Jana Kiefer, GROWMARK’s web publisher travelled up from Bloomington, Illinois for the day to lead the group through a hands-on session with participants each equipped with individual lap tops. Through the help of GROWMARK IT staff, the Kitchener office board room was converted into a professional computer lab training center.
Jana covered a variety of topics on how to set up and navigate through the DTN website module. Participants learned about different design templates, how to navigate properly, and overall site maintenance. After lunch, Terry Stevenson, communication manager for AGRIS Co-operative and Jeff McCallum, communication and marketing specialist for North Wellington Co-operative Services provided the group with some other ideas and examples of enhancements that they have incorporated into their websites.
GROWMARK offers its members a website support program that it manages with DTN. Member co-operatives that sign on to this program will have the added peace-of-mind of having a support contact that can provide the expertise required to produce and maintain a professional looking website as well as some extra value provided by DTN because of its relationship with GROWMARK that may not be available independently.
Marketing assistants from Lucknow District Co-operative, Huron Bay Co-operative, Sunderland Co-operative, North Wellington Co-operative Services, AGRIS Co-operative, FS PARTNERS and Co-operative Regionale de Nipissing Sudbury made the trip to Kitchener to learn more about website development. If you would like more information on GROWMARK's website support program, please contact Jana Kiefer at jkiefer@growmark.com or 309-557-6170.
