When a business owner is asked about their marketing strategy, many think about their website, social media or advertising. All those things are a part of marketing, but they are not strategy. They are tactics. Tactics are only as effective as the strategy behind them— the WHY of marketing.
WeBC’s “Strategic Marketing: Build a Marketing Plan for Your Small Business” is a self-paced module to help you organize your ideas into a marketing playbook for your business.
This interactive on-demand learning works through the six keys and seven steps of effective marketing so you can create a cohesive strategy that helps you make better marketing decisions that maximize your time and budget.
This self-paced module is offered in three parts:
- Chapter 1 | Strategic Marketing: Work Smarter, Not Harder
- Chapter 2 | Research: Understand Your Most Valuable Customers
- Chapter 3 | Strategy: Deliver the Right Message in the Right Place
Thanks to the Government of Canada’s Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, this course is currently free!
