North Adams Chamber Fall Workshop Series to Support Small Businesses
 |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. —The North Adams Chamber (NAC) will host a series of fall workshops to assist small businesses in the Northern Berkshires.
The Northern Berkshire business community is invited to a Holiday Promotion networking event on Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. at Greylock Works. Business owners, artists and entrepreneurs are encouraged to come together to brainstorm the best ways to promote products and services ahead of the holiday season.
Refreshments and snacks provided by Door Prize.
In November the NAC will start a technology makeover series that will dive into online commerce, effective software options and digital marketing. Each class costs $15 to attend, or at a discounted rate of $30 for all three. Sessions run from 6-8 p.m. and will be held in the NAC office at 85 Main Street in suite 200A.
The tech makeover series schedule:
- November 7: Get Organized; Digital Management Tools for Workflow Efficiency
- November 14: Get Found; Digital Marketing Basics to Get Your Business Found
- November 21: Get Social; Social Media Marketing Strategies and Content Planning
According to a press release, this workshop series is the result of two years of recognizing the technology needs of local businesses through the Chamber’s Business Assistance program. In 2019 the organization received grant funding through the Franklin County CDC to launch this one-on-one consulting program and has since helped the business community grow and maintain jobs, get access to legal and financial help, and grow their social media presence.
After an event the NAC hosted in June – Reimagine the Chamber – two dozen business owners expressed their everyday challenges. Many of those challenges were related to implementing technology to run their businesses more efficiently and how to use digital marketing tools more effectively.
All businesses throughout Northern Berkshire County interested in improving their digital marketing or learning how to make their business more efficient using the latest tech tools are encouraged to attend one or all of the workshops in our Tech Makeover series this November.
