A website. If you are a small business a website seems like a huge expense. That is a fallacy. An inexpensive or free site can be set up with Weebly or Wordpress. Check out our new Samuel McLeod Business Awards website that was set up very easily with Weebly. Your website is where your customers can go for more detailed information about your products or services. Studies indicate that many consumers do their research online before they ever step through the door of your business. If they can’t find the information online they will shop somewhere else.

Mailchimp is a free and easy program that you can use to keep in contact with your clients. Because of the recent Canadian laws concerning email marketing you must have your clients permission before you can add them to an email marketing list. What a great way to find out evaluations of your product or service, have your customers answer a survey, notify of upcoming events or promotions. Email marketing is only effective if it is not overused. Do not send random messages, pick a day or date and stick with it.

The Chamber has worked with community partners to pursue the creation of a Prince Albert Industry Education Council, supported the Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Program, sponsored SIAST Scholarships and given students the opportunity to attend chamber events to learn about the business sector and environment. In summary, we have engaged in various education initiatives to assist in building the workforce and business leaders of tomorrow.
