                           Yorkshire Team Objectives

     the UK economy?

                                    Yorkshire Team Objectives



Why have SME Ambassadors?
 Owners, directors and managers of SMEs often have
  limited marketing expertise in-house
 Owners, directors and managers of SMEs have limited
  resource and time - Need accessible marketing!
 SMEs view marketing as for the large organisation with
  a dedicated team
 Many SMEs are not aware of the CIM
 The choice of business support for SMEs is often
  complex and therefore not always used

              Primary audience
 Is the Small business
    As we believe this sector has the greatest potential for growth,
     but usually lacks sufficient in-house professional marketing
     expertise
 Secondary audience:
    Is the medium or established business
        As they usually have some in-house marketing expertise
 Tertiary audience:
    Is the micro business
        As they have access to free or heavily subsidised support, and usually
         have insufficient resource (financial and/or human) to conduct a
         professional marketing strategy
