SBDCTAP Technology Boot Camp Program

Transformative Technology for Your Small Business

The SBDC Business Technology Boot Camp Program consists of full-day or half-day training events where you will learn how to use information technology not just to improve your business, but to transform it.

This unique, internationally renown Program is probably the fastest and easiest way for non-technology small business owners to come up to speed about technologies that matter for their business.

Whether you’re in need of email, surveys or postcards, we provide a wizard-based system for you to create in minutes. Upload images, highlight links, type your copy and you’re ready to launch.
You can also choose from industry-themed templates so you’re not left looking at a blank screen not knowing where to begin. We’ve got retail, real estate, restaurants, music, family, holidays, seasonal, business and more!
Reports are real-time so you can tell who opened your email, who clicked on a link and even which one. A bit advanced? We hook our reporting right into your Google Analytics for you to dive deeper down.

Our email marketing service and direct mail service are based on pay-as-you go pricing so if you don’t use it in a given month you don’t pay. Our pricing is about a penny or so per email. Our survey tool is based on low cost monthly pricing dependent on the number of responses you get to your survey.

We’re with you! We pick up the phones, we answer emails fast, and we have live chats with our support representatives right here in our offices. We also provide video tutorials all throughout our service so at any given point you can stop what you’re doing and watch the movie on how to do it.
