Attendees also heard further details about Trading Online Vouchers helping businesses gear up for online success; and some benefits and challenges explained by the local designer Edel MacBride, including setting up a business online and using local initiatives such as the Buy Donegal campaign and Donegal Local Enterprise Office's supports to her advantage.
Participants were asked for their current online status and the challenges to getting or growing online, so that future workshops can address their real needs. Save the dates -19th January and 16th February!
