What is another term for "Work Shop"

I’ve struck a mental blank today. My boss has asked me to put together some advertising flyers and he’s got listed

New - Free - Interactive Towing Work Station.

To me “Work Station” is your desk + computer at work.

I suggested “Work Shop” but to him that is boring seminar.

So I come to the source of all wisdom SDMB and ask what is another term I can use?

Leechbabe who’s job description is book-keeping and reception not marketing. :slight_smile:

What exactly is the thing – a desk that your computer sits on that you can pull around the office behind you (like one of those little dogs with the rotating legs)?

If so, how about:

Computer Stand
Computer Desk
Computer Station

Yes, just what is an Interactive Towing Work Station"?

and how do I get my free one?

I don’t know what it is, but if its free, I must need one.

Clarification - We are holding a recreational vehicle expo and as part of this there will be lessons where people can practice towing a caravan (trailer).

Its Free and Interactive and about Towing so I have

New - Free - Interactive Towing ???

but what do I call it Lessons bring a classroom visual to me which is not what we want.

Any help appreciated :slight_smile:

Um…what about “class”? That seems to be what you’re offering, an expo and interactive class.

Your boss is wrong, workshop is exactly the term he’s looking for…
But you could try him out on

Practice Towing in our Trailer Workshop
Hands-On Towing Classes
(if he won’t give it the work station, at least make his meaning more obvious, ie,
Test your Towing Skill at our Towing Work Station

Not to mention "new! “Fat free” and “Fun for the Kiddies” :wink:

What about “Clinic”

as in

NEW - FREE - Interactive Towing Clinic

Assuming that the rest of the ad makes it clear it’s a Recreational Vehicle Expo?

Urgh I hate being creative, give me a nice set of accounts to balance any day over this guff. :slight_smile:

So… what’s wrong with “lessons”?

Lessons and Class - both give visuals of sitting down and being lectured at by a teacher.

My boss wants it to have a more hands on feel which is what is actually going to be happening, with the General Public being able to hitch-up vans to tow vehicles and get to poke around the mechanicals etc.

Howzabout “Session”?

Soiree - and then you can eat !

To me, “Work Shop” indicates a place where you build things, possibly with power tools. “Workshop” indicates an educatinal session. I’d say “Hands-on towing clinic”. This is actually something I’d be interested in, since I’d someday like to buy a horse trailer.
