Description
In this 5-minute, online class, you’ll learn how to create an effective marketing mix for your small business. There is no “best type” of marketing for small businesses. The type of marketing that will be the most effective for your small business will depend on: what you’re selling, who’s in your target market, and your marketing budget. In this class, you’ll discover how to test and track your marketing, so that you can see what’s working and what’s not. You’ll learn about the top 25 types of marketing that most small businesses use, and find out how to narrow it down to the 3-5 that will work best for your business.
