The Content Matters workshop focuses on software tricks and free add-ons to improve your content editing and proofreading capabilities. These easy-to-implement tips will help you catch and correct errors as you fine-tune the software you’re already using. This workshop includes content editing tips for:

• Microsoft Word (installed versions for Mac and Windows—not online version)

• Microsoft Outlook (installed versions for Mac and Windows—not online version)

• Gmail/Gmail for Business

• Google Docs

Using real-world examples, this workshop highlights the prevalence of errors that consistently undermine companies' professional expertise and brand experience. Studies have shown that even simple typos lead to lower email open rates and to users abandoning websites. Content matters for attracting new clients and for your bottom line!

This workshop is purposefully very small, usually 6-8 attendees. Please arrive on schedule at 8:30AM so that everyone will have time for questions (especially given the multiple software versions). These tips are ideal for marketers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs, as well as professionals in fields such as communications, sales, non-profits, administrative support, account management, project management, and more.
