Ready, Set, Grow: Digital Business Foundations - A Philly Tech Week Event

As Philadelphia prepares for the Semiquincentennial, local businesses have a major opportunity to grow—but only if they’re positioned to be found, trusted, and chosen.

Join WURD Radio for Ready, Set, Grow: Digital Business Foundations, a live broadcast and panel discussion hosted by Stephanie “Tech Life Steph” Humphrey, taking place during Philly Tech Week at P4 Hub.

This dynamic, real-world conversation is designed to help small business owners and entrepreneurs understand how to use everyday digital tools and strategies to grow their customer base and increase revenue. It’s also an ideal space for tech professionals who support small businesses to deepen their understanding of what drives customer acquisition and retention.

The discussion will focus on four essential questions every business should be able to answer:

Can people find you?
Learn how tools like Google Maps, search, and online listings impact visibility—and how customers discover businesses in real time.

Can they trust you?
Explore the role of reviews, consistent information, strong websites, and authentic digital presence in building credibility.

Can they buy from you easily?
Understand how mobile-friendly design, clear calls to action, online ordering, booking systems, and seamless payments remove friction and increase sales.

Will they come back?
Dive into strategies for customer retention, including email and SMS capture, loyalty, social engagement, and follow-up offers.

Expect a lively, informative conversation grounded in practical insights you can apply immediately—whether you’re running a storefront, building an online business, or supporting others through digital marketing and technology services.
