Talking with business owners on the exhibition floor

Small Business BIG Marketing at the Melbourne Convention Centre brought together business owners, marketers and digital suppliers. For Reach Digital, the value was direct conversation: how small businesses were thinking about website content, social media and online communication.

The event sat inside the wider Victorian small business program, making it a natural fit for practical conversations about websites, content and marketing decisions.

Social media as part of a wider website strategy

Reach Digital used Twitter activity during the event to keep conversations moving between the exhibition floor and online channels. The useful lesson is still current: social media should create a path back to a real conversation, a useful page or a clear next step.
