It’s All Happening In The Online Space between Digital Marketing, Digital War and Even Digital Grants
Whether you like it or not so much of what we do now is online. Having an online presence and a basic understanding of the digital space has become the norm for business. How are you showing up? Do you have a consistent message? Are you recognisable or even easily found online?
While I often talk about the Digital war between Google, Facebook, Microsoft (LinkedIn) & Amazon, even the QLD Government is realising how important it is to have an online presence. So much so, that Round 5 of the Small Business Digital Grants Program is now open and will close on 8 October 2018.
This particular Small Business Digital Grants Program provides small businesses with access to digital technologies and services to help you to work smarter, engage with the global economy, and make the most of online business opportunities arising from digital disruption.
Matched funding of up to $10 000 (excluding GST) can be provided to eligible businesses for the purchase of hardware, software and services – such as digital coaching. The minimum grant funding amount is $1 000. I can help you with your application to show how the digital technology or service purchased and adopted will enhance the digital capabilities of your business, help you to be more competitive and employ more staff.
The digital technology or service must fall under one of four identified priority areas:
- content development i.e: web pages, mobile apps, visual and audio media etc. (Click here if you would like to chat about a web quote or even a video series for your site or social media)
- receiving payments or selling online (Click here if you would like to chat about sales funnel automation)
- specialised digital technology or software (business specific)
- digital planning, digital marketing strategy development, and digital training (Click here if you would like to chat about the Digital Success Academy, or a Marketing Strategy for your business)
For more information, you can visit the official page here. Please click here if you’d like more information on the the application or even quote from me for web development, video marketing or digital coaching.
While the focus of everything we do is now online, there is STILL a need to make authentic and emotional connections with your customers, that is the CRUCIAL element.
To learn more about creating connections, there are only four Digital Success Intensive Workshops for the rest of the year, so make sure you check out the upcoming ones and lock down dates here: https://www.stickytickets.com.au/marketingleap/events
The next Workshop is “Branding & Messaging”, to help you get a crystal clear message that entices your ideal client to WANT to work with you and your business. As always my focus is on the best marketing activities for YOUR business & YOUR Clients, so I would love it if you could join me or recommend others who would benefit 😃
Be warned though – This is NOT a Workshop UPSELL! This is a solid 4 hours working ON your Business Branding Strategy & Messaging!
