Marketing Basics (MKT01)
Description
Marketing is about getting your business known and building your position within the marketplace. It is an essential element for every business. No matter what the product or service is, the business will benefit with a better understanding of marketing. Small businesses don`t always have a big budget for marketing, so they have to do things a little differently than big business in order to grow their presence, increase results, and meet business goals. But a small marketing budget doesn’t mean you can’t meet your goals and business objectives. You just have to be more creative in your marketing tactics!
This course will introduce you to the various types of marketing and how to choose the right methods for success. You will also learn how to develop your marketing message, create a marketing plan, apply the right strategies to improve sales, develop your company’s image, and build your bottom line.
