WELLINGTON – Jan. 12, 2012 – Eight people, including entrepreneurs, business students and people working in the community sector, greatly appreciated the first in a series of workshops touching on various aspects of marketing and promotion.

Offered by ProfitLearn PEI, in collaboration with the Acadian and Francophone Chamber of Commerce of PEI and the Collège Acadie Î.-P.-É., the first workshop, delivered in Wellington Jan. 11, looked specifically at marketing plans.
