BC Wood’s Wood First Program for 2020-21

BC Wood just received funding approval for the 2020-21 Wood First Program. Beginning April 1st, 2020, we will be coordinating and delivering an exciting line up of activities to assist you in your marketing and business development!

We will be delivering a number of virtual workshops throughout the year on Business Development and Marketing topics. Please contact Rumin at [email protected] if you have a request for a particular topic.

A marketing expert will review and evaluate your company’s marketing activities and strategy. You will then receive a comprehensive summary report that identifies each marketing activity/strategy, recommended changes or improvements, and new marketing activities/strategies that should be considered. Alongside the report, you will receive recommendations on how to accelerate your marketing strategy, as well as how to strengthen and improve your overall brand and messaging to further set you apart from competitors and achieve your desired business goals. Funding covers 75% of cost. Average value for a marketing assessment is $3000; so your cost would only be about $750.

Company specific projects use the information gained from assessments to help improve competitiveness, address gaps, and strengthen your company’s supply chain. With this help, you will learn how to efficiently manage your business and market your product in a more professional and effective manner, ultimately growing your company. Examples of eligible projects include: leadership, management training, sales coaching, creating a social media strategy, effectively managing teams virtually, video production training, etc. Funding covers 40% of the project total cost.

These are only a few of the many activities we have lined up for the upcoming year. To find out how BC Wood can assist you with your marketing and business development, contact Rumin at [email protected] or 604-882-7100.
