Small Business Management — Module 4: Marketing, Selling Online & Exporting

Share

About Course

A good product nobody hears about stays on the shelf. This module takes it to customers in Botswana and beyond.

Marketing, Selling Online & Exporting is the fourth of five modules in Small Business Management: Production, Value Addition and Export. It is built for people who make, grow or process something in Botswana, or run the services that producers need.

In seven lessons with Prof. Kitso you choose a brand and a target customer, plan a month of posts on the right platforms, take product photos and a 30-second video, run an advert on P50 a day and count what comes back, get found on Google and get paid by mobile money and WhatsApp, sell to shops and wholesalers, and work out a landed price for selling under SACU, SADC and the AfCFTA.

Every lesson has drawn diagrams, worked numbers in Pula and two practice boxes you can tap. The field tasks: a content plan, a product video and a priced export enquiry.

The module ends with a quiz with full explanations and your Market Launch Pack, marked by your teacher. Pass both to earn your Module 4 certificate.

Built, developed and assessed by qualified teachers. Aligned with HRDC priority skills. Stadira Training Institute, BQA-registered Consultancy, Reg. No. CON501, Gaborone, Botswana.
