Website Optimization for Tourism Businesses During COVID-19 

COVID-19 is forcing us all to get creative, so let’s channel that energy towards making your website the best and most useful it has ever been.
Thursday, Sept. 10 from 12-1 p.m., join Jessica Tate, Senior Art Director at ThinkShout and Kate Jorgensen, Products & Platforms Manager at Travel Oregon, for a discussion about website best practices during COVID-19. With the world turning to the internet for ideas on what can be done (and safely) during a global pandemic, your website just got a major promotion. This webinar is the first of a Small Business Marketing Series being developed and hosted by Travel Oregon and is best suited for small and medium size businesses and destination management organizations.
