All business needs to be visible to both prospective and existing customers, but choosing the right approach to effectively marketing services or products can be a daunting task.

Is your web presence and marketing working for you?
What do you spend on your on-line success?
What do you want to spend on your on-line success?
What should you spend on your on-line success?

As a business owner/manager you need to understand the answers to these questions and more, such as, how much should you know about your web-site design and marketing in order to make sure it is delivering sales to your business.

Find out some answers to these questions and more at this evening workshop hosted by Software Alliance Wales.
