Attention Business Owners

• Not sure how to utilize business social media accounts to your benefit?
• Want to manage your digital presence in-house?
• Would you like to expand your sales and services through an online presence?
• Optional feature:  Do you need help building or updating your business website?

With the ever-changing landscape of digital media, navigating social media and website management can be daunting and time-consuming, especially for small businesses. Balancing the demands of running a business with establishing a strong digital presence adds another layer of challenge. Recognizing this struggle, the BDC launched the Berwyn Internship for Small Businesses program in Spring 2022.

With an annual investment of $50,000, the BDC partnered with Dominican University to create an improved program to address this business issue. If you are a Berwyn Business looking to expand your business model through an online presence, this internship is for you.

Business Responsibilities:

• Detailed understanding of the changes and updates your website and social channels need.
• Weekly one-hour meetings with the intern.
• Open a line of communication with your intern throughout the entirety of the internship.
• Biweekly meetings with a BDC staff member to discuss the progress of the internship.
• Dedicate 30-60 minutes per week to gathering requested information for your intern, ensuring timely and efficient updates.

By the end of this internship, you will have:

• A digital marketing calendar.
• Training to run your business website, marketing, and social media campaign in-house.
• An optional fully functional WIX website, with $325 applied to your WIX subscription.

This program is FREE to BDC members.
