Kitimat Local Impact & Local Marketing Workshop

Local businesses are the heart and soul of our communities. They also have big economic impacts, by creating jobs, circulating profits, buying local products/services and supporting local causes.

But what is a local business anyway? How do we define it and why does it matter? In an increasingly competitive market, consumers and businesses understand the value of supporting businesses that provide benefits to their communities. 

Join us to discuss how the new "Keep It Local Kitimat" campaign can support your business, and how you can engage in the campaign. This new campaign will replace all the other buy local campaigns before it - Love Kitimat, Kitimat Now, Focus Local, etc. Join us and learn how your business can engage in this exciting new 5-year campaign. All businesses are welcome, whether yours is home-based, brick-and-mortar, service-based, or a franchise! Come and learn how the new campaign can benefit your business.  

The workshop will include:  

• The impact of local businesses - what it is, why it matters, how to leverage it in your marketing
• Overview of the campaign and how your business can engage
• Digital marketing and e-commerce advice for businesses from a leading expert (remotely via Zoom for this portion only)
• Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) grants for online support (remotely via Zoom for this portion only)

Please register in advance. All participants will be entered into a door prize draw for $500 worth of buy local and digital marketing services from  LOCO BC & Crisp. 

This event, and participation in the campaign, is free of charge. Refreshments at the event will be provided.
