Do you work in tourism in Uganda?
If so, then I bet you have been asking yourself these questions:
- Facebook. Why do I need a Facebook Business page? How do I create one?
- TripAdvisor. Should I be on there? How do I answer negative reviews?
- Email marketing. Is it still useful?
- SEO or Search Engine Optimisation. What is it? Why do I need it? How do I do it?
- Social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok … Which one is best for my business?
- Blogging. Should I create a blog? How can I work with bloggers?
- YouTube and video marketing. Does this cost a lot of money? Is phone quality video good enough?
- WhatsApp. Should you upgrade to a business account?
- The Travel Directory on Diary of a Muzungu. How can a listing in the Travel Directory help improve my visibility online?
At my Introduction to Digital Marketing Training Workshops, we discuss all this and more.
During the training workshops I share tips based on my 15 years blogging and my professional training as a Chartered Institute of Marketing Manager. It’s important to understand which tactics are best for your type of business. We explore a variety of digital marketing tools, and practice writing social media updates together.
How can we work together to promote tourism in Uganda and East Africa?
The marketing training workshops are also a chance to find out how we can work together.
Businesses who sign up to the Travel Directory get preferential access to additional marketing services such as copywriting, boosted Facebook posts, mentions in articles, and more. Learn how Advertising works.
What format is the training?
To make the training accessible, we organise group workshops of 10 to 25 people at different locations around Uganda. Pricing varies according to the number of participants.
In-house training can also be arranged. This is often better value for money for clients who have many staff and can be customised to your specific needs. Training topics may include: general marketing theory, communications best practice, customer service training, how to write good business English, how to set up a blog or an email newsletter system. Training may be in the form of a talk, group discussions, practical exercises or Zoom sessions, or a combination.
