Marketing Workshop: strategy & social media for farmers and foodies

Learn how to effectively promote your business and make more sales in a way that works for you!

You don’t have to spend piles of time and money on marketing to see results - just the right tools and a bit of a gameplan. Get the direction, confidence and tips you need in this marketing and social media workshop presented by marketer Jessi Horder from Elephant Pigeon Communication (funded thanks to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal)

• Tricks for increasing your reach and connecting with more people
• Other cost effective marketing tools and tips (both digital and old school) to make your life easier

And you'll walk away with:

• A clearer picture of where to spend your marketing time and energy
• A stronger understanding of how to tackle social media marketing
• Ideas and immediate next steps to kick start your growth
• A workbook packed with all of your notes and ideas to jog your memory whenever you need a bit of inspiration
