the more effectively you promote your business, the more it is likely to grow. The fundamental challenge for most small business owner-managers is therefore to find ways to promote their businesses on a shoestring.
The focus of the Power of PR programme is therefore to give participants on the Programme the skills and the confidence to do this effectively….and on a tight budget.
What does the programme involve?
2 two-hour workshops on:
- 20 October 2021: Preparing your Business for PR
