Local small businesses were given expert digital advice by web, social media and digital strategy experts today when Do It Digital – the not-for-profit campaign that aims to help small, independent businesses around the UK make the most of the advantages of being online – brought its nationwide digital roadshow to Birmingham.

Experts, including David Glenwright, Head of Training at JC Social Media in New Street and representatives from website specialists MBJ and web.com, were on board the Do It Digital bus at the Innovation Birmingham Campus to offer free advice to small business owners including Hilary Connor of Cora Hair salon in Birmingham city centre. 

“I wanted help in driving traffic to our website, and in picking up any social media tips on how to interact with potential clients,” explained Hilary.

“I was given some great practical advice and shown some simple immediate improvements that we can make to the website including adding a favicon tab and getting a booking appointment displayed on every page as well as some specifics about using video apps, algorithm apps and focusing on keywords. The first thing I am going to do is to share what I have learnt with the team back at the salon.”

Do It Digital Director, Michelle Ovens says: “The Do It Digital campaign is not only about helping the digitally un-engaged take their first steps online but also helping those already online to expand their digital horizons. This could mean anything from a first, simple web presence to taking the first steps towards selling online.” 

“Digital engagement is crucial for all aspects of business, from marketing and recruitment to banking and accounting, and is only likely to become more so. Digital engagement will become increasingly central to the development of competitive, profitable and growing businesses.”
