Small Business Support Day: A full day of small business advice from local experts to help you do what you do, better.

Wednesday 14 March at Tavistock Enterprise Hub

Small Business Support Day offers presentations and Q&A sessions from branding and marketing consultants, chartered accountants, a business and lifestyle coach, and a general business advisor.

TOOLS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Clair Wellsbury-Nye of TamarValleyGirl digital marketing will show you her favourite tools that make social media marketing easier, from saving time and staying focused, to finding inspiration and creating your own images. Plus, she’ll tell you why Facebook’s latest changes aren’t the end of the world…

MARKETING STRATEGY

David Crawford of Drakewalls Marketing will take you through his marketing strategy tips and how to get the best out of your campaigns by scrutinising current processes, procedures and monitoring measures as well as understanding the historic and future success and failures of campaigns. He’ll also discuss business branding, positioning and messaging to help improve your conversion rates.

BUSINESS STRUCTURES, REPORTING REQUIREMENTS & HOW TO MANAGE THEM

Katherine and Andrew Wing of Wings Chartered Accountants will lead you through the different types of business structure – are you using the right structure for you? They’ll also be talking about the new tax system which will be brought in next year – ‘Making Tax Digital’ – and how you can prepare yourself for the changes.

RE-PRIORITISE YOUR WORK-LIFE BALANCE

For individuals with busy schedules and complex responsibilities at work or at home, David Buckley from The Summit Path will provide some practical and useful tips on how to thrive instead of survive.

YOUR BRAND: THE BEDROCK OF YOUR BUSINESS

Clair of TamarValleyGirl returns to demonstrate her branding workshop, which guides business owners through what they offer, what they stand for, their image and personality, and what makes them different. This forms the foundation for all your marketing activity, and can help you make decisions about business development in the future.
