Are you an independent high street trader in Horsham District? Join a free session to help you reach more customers through Instagram.
We're especially keen to hear from businesses in Billingshurst, Pulborough, Storrington, Steyning or Henfield.
As part of the Welcome Back government funding, Horsham District Council has commissioned a team of professional trainers to run a series of free workshops that will help independent high street traders harness the opportunities to reach and engage customers through Instagram.
Come and join local businesses for an interactive session: an opportunity to share ideas and experiences on how to make the most of your social media presence to the benefit of your business and your town. The trainers will share top tips on how to improve your business's Instagrammability.
Each business will receive a short review of the current engagement performance of their Instagram account carried out by the trainers before the workshop.
