In making the announcement, Rural Development Minister Len Derkach said the seminars, which were launched during last year's Small Business Week, are being delivered because of feedback from small business owners and entrepreneurs throughout the province.
Marketing is a component critical to the overall success of a business.
We have so many inventive and valuable products and services being developed in rural Manitoba, but if they aren't well marketed, no one will know they're available. We're also very pleased to welcome the MCNA as a co-sponsor of the event this year. Shelley Ross, president of the Manitoba Community Newspapers Association, said the partnership is a natural one. There is much that local community newspapers can offer rural Manitoba businesses in the way of marketing assistance. We're happy to be part of this Small Business Week activity and encourage the growth and development of rural business.
