Free advice on online marketing for small and medium-sized businesses
In business life, online competence is the be-all and end-all these days. This is especially true for local retailers and for small and medium-sized enterprises or start-ups. Because while sales in online retail are steadily increasing, stationary retail is recording declining sales figures. This doesn't have to be the case, says the city's economic development agency. It offers Rastatt retailers and companies support in developing online offerings.
Online specialists commissioned by the city will advise interested Rastatt businesses on all aspects of online marketing, e-commerce and social media. The approximately two-hour consultation is free of charge for the businesses. Whether it's about developing a website with online offers, an online store or a convincing Facebook or Instagram presence: the experts provide support from analysis to concrete recommendations for a successful online strategy.
The concrete consultation takes over on behalf of the promotion of economy specialists of the Rastatter advertising agencies pasioDesign and Visus Media. Interested retailers and medium-sized businesses can call 07222 972-1210 or send an e-mail to wirtschaftsfoerderung@rastatt.de to register for a consultation.
