Learn from the Professionals

We are keen to raise the profile and recognition of the professionalism of CIM members by sharing knowledge and expertise with the small business community throughout Kent.  Using professional marketers and aimed at small and medium businesses, the ‘Simply Better Marketing’ programme will help people to make the most of marketing resources to grow their business.

A database of Kent-based Chartered Marketer professionals has been set up to deliver the programme.  The volunteers have experience across all sorts of industries and size of business with a number of them running their own companies, so they will be able to relate to the issues that small businesses face.  They will be available to deliver training across all aspects of marketing, from strategy and planning, market and product development, through to promotion and selling.

Organisations needing speakers to deliver marketing education programmes in Kent are invited to contact us by email at sharon@cimkent.co.uk to discuss how we can help. If you are a company with its own in-house marketing team, or a management board who are keen to develop a deeper understanding of marketing, we can also discuss visiting your premises to give practical tutorials.

Following on from previous highly successful ‘Simple Better Marketing’ programmes which were launched through a series of business breakfasts, the 2011 initiative will continue to offer practical marketing help and advice.  Jointly organised in partnership with Best Business Events, these workshops will be take place at their offices in Maidstone. 

By attending you will learn about the simple things businesses can do for themselves to improve their marketing and also benefit from expert guidance into the basic principles of marketing.

To register your interest in attending please email contact details to Sharon Wilding or visit the Best Business Events website.
