Kootenay Business’ growing with communications technology
Tuesday, Nov. 29
Communications technology, or “Telecomm,” has provided Kootenay based businesses with better, faster and more efficient methods of running their business successfully.
With technology changing by the second, keeping up with the latest and greatest has become a full time job for a large staff all on its own.
You simply don’t have the time to search, analyze, test and invest in all technologies so we’ve done the hard work for you.
Several innovative Kootenay companies have been taking advantage of the tips, tricks and tools available with great results, proving you don’t need an IT department and that EVERY business can gain from Telecomm advances.
On Nov. 29, an interactive panel of local businesses will explain how they’ve used communications technology to grow their business, and how you can take advantage of their knowledge.
Model Express of Castlegar conduct 100% of their sales online and have just topped $3 million since their launch. Endless Harvest of Ymir have taken fruits and veggies high tech running their ordering and sales online.
Adventure Engine, based in Rossland run sales, demos and client training using online meetings, Skype, and their own online platform. Cartolina has successfully merged a brick and mortar storefront with online sales, apps and QR codes to take their card business global.
Industry players Telus and Rackforce will speak to the opportunities they offer to local businesses. The Columbia Basin trust will also provide an update on their new Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation project.
Call it a life-preserver in the rising tide of communications, or simply call it a four hour express course on what Telecomm is, what’s new and how it can make you more money right now.
Come learn from industry professionals and business folk just like you on how they’ve got Telecomm working.
