Speaking about the programme, the Chair of the Council, Councillor Siobhán Currie said, “the Digital Support Programme is one of the Council’s extensive suite of free Business Support programmes which deliver mentoring and support to small businesses across the district. During this unprecedented and challenging time, I believe that this support for our small businesses which are so important to the employment and economic life of the district is more important than ever.”

The Digital Support Programme which targets both traditional businesses and businesses within the digital sector, offers one to one mentoring support to help businesses to develop and enhance their digital skills in areas such as social media, email marketing and e-commerce to improve performance.

The free programme provides one to one support across the following areas:

  • Updating marketing collateral
  • Developing a Google Ad / Facebook Ad strategy
  • Building your profile and audience on social media (Youtube, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok)
  • Devising a marketing strategy for post COVID-19

To be eligible to take part in the programme, businesses must be based in the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council area, be operating for at least 12 months and demonstrate real potential for job creation through new digital channels.
