In university, mini project workshops are important to be attended by students as they help in increasing and enhancing the level of knowledge
at higher scale. Moreover, the workshop which was attended by me was beneficial for my future and growth development also necessary for me to
apply my appropriate type of knowledge to the workshop. So this mini project workshop was based on digital marketing and online marketing
concept (Aleluia, 2017).Main purpose of this workshop was to increase and enhance the awareness of changes as well as new technologies in
business environment which are required to be adopted in order to achieve competitive benefits. This workshop is beneficial because it makes me
understand the importance of digital marketing in business and how it is becoming more trending due to this ongoing pandemic situation. So it is
critically essential for every business to adopt digital marketing tools through which it is easier to accomplish all goals and objectives without facing
any problem. When I attended this workshop it was a new thing for me and where I met the new people as well as their perception level were to be
understood by me. Furthermore it was seen that this had to be out in clearing of my mind set as well as skills how I can use done at appropriate level.
This mini project contributed towards development of social as well as ethical awareness and possibility as because through this mini workshop it

was easier for me to examine and analyses how of society and community is more active towards use of internet and purchase products as well
services online. Also, ethical and responsibility were to be determined by me by examining of executing the business activities with proper ethical
procedures and use of efficient resources. This digital marketing workshop makes me understand the use and importance of resources in most
efficient way

4. Conclusion:
After examining the mini project workshop, it is seen that it is critically essential for student to be active during such type of workshops so that
they are able to learn new things and explore more new opportunities as well as deep knowledge. More about this has been also seen that a proper
analysis is required to be made so that decisions are undertaken in most efficient way. It is critically necessary whether it is essential to attend the
workshop or not and how they can benefit in growth as well as development.
