You will come away from this workshop with an action plan that you can implement immediately to bring more clients and build stronger relationships with your clients and prospects. At it’s best, email marketing is a powerhouse marketing tool. For small businesses email marketing is a mandatory part of your marketing repertoire because it keeps you at the front of your customers mind just at the point they are ready to buy.</p>
<p>Smart businesses use email marketing. Why? Because it generates real business results. Here is an example from one of our previous attendees…</p>
<blockquote><p>“I just wanted to say that I found the session very useful and relevant – I have been on lots of training sessions in the past that have been a waste of time (i.e. you could just save time and read through the notes instead!). There was a real focus on practical outcomes plus I got some great ideas from other attendees…We sent out the January email last Thursday to about 60 people and have had 3 tables (total 7 people) use the voucher. We have not had any response to previous emails so this is a great improvement for us! ” <strong>Sandy Reskaurat, Chang Thai Restaurant</strong></p></blockquote>

<li>How to get into your customers / clients inbox</li>

</ul>
<h2>What you’ll learn in the afternoon</h2>
<p>The afternoon session is designed to help you create your first email newsletter. You will have time to work through your own ideas and we will look at Mail Chimp, which is a free to use for the first 1000 subscribers and helps you get over the “how do I make my newsletter look good” hurdle.</p>
