SBDC Business Resources and AI Video Tools
Curious about AI? Join us for a Lunch & Learn exploring simple, beginner-friendly AI video tools anyone can use. Video works. In fact, 89% of businesses now use video as a marketing tool because it captures attention and boosts engagement more than text alone. Come learn about AI Video tools, no tech skills required!
WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
Video is one of the most powerful ways to connect on social media and online. In this session, you’ll see how easy it is to create short, engaging videos for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube using AI tools — even if you’ve never made a video before. We’ll share practical examples you can use at work, in school, on community projects, or for fun.
PLUS, LEARN ABOUT THE SBDC:
The Southwest Minnesota SBDC offers confidential, no-cost consulting to entrepreneurs and innovators. We’ll briefly share how our services work and how you can access support if you have an idea you’d like to grow.
The Southwest SBDC provides consulting, training and research to assist small businesses to start, grow and transition.
With our Regional Office at Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) in Marshall and Satellite Offices at the Enterprise Center in Hutchinson and on the Lower Sioux Reservation at the office of Dakota Futures, we provide entrepreneurs and business owners access to one on one consulting.
The philosophy of the Center is based on the state wide SBDC principle that helping our small businesses is critical to our economy and the quality of our communities.
We offer customized technical assistance and support to businesses at any point in their life cycle, from start-up to growth to exit strategies.
The Southwest SBDC serves 18 counties and two Native Nations in southwest Minnesota:
