We all recognise the power of digital to help our business. We read about success stories all the time. It seems like we have to friend everyone in the morning, instagram our lunch, and 'do SEO' in the afternoon.
Maybe.
There’s no denying that digital has the power to transform a business. Yet it also has the power to do more harm than good.
This is when firms like ours lose sight of what really matters – our customers – and instead see ‘being online’ as an end in itself.
It isn’t.
We call it the 'digital tail wagging the business dog'.
That’s why we’ve launched an introductory digital course that tells you what to do… but also what not to do online.

To be clear: it’s not a technical, 'hands on keyboard' course – there are plenty of those around already and, frankly, you should be spending time on your business not on coding – but instead looks at what you should be spending time, money, and effort on.
The course is run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. So it's all about how digital can help our company grow in line with its business plan.
Normally worth thousands of pounds, the course is fully funded by HM Government through the Community Renewal Fund. That means you’ve already paid for the programme. So now it's time to use it!
And you can bring along as many people as you like!

Here's how it works.
You pick whether to learn 'on demand' in your own time or by attending workshops where you get to chat with other businesses just like yours.
If you choose the workshops, then you decide if it's easier for you to set aside a couple of hours each week, for five weeks, to join a Zoom call or to come along for a day to meet everyone face-to-face.
There's a variety of dates for the Zoom calls. And we're in Norwich on 23rd April or 13th May, King's Lynn on 7th/8th May, and Great Yarmouth on 19th/20th May.
The choice of how to take part is entirely yours.
Either way, you get a whole bunch of material to help you: videos to watch, podcasts to listen to, quizzes to try, checklists to tick off, and workbooks to fill out. You’ll learn about marketing, websites, social media, CRM, cloud apps, and a whole lot more.
Better yet, you also get a comprehensive digital audit worth over £100 just by signing up. It's packed with recommendations to help improve your website.

So there's nothing to lose and lots to gain. Just remember that the programme finishes in May and there are limited spaces, so you need to sign up now.
If you're convinced, reserve your place by completing the form.
If you've still got questions, then hit the 'support' button at the bottom right of this page (it looks like a question mark on mobile) and just ask. We'd love to hear from you.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Designed especially for SMEs, the programme shows how digital can support place-based business in the post-COVID economy. It's designed to encourage you to adopt a more strategic, long-term approach to digital to grow your business in the longer term.
Note that the course is introductory.
A compelling range of support is on offer:
There are three ways:
You attend a two hour session each week on Zoom with around a dozen other delegates. This lasts for five weeks. You are asked to participate, with your camera on, but no preparation or prior knowledge is required (we promise!)
You attend five sessions over a single day. As above, you're asked to discuss the topics with around a dozen other delegates.
That's absolutely fine: you can choose not to attend but still get access to the same great resources described above for you to look at in your own time.
Places are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualifying businesses – so it’s essential that you apply now. It’s fully funded (so you don't pay a thing) and takes less than a minute; just fill out the form. If you're still undecided, you can find out more about the programme below or ask us questions by clicking the support link. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Any business in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, or King's Lynn. Delegates must be 18 years or older. You are welcome to send more than one member of the team.
You've already paid for the programme. It is provided by a partnership between Norwich BID, King's Lynn BID, and Great Yarmouth Town Centre Partnership and funded by HM Government's Community Renewal Fund.
No, but we hope you listen to or watch the material as it will help you get the most out of the course.
Yes. You will be expected to work with other delegates. Unless there is a good reason (and we realise there might be) you will be asked to turn on your camera during any Zoom call.
We cover five topics:
