Courses, Workshops & Conferences 2014: Should You Advertise During the Christmas Break?
The Christmas break is approaching and all university departments are getting busy finalizing their end-of-year work.

Of course, much depends on your target audience: but while for many December 25th will be almost certainly dedicated to family commitments, for many the days before and after Christmas represent one of the few times of the year that they can actually spend searching more deeply for information in their field of interest, especially with regard to extra training and conferences.
