E-business & E-marketing Seminar: what to know before you go
A seminar on e-marketing tips runs 5 to 7 August at Plaza del Puerto, 3. Here's what to know before you register.
What the E-business & E-marketing Seminar covers
The E-business & E-marketing Seminar runs from Wednesday 5 August to Friday 7 August. It's happening at Plaza del Puerto, 3. The organizers describe it as a chance to explore "cool tips and tricks for boosting your biz with e-marketing magic." That's the full description they've put out, so treat it as a hands-on, in-person seminar rather than a big conference.
Who should go
If you're running a business here in Alicante, or thinking about starting one, this could be worth three days of your time. That covers a lot of ground: freelancers doing their own marketing, small shop owners who want more online orders, and anyone managing a side hustle alongside a day job. You don't need to be a marketing pro already. Seminars like this tend to work best for people who are willing to try new things and aren't afraid to ask a basic question in the room.
Why it's worth carving out the time
Running a business as an expat or newcomer in Alicante comes with an extra layer of difficulty. You're often building an audience from scratch, in a market you don't know as well as the locals do, sometimes juggling two languages at once. E-marketing is one of the few areas where you can move fast without a big budget. A social post, a well-timed email, or a small ad can reach real customers in Alicante the same day you send it. That's a different game from print ads or word of mouth, which take longer to build. Learning the current tricks, not the ones from five years ago, is what actually moves the needle.
Getting the most out of it
Whatever you get out of three days like this comes down to how you show up. Bring a notebook or your phone and actually write things down, because you won't remember every tip a week later. Bring a couple of real questions about your own business rather than general ones. It's easy to sit in the back and just listen, but you'll get more out of it if you ask something specific about your shop, your service, or your online store. And if you meet other business owners there, swap contact details. Some of the best leads and collaborations in a city like Alicante come from a five minute chat at an event, not from an ad.
