State Offers Local Businesses Free Advice
"Our goal is to give companies the resources to be successful in today's economy. Where else can you get guidance from a team of consultants that might cost thousands of dollars if you were to engage them yourself," said Mollis.
Specialized consultants, who understand the modern economic climate and the power of the digital age, will cover topics ranging from basic business techniques that will cut costs and increase profits to more in depth internet marketing strategies. The workshops will offer tactics on how to reduce business taxes, appropriately price a product or service, maximize search engine visibility, utilize low-cost Internet promotional tools and more.
