The course is organised into two training sessions of two days each, with a break in between. This gives participants time to test the things they have learned in the first session and bring their own lessons learned to the second, and also means they don’t need to be away from their business for too long. While the first session concentrates on marketing in general and its importance as well as how to go online, the second – which is complementary – concentrates on practical digital marketing techniques, including e-mail marketing, social network marketing, website marketing and others.
The course is based on international best practice in digital marketing and wide-ranging expert knowledge. It is interactive and includes practical exercises and real life examples, walking participants through the ideas of modern marketing and how to make best use of them in digital marketing from start to finish. The trainers are all experienced marketing and online experts, who have seen the difference that digital marketing can make.
The training is part of the EU-funded Women in Business programme, implementedby the EBRD as part of EU4Business, helping women-led SMEs access the finance and the know-how that they need to grow. Under the programme, the EBRD provides access to finance through credit lines to local banks dedicate, alongside business advice to help businesses become more competitive.
