If businesses want to know more about this, as well as to expand their digital knowledge and cut through the jargon, News Shopper is running a limited series of free digital marketing advice seminars next week.

Digital specialists will be on hand should you want to speak on a 1-2-1 basis, but this is not a sales environment – we are simply delivering free advice and information.

Every business that attends is entitled to receive a free digital health check around their businesses, to shine more light on specific areas of interest.

The seminars are being held at the Marriott Hotel, Bexleyheath on Wednesday, June 13 and The Warren, Metropolitan Police Hayes Sports Club, near Bromley on Thursday, June 14 – sessions are held at 10.30am and 2pm on each day, lasting roughly 90 minutes, including time for tea/coffee.
