FINAL CALL! Make the most of promoting your website

We have a few limited places available on “Techniques and Strategies for Promoting Your Website”, which will be held in Southampton on 17 March.

This course comes as a result of the first BMF organised Web Marketing course, but is also suitable for those who are new to the topic.

Is your website a benefit or a liability? This full-day workshop will help you to understand how YOUR website should be working for your business or organisation and enable you to take action in effective online and offline promotion, driving visitors to your website.

The course will start with a recap for those who attended the first course and an introduction for those who did not attend, bringing delegates up to the same level for the training to continue.

The rest of the course will cover new material throughout the day.  Email marketing is a large section and all the relevant aspects will be covered from a selection of tools and systems, to running the email campaigns, legal issues relating to direct mailing, database development and the integration of the email to the website, analysis and looking for opportunities from the results.

A section on Google Adwords will cover the set up and research required, writing a good Adwords ad, the follow through to the website and then analysis of the results and how to focus the Adwords campaign to target specific customers.

Social media will also be addressed, including some of the latest techniques and how companies can determine if their business can use social media to build their business.
