Bytes with Bugsy helping local businesses

MARQUETTE — The Innovate Marquette Smart Zone helps sets up education series located at Ampersand.

This month they did Bytes with Bugsy. This is an opportunity for small business owners and other marketing professionals.

They come and learn from an industry expert on how they can promote their business and get the word out there on the digital area.

“Digital marketing or online marketing is hugely important. It’s more inexpensive than some of the traditional marketing outlets. Traditional marketing is great and it really helps your business. If you’re looking for an inexpensive way to start online marketing, it can be a great place to be,” said Rachel Barra, Program Manager for Innovate Marquette Smart Zone.

During the first half class, Bugsy gives a presentation and during the second half its open to Q AND A’S on any digital marketing topic anyone might have.

They have had a lot of good feedback so far and they are looking to host the event again this winter.
