Most businesses get a lot of support when they start out, but what happens once the training wheels come off? Without a clear strategy, it’s all too easy to spend big money on marketing campaigns that don’t return value.

This interactive workshop, part of Torbay Council’s Stay Up programme, is designed for businesses beyond the start-up stage who want to stay up, scale, and thrive. Across three hours, you’ll learn:

• - How to choose marketing activities that drive real results (not just spend).
• - How to understand your customer journey and measure ROI at every stage.
• - Practical frameworks (like the marketing funnel and 7Ps) to guide smarter decisions.
• - Ways to retain customers, build loyalty, and avoid common “growth traps.”

With space for just 20–30 businesses, the session will be hands-on, jargon-free, and focused on helping you cut through the noise.
