9.30am-4.00pm
£25.00 includes lunch.

For many small businesses the priority is often to concentrate on production, fulfil the orders and keep an eye on the cash flow.

Marketing and promotion is often perceived as an expensive luxury, something that they’ll get round to when they have the time- “After-all my product is so good I don’t need to tell anybody about it-it’ll sell itself!”

The reality is however somewhat different- it’s a competitive world and rural businesses need to compete.
Marketing is a tool that when used correctly can transform the fortunes of both fledgling and established businesses however it need not cost a fortune.
