Happening today: Supercharge Your Business Growth with Chekkit
The one thing every business needs is GROWTH. The moment you stop growing, you start dying.
At Herconomy, we're constantly thinking about how we can help the SMEs within our network to keep growing year on year.
This is why we have partnered with Chekkit Technologies to organize an interactive and practical Goal Smashing Strategy session for small to medium-scale producers/manufacturers of food, beverage, cosmetics, fashion/accessories, medicines, and other physical products.
This event will have 2 sessions; one for reviewing the challenges and wins from 2021 while the other will focus on creating smart goals for 2022 and strategizing how to smash them. There will also be a networking session for you to interact with other business owners like you.
Chekkit is sponsoring 50 businesses that fall into the criteria above so spaces are limited and I advise you to register immediately.
That's not all; the 50 businesses will also be gifted 3 months FREE access to:
1. Chekkit's database of over 5 million Nigeria consumers for you to market your products directly to
2. Chekkit's marketing automation and consumer engagement software to help you scale up your marketing efforts and grow faster
3. A chance to be featured in a promotional video telling the story of your brand and your proposition to consumers
