WEYBURN — Community Futures Sunrise announced Monday that their successful program GO Digital SASK is now available to businesses and organizations throughout the province.
Originally launched in June 2021 in the CF Sunrise region of southeast SK, the program assisted over 400 organizations until funding ended March 31, 2023. The team of digital consultants provided logo design, website and e-commerce development, social media design, marketing and branding, google profile setup and more. The program also included a training component to teach participants how to manage and use their improved digital presence to increase sales and expand their reach.
“In today’s world it is critical that organizations who provide goods and services for sale have a solid and professional online presence that potential customers are attracted to, view as trustworthy, and find easy to navigate. Entering the digital world is no longer optional for those businesses who want to not only grow and expand, but also to remain relevant to their local customers,” shared CF Sunrise general manager Andria Brady.
“We were already in this era when the pandemic moved it to the forefront. We now have a new way of doing business that allows an entrepreneurial crafter in their home in rural Saskatchewan to sell their handmade products across the globe. But knowing where to start and how to do it can be daunting.”
This is where the services of GO Digital SASK come in. They provide customized support in building what is needed, as well as teaching the fundamentals so the business owner better understands how to use their new digital tools.
With the support of the Rural Opportunities Fund, GO Digital SASK is available to homebased or storefront businesses, organizations and non-profit groups located within the 13 Community Futures regions across the province of Saskatchewan and will be available until November 2024.
