Do you use Microsoft Office in your business, company or organisation?
Would you like help to do more with it? Would you like us to show you how?
Microsoft Ireland are making a member of our team available for a half day’s help and advice on using Microsoft Office – and would also like to hear your thoughts on how else they can help you!
Just tell us what you would like help or advice with; for example, would you like tips on how to use Excel better? Would you like to see Outlook’s Calendar make more sense? Have you always wondered how to get animations into your presentations or a table of contents in your documents? Could we help you create posters in Word?
We’d love to hear what you’d like from half a day with us. We’d be happy to help.
Arts Organisations, Not for Profits, Small Businesses – you’re all more than welcome to apply!
You’ll also get a free One Year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 worth €150.00 ensuring you can access your work wherever you are.
People might appreciate a very quick version of what this is about:
Nominate a business – even your own – to win a Surface Pro 2 Tablet plus Keyboard with Microsoft Office 365 worth €1,300 – just tweet the company name with #getitdoneIRL or comment on this post. Full details.
Tell us who you are, what you do, how you do it, how many employees you have and where people can find you.
We’ll share it on this site, by email to all our newsletter subscribers, to our social media channels and, if we can, we’ll highlight it on our Customer Showcase on our Work Smart Programme. It may introduce new customers to you!
At the core of #getitdoneIRL is a commitment to help small businesses in Ireland.
Microsoft created Office 365 to help small businesses, and Microsoft Ireland created their Work Smart programme to to help small Irish businesses to work smarter with their technology saving time, money and effort into the process.
We think a new Surface Pro 2 tablet with keyboard, with a year’s subscription to Office 365 would help a small business. It’s worth €1,300. We’re also offering support in getting everything set up.
Which small business deserves it?
We’re asking you to nominate the small business in Ireland that you think deserves the tablet either in the comments below or just tweeting about them using the hashtag #getitdoneIRL.
You’re more than welcome to nominate your own business.
We’d like to hear why they – or you – deserve it. It may be great customer service. It may be their passion. It may be the quality of their products. It may be just that you like them.
Every small business mentioned will be in with a chance of winning the tablet. Every time someone nominates a company, we’ll fill out a small card like below and put it in box. At the end of the day, we’ll pick out one of the cards and that company will win the prize.
However, if several different people nominate the same company, they each get a card – so, the more unique nominations a company has, the more cards it gets in the box.
For example, if John nominates company A, using the #getitdoneIRL hashtag, company A gets one card in the box.
If Chris, Susan, Anto and Kelly nominate company B, company B gets four cards in the box.
A person can only nominate a company once – multiple tweets from the same account nominating the same company won’t be counted – but the more cards in the box, the better their chances of winning.
We’ll also be checking the nominations are from valid accounts that haven’t signed up just to nominate!
So, if you know a business who deserves a Surface Pro 2, let us know!
