Bracknell based Marketing Consultancy Announces Launch Date of Cut-Price Marketing Workshop

May 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Direct-to-Market, an e-commerce, marketing & website design consultancy based in Bracknell, Berkshire recently announced that it will run a number of cut-price workshops. The workshops are designed specifically to help local businesses during the recession rather than make the presenters a profit, and the charge is purely to cover room-hire and promotion.

The delegates, all owners of small and medium-sized businesses, will learn how to use the internet to generate new customers and in so doing both increase their sales revenue and cut their advertising costs.

The workshops will be presented by Andrew Pearce, an experienced marketing consultant and owner of Direct-to-Market. He explained the reason for the workshops: “In the current economic climate many small businesses are struggling with sales and need to generate more revenue, but they are also faced with the problem of not having enough money to advertise.

“By teaching the owners of these businesses how to use the internet themselves to generate more customers we aim to help them to both increase their sales and simultaneously reduce their advertising costs.

“As local people ourselves we live and work in this area, are active in the local community, and want to see it thriving despite the recession. This is our way of giving something back to the community that has helped us to succeed.”

Pearce concluded: “The workshops are content-packed as anybody can see from the testimonials on our website. There is no attempt made to sell anything; this is pure education. The small charge is purely to cover the room hire and advertising costs, nothing more.”

The inaugural public e-Commerce Marketing Workshop will run in Bracknell on Tuesday 9th June, with a price of just £17 per seat. To learn more, visit http://www.direct-to-market.co.uk/workshop
