UPCOMING EVENTS

The Kingston Economic Development Corporation is proud to partner with other organizations in our community to offer events, workshops and networking opportunities.   

In this workshop, we will continue the discussion around online marketing and social media for small businesses. Attendees will be given specific strategies for moving their social networks forward, gaining followers, collecting email addresses, and generally how to make online platforms work for them. This is a follow-up workshop to our Online Marketing 101 course, and while it is not necessary for you to have attended it, it is recommended. A laptop is required for this session and a mobile device (iOS or Android) is also recommended.
