- Aspiring Entrepreneurs in Spain will Learn the Ins and Outs of Starting a Franchise Business -

Toronto, Ontario, April 23, 2010… WSI , the global leader in digital marketing solutions operating in over 80 countries worldwide, is organizing a business opportunity seminar series in Madrid, which will run from April 22 to April 26. The purpose of this seminar series is to educate aspiring entrepreneurs in Spain about the ins and outs of operating a successful business and the revenue opportunities available through a WSI digital marketing franchise.

Ron McArthur, president of WSI, says, “According to ZenithOptimedia, $1.1 billion will be spent advertising online in Spain this year, an 11% increase over 2009. Current trends indicate that Internet advertising spending will continue to rise as more businesses begin leveraging online tools to enhance their profit margins. This gives aspiring entrepreneurs an exceptional opportunity to join an established franchise system that offers digital marketing strategies to small and medium sized businesses. Through our business opportunity seminars, WSI aims to educate entrepreneurs on the advantages of owning a business and specifically the benefits associated with the WSI digital marketing franchise.”

The free seminar series will be facilitated by Abelardo Arcos and Antonio Fernandez, local WSI Consultants in Spain. Joining the seminars as a special guest speaker will be Ernesto Crespo, VP of Master Franchise Development at WSI Corporate. Ernesto will deliver a presentation on how digital marketing is shifting the way people do business online, WSI’s successful and proven system, WSI’s ABCs of digital marketing, training and certification programs available through WSI and the benefits of becoming a WSI franchisee.

Ernesto Crespo, VP of Master Franchise Development at WSI says, “The world experienced an economic crisis in 2009 as the word ‘recession’ resounded among most markets all over the world, including Spain. Interestingly, WSI saw a considerable increase in the number of digital marketing franchise offices opening around the world. This is an opportune time to invest in a proven franchise system like WSI, especially since marketers are shifting more of their advertising dollars from traditional channels to the Internet. WSI franchisees are specially trained and certified to offer advanced digital marketing strategies that include pay-per-click (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, lead generation, online brand reputation management, web analytics and more. Attendees will learn about these revenue opportunities at the seminars.”

Seminar attendees will receive a complete multi-media information package that will help reinforce what they learned at the session along with details related to the WSI franchise. Each seminar is two hours long and there are 2 sessions held each day:

§   April 23 at 12:00 and 18:00, Hotel Novotel
