Discover How the Digital Economy Program can help transform your business!

We know that this time of year is crunch time for your small business. Your priority has to be working in your business, not on your business. But did you know that our friends at Business Link and Digital Main Street offer free programs that can help you improve your online business in as little as one hour?

It takes five minutes to sign up. Upon approval, you can book a meeting with a digital economy or e-commerce expert who will give you real help you can apply immediately. We’re talking things like improving your Instagram, fine-tuning your Facebook, or syncing up your Shopify.

Oh, and P.S.: The CDAP program comes with a microgrant of $2400 for eligible businesses to use toward e-commerce.

It’s not too good to be true: it’s funded by the Government of Alberta and the Government of Canada.
