Free Launchpad workshops

Via ERDF funding, we’re able to offer FREE workshops, in partnership with Launchpad. We are delivering ten workshops over the next ten months and there really will be something for everyone. Here are a few of the workshops we will be running:

• Creating video content for your business

• Creating images/visual content for your business

• Building a Wix website

• Facebook tools and Facebook advertising

• Finding your new target market

• Strategic marketing

• Using Instagram to boost your business

Let’s look at the first topic in more detail: Creating Video Content for Your Business

You’ll likely know that you should be using videos to help market your business. The issue for most SMEs is that they don’t have the same budget as large corporates; they can’t afford TV adverts nor bring in the professionals. So, how can they ever compete?

The truth is, videos are more affordable now than they’ve ever been - you can even do your own videos for FREE. That’s right...for FREE!

DIY videos will never equate to a Spielberg blockbuster; however, they can be good enough for the needs of most small businesses. During our upcoming workshop we’ll show you how to utilise your phone and what you have around your house in order to create basic marketing videos that will really drive engagement and interaction on social media.

In this short workshop, we will teach you:

• The fundamentals of videos

• How to plan your video

• Different types of videos to use on social media and your website

• Which tools we recommend you use and why

• The software we recommend you use and how to get the best from it

Videos have helped to launch businesses, turn them around in their hour of need, and take them to a whole new level. No matter where you are in your business journey, videos are a necessity and will help you reach a larger audience.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth 1.8 million.
