Business Grants: Internet Marketing Training

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Government Grants - Business Grants

Would you like a business grant that you can use towards a private training/coaching session with me to develop your Internet marketing skills?

Small business owners/managers are eligible for a grant of up to £1000 towards the cost of business training and development designed to develop their strategic skills to drive their company forward.

Take advantage of this grant funding from Business Link whilst it’s available, and as always the case, when the money is gone, the money is gone!

I’m able to develop a training programme designed for your specific needs, meaning we can skip over the bits you know already, and focus on what you really need to know to make your business more competitive on the Internet:

  • Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) campaigns
  • Social Media Marketing campaigns:  Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogging
  • Web design reviews
  • Google AdWords pay per click (PPC) advertising
  • Google Analytics and web metrics
  • Improving Conversions
  • E Commerce
  • Email marketing
  • International Web Marketing

One grant is available per organisation of up to a maximum of £1,000.  The first £500 is 100% grant funded, with an additional £500 available for you to match at 50%, for a total grant value of £1000.

Both business, public sector and charitable organisations with between 5 to 249 employees are eligible to apply. Organisations who accessed previous Leadership and Management funding initiatives from the LSC are not eligible. Funding is made available for the development of a senior manager or key decision maker.

Our training and consultancy services are a approved by Business Link in both the East Midlands and West Midland, and our training courses rated amongst the top three in the country.

Grants for Businesses – Internet marketing training grants

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Government grants are available for East Midlands businesses looking to develop their strategic Internet marketing skills.

The £500 training and development grant is available from the Learning and Skills Council’s “Leaders  First” programme. This is an outright grant, and your business does not need to make a financial contribution.

That means you can have individual coaching with me for free, or you can attend my training courses for free.

An additional £500 grant is available if you are available to match the money, making a total grant of £1000.  That means you can have £1500 of management coaching, bespoke training, or public training courses at a cost of just £500.

We are working with an number of clients who are using the grant to use our training and consultancy to create a competitive edge with their Internet marketing activities. You might want to improve your Internet skills, develop a more effective Internet strategy, or use the training to keep pace with the rapid changes in online marketing.

The projects we have worked on include:

  • developing a strategic Internet marketing plan
  • planning a strategic search engine optimisation campaign
  • designing and delivering surveys on the Internet
  • improving Pay Per Click campaigns by developing in-house skills

Who Can Apply?

Businesses with between 5 and 249 employees are eligible to apply for the grant funding. Funding is available for the development of senior managers or key decision makers.  One grant is available per organisation, up to a maximum of £1000 grant.  You will need to undertake a skills diagnostic and develop a Personal Development Plan (PDP).  If your plan includes Internet Marketing skills, then the grant can help you along your way.

Get in touch if you would like to discuss your requirements, and I can provide details of next steps.
