Social Media

You may have noticed that, as a company, we put a lot of emphasis on social media.  I am constantly reading books and going to seminars to keep up with all that is going on around us. 

To help me out, I have signed up for a Social Media Seminar in NYC on April 1st.  It is being held by National Seminars Training and here is their description of the program:

Social Media Has Taken the World by Storm. Will You Get Left in the Dust?

You don’t have to go far to know that social media is the buzzword du jour. In fact, it’s being hailed as the one-stop resource for making your marketing dreams come true. Sure — if you can slog through all the “expert articles,” researching blogs and meeting with expensive consultants, or even attending “one-hour training sessions” from a variety of vendors. Who has time for that?

The truth is, you know how powerful and effective social media can be — you don’t need the nightly news or a best-selling book to embrace its potential. You need answers to your questions. You need a little less stress and a lot more ideas. That’s where this workshop comes in.

Take the Guesswork Out of Social Media Marketing ...
There are hundreds of ways businesses use social media to enhance their business success.

• One small-business owner uses Twitter to announce his flavor of the day.
• A food vendor uses Twitter to tell his ‘followers’ where they can find him each day.
• Restaurants, retail shops, and clubs use Facebook to offer specials and discounts to their ‘fans.’
• Sales professionals use LinkedIn to generate new, highly qualified leads.

In short, customers search Web pages, user groups, online communities, and blogs for information on the products and services they want and need — YOUR products and services.

Organizations large and small, local and global, not-for-profit and for profit are using social media to promote their products ... boost revenue ... generate leads ... enhance customer service ... increase loyalty ... and much more.

When it comes to social media marketing ... the world is your oyster. The question is what can social media marketing do for you? We’ll show you here.
