After the workshop, DGWGO will continue the support with a dedicated series of DGWGO posts under the Kirkcudbright Open for Business banner which will include

• Individual shout-outs or short features for the businesses who attend
• Professionally designed posts shared on DGWGO’s main Facebook and Instagram channels, using a consistent campaign look and message
