LYONS, NEBRASKA - Two workshops for small businesses and entrepreneurs are set for next month in Valentine and Ainsworth, sponsored by the Center for Rural Affairs. Both sessions focus on online marketing strategies.
There is no charge, however pre-registration is requested so organizers have adequate materials.
Tuesday, June 6

Mid-Plains Community College, 715 E. Hwy 20, Valentine
Sponsors include Valentine/Cherry County Economic Development Board, Mid-Plains Community College, Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center, and GROW Nebraska
Wednesday, June 7
1 to 4 p.m.
Ainsworth Conference Center, 606 E. Fourth St., Ainsworth.

During the sessions, participants will learn about building online relationships using websites, email marketing, and social media. Time will be given for questions that participants may have about their own businesses.
“Many small business owners get caught up trying to use social media, but then forget the basic necessity of having a broader online presence,” said Monica Braun, Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center.
“I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who has started or is planning to start a business,” commented a past participant. “Last spring, I attended an online marketing and social media workshop that quickly helped me realize just how imperative and beneficial strategic marketing plans are.”
