CENTER, NEBRASKA – Small business owners are invited to learn about online marketing tools during a free workshop on Tuesday, July 24, in Center, organized by the Center for Rural Affairs in collaboration with Knox County Economic Development.

Two sessions of “Online Marketing Strategies,” are scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. and from 5 to 8 p.m., at the Knox County Courthouse basement conference room (use courthouse south entrance), 206 Main St., in Center.

The session focuses on building online relationships using websites, email marketing, and social media, including Facebook and Twitter.

“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 Kim Preston, Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center interim director. “Eighty-one percent of shoppers conduct online searches before buying. This session will help potential clients see only the best of your business in those searches.”

Refreshments will be provided.

Pre-registration is required.
