What makes the DIY Marketing Toolbox Workshops unique?

Our Principal, Ingrid Rothe created the DIY Workshop program in frustration at the plethora of training courses that were either delivered impersonally online, were face-to-face talkfests, so generic they offered little real value to attendees, demonstrated little, if any, understanding of regionally-based small business, and were clearly designed to upsell you to using the services of the presenter.

The DIY Marketing Workshops are hands-on workshops, where you learn by doing. To ensure each attendee’s individual objectives are met, every workshop registration includes:

• A 30-minute one-on-one telephone or online meeting to identify your business needs and objectives, and to ensure you make the most out of your workshop experience
• A 3-hour hands-on workshop, where you can create unique content or collateral for your business
• Electronic resources to guide you as you implement what you learn
• A 30 minute one-on-one follow up telephone or online meeting to check on your progress and answer any questions you may have

Designed and led by an award-winning professional marketer, with extensive experience in large multi-national organisations at senior levels. Vivid Thinking has successfully scaled down and made accessible large corporate methodologies and tailored them to meet small business needs.

Workshop Options:

• One-on-one private workshops
• Small group in house workshops tailored to the unique needs of your business
