Margaret Bradshaw of Red Button Marketing is our host for this online session and she will be introducing a new concept of how a business owner can actually see marketing and then be able to plan all activity in line with a solid framework.

Margaret will talk around 4 key areas of a business which are:

  1. existing clients
  2. potential clients
  3. ways of communication and
  4. the product or service offering

By embedding a way to keep these connected, a business is on course for success.  For new businesses, this is essential and it’s vital to get a solid plan in place early so that opportunities can be maximised, ideas can be actioned and challenges can be solved.  A great opportunity to hear some key take away tips to implement into your marketing strategy.
