…. then its good enough for us.

President Elect Obama has stated that the Internet will be a key technology during his presidency. His technology policy states:-

  • Barack Obama will protect the openness of the internet:

    Obama and Biden strongly support the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet.

  • Deploy a modern communications infrastructure:

    Obama and Biden believe we can get true broadband to every community in America.

  • Improve America’s competitiveness:

    Obama and Biden will ensure our goods and services are treated fairly in foreign markets, invest in the sciences, and will provide new research grants to the most outstanding early-career researchers in the country.

Obama, used the Internet to great advantage during his presidential campaign and has stated that he see’s the Internet as a competitive advantage for the US. If its a competitive advantage for a whole nation – whats it for you?

Are you really online?

Are you really taking advantage of marketing to over 1bn people online?

Are you really engaging in the social networking aspect of the Internet or just reading emails and booking holidays?

If you want to find out more on how to use this enabling technology – call us.

In 2009 we will be introducing a number of FREE roadshows in our Gloucester, Sheffield & Dublin offices. We believe in putting something back into the community.

These will be 4 hour sessions where we will share our knowledge and expertise in Internet related technologies to all attendees for FREE. Its also a great opportunity to meet other business owners in the same position and swap “war stories” etc..

We will have basic and advanced sessions available – so simply turn up at the event that you like the sound of the most.

We will cover the following in the basic workshops:-

  • What “exactly” is the Internet and how can it help me grow my business.
  • What are the trends over the next 2-3 years
  • How can I make sure my website is “visible” in the search engines and drive traffic to my site
  • How can I market to my customer base quickly, easily and cheaply
  • How to save money on fuel, parts & financing your business

In the advanced workshops we will focus on:-

  • How to use Google Analytics to measure my website traffic and return on investment
  • How to use RSS effectively
  • How to save £££££’s on marketing your services nationally and internationally
  • How to take on more work without having to increase your costs

Remember, these are FREE and are NOT TravelManager related – they are generic workshops to help operators (who are typically not technically advanced) to get to the next step.

If your interested in attending one of these workshops – drop me a line on info@gotravelmanager.com
