State Offers Local Businesses Free Advice

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

 

Today's economic climate has been challenging for small businesses in Rhode Island and in an effort to help these local businesses, Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis and the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) are sponsoring four free workshops this month to offer advice on how to make businesses work better.

"Our goal is to give companies the resources to be successful in today's economy. Where else can you get guidance from a team of consultants that might cost thousands of dollars if you were to engage them yourself," said Mollis.

Specialized consultants, who understand the modern economic climate and the power of the digital age, will cover topics ranging from basic business techniques that will cut costs and increase profits to more in depth internet marketing strategies. The workshops will offer tactics on how to reduce business taxes, appropriately price a product or service, maximize search engine visibility, utilize low-cost Internet promotional tools and more.

Workshop Schedule

Gil Lantini of Focus Business Solutions will present "Internet Marketing 101RIEDC, 315 Iron Horse Way, Suite 101, Providence, Wednesday, Nov 17, 9 am - 11 am.
