Marketing fundamentals for small business

About this event

The ultimate outcome for your business is to get your product or service to market so that customers can buy it. At the heart of that challenging and exciting process is marketing. Good marketing has the ability to facilitate an exchange at the all-important intersection of supply and demand. This webinar will help you understand how to adopt a best practice marketing approach for your business. First, you must understand who your target market customer is and identify how your core products or services will meet their needs. You will learn what motivates a customer to make a purchase and how to stimulate that purchase decision.
