The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center (UGA SBDC) is traveling around different cities in Georgia with the Accelerate Your Business Series. This series provides business owners with the tools and resources they need—and fast. One day of accelerated training gets small business owners up to speed quickly to learn important skills they can take back and use in their business. On August 20, Accelerate Your Digital Marketing will be in Bainbridge, Georgia.

Accelerate Your Digital Marketing is part of the Accelerate Your Business series. This is an interactive course designed to teach small business owners and key employees how to be successful in the digital landscape. In one day of accelerated training, attendees will get up to speed on their marketing knowledge to develop successful digital marketing strategies, get their businesses found online, reach and engage customers, and grow their businesses.

Key takeaways include:

• Make Search Engines work for your business so that customers find you.

• Examine the current “Do’s and Don’ts” of Social Media Marketing.

• Learn Content Marketing strategies to engage customers.

• Learn to evaluate your marketing ROI.

“The Accelerator Series provides education and tools business owners can take back and implement in their business. But we don’t stop there,” says Debbie Finney, SBDC Entrepreneur Development Specialist.  “At the end of class, attendees have the opportunity, if they choose, to schedule a follow-up meeting with a UGA SBDC consultant at no-cost to continue working on their marketing strategies and their business. The Small Business Development Center, a Public Service and Outreach Extension of UGA, provides no cost confidential consulting to for-profit businesses in every county of Georgia. We want to be sure business owners not only learn in class, but that they also have the continued one-on-one support from their local UGA SBDC office to implement what they learn.”
