The e-Marketing Workshop last Friday, supported by the Uganda Hotel Owners’ Association and attended by a full capacity 50 participants, has, according to one attendee, “hit the nail on the head” by offering relevant content and improving knowledge on the use of the new media when advertising one’s products and services.
Areas covered during the workshop included hands-on training on free and paid-for digital marketing tools, digital content (photos and written content), websites or booking functionalities, social media for accommodation, and channel management tools for all participating SMEs [Small- and Medium-sizes Enterprises].
Ugandans still waiting for Covid-19 stimulus package
Monday March 01 2021
KAMPALA- Businesses that were supposed to benefit from the government stimulus package from the Uganda Development Bank have not received any money.
In June 2020, government announced that small and medium size enterprises in agro processing, manufacturing and tourism sectors would receive about Shs1 trillion to support them during the lockdown.
The money was supposed to be channelled to eligible beneficiaries through the Uganda Development Bank (UDB).
However, many businesses have never received the money.
In January, UDB said it had disbursed up to Shs242b to vital sectors of the economy in 2020.
