This course is very exciting and is new for 2010, it will be available in the second half of the year. It is important to consider your advertising campaign, and write business plans, develop a pricing strategy and communications plan, but equally important is to know your customer. Without a clear view and understanding of what your customers, want, need and expect from you, how will you be sure that your advertising campaign will reach out to them, and more importantly, will you be sure that your website is telling them what they need to know? This is a half day course, and will be available on the same day as Marketing and PR for the wedding industry.
