We thought it would be best to update you with the programs our Click Region team are rolling out. We have a few running concurrently and want to make sure you know about the ones you can participate in or that you’d like to refer to your friends who need the help.

Digital Work Skills Program

Program area: Benalla, Indigo and Wangaratta Shires

With support of the Foundation for Rural, Regional Renewal, this program is focused on drought resilience and ensuring small businesses and community groups grow their digital knowledge to be able to access digital tools and resources, equipping themselves with the resilence they need for potential challenging times. We have complimentary one-on-one digital business coaching and group digital pop-ups available. If you would like to book or find out more please email Bree at bree@startupshakeup.org

Digital Assistance – Flood Recovery funding

Program areas: Bright, Wodonga, Nathalia and Yarrawonga (some areas have requirements to be eligable)

We have multiple programs with the above Chambers/Business groups thanks to a Business Group Flood Rec overy Grant jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian governments under the Disaster Receovery Funding Arrangements. This allows their members to receive free services from Click Region to help in the digital space. If you are in these areas and would like to know more aobut these programs please email hello@clickregion.org.au and we can give you more information.

Partnering with Moira Shire & Wangaratta Council

We have a few different offerings for our Council Partnerships. If you aren’t already connected to your council, please let us know and we can find the best fit for you!

Click Region ethos

This is self-evident, but just in case you don’t know us well…. we are always looking for ways to help assist you and your business.

Please rest easy knowing that you can ask the Click Region team (Bree and Mel) questions at any point of your digital confidence journey, there are no silly questions! Just because you are a professional in your service or product doesn’t mean you won’t get stuck from time to time, thats totally normal. We are happy to see you grow and find your feet, as we know running your own business or community group can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.

Take care and we hope to see you soon!

Love the Click Region team 🙂

]]> It’s been a while https://clickregion.org.au/its-been-a-while/ Sun, 25 Aug 2024 01:05:21 +0000 http://clickregion.org.au/?p=1263 Hello everyone, it’s been a while. Even though I’ve been a little slack on our news articles, our Click Region team have been busy, busy, busy! Working on new content, assisting with 1-on-1 coaching in different LGA areas, and sending out dedicated EDMs to our online community to help upskill in the digital space.

We have new content coming to you each month. If you haven’t checked out our new release of content for October, make sure you do. Have a look around and explore. There are topics on Canva tips, how to write a position description, info about Mailchimp for email marketing, and more. We have been speaking with key organisations to bring you more content soon.

One topic that is a very important read is the 72-hour program ‘Preparedness for emergency events’ from Alpine and Moira Shire’s. This topic is free to ensure everyone has access to this important document. It goes through the first 72 hours of an emergency event, and what you can do as a business to prepare for future events. There is also a plan template for you to fill out. Make sure you have a read no matter where you are located, it’s very helpful.

Enjoy the spring weather, stay safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Cheers, Bree

Click Region team

PS. can anyone see the smily face reflection in the cup??? Spooky!

]]> A bit about Click region https://clickregion.org.au/a-bit-about-click-region/ Sun, 25 Aug 2024 00:11:38 +0000 http://clickregion.org.au/?p=1485

Technology in business & everyday life is constantly evolving. This makes up-to-date knowledge & skills very important. Negotiating online can be a daunting task. Small businesses in regional areas often feel time poor, overwhelmed with irrelevant information, and look for sources they can trust. That’s how Click Region was born.

Click Region is about helping inspire and educate small businesses to feel confident in the digital space. It is an education platform that helps you navigate and learn online tools and programs. The best bit, it’s information has been tailored in short sharp clips so you can spend more time where you choose. No more hours spent digging through videos and text to find the steps you need.

With Click Region you learn the information that is fundamental to running your business whilst implementing the tools straight away.

It’s cost effective, a weekly subscription equals buying a trusted friend a cuppa. Now you can leave the coffee dates to chat about the important stuff instead of digital talk.

Mel and Bree will be visiting community groups throughout September to introduce you to Click Region. If you have an organisation or group you would like us to connect with to present to, please reach out via hello@clickregion.org.au

Thank you!

  • Start planning your marketing activity for the end of October/start of November. Remind clients and customers you have their back and offer assistance well before the rush
  • What products or services do you want to highlight? Think about stocking fillers and useful services to offer
  • Do you need to order or make products? i.e. do you need decorations for your store or do you sell particular items for the silly season? Make sure you have your stock in time
  • What ‘call to actions’ do you have for your social media clients?
  • Join forces with other small businesses to promote each others products and services
  • Bundle items into a ‘happy holidays’ package
  • Create a digital catalogue to showcase your products or create a gift guide
  • Closer to Christmas, create a cut-off date for last purchases (especially if your business is shipping them out)
