Social Media Marketing Made Simple
Keeping in touch is the most important element to building relationships that sustain and grow a business. The Internet has evolved into an amazing, low-cost, "right now" tool to communicate with your customers, clients, and prospects. But it is not just about websites and emails anymore. Social media has changed the playing field for reaching the masses, as well as giving them a way to respond.
Today's businesses need to be aware of all the avenues people are using to make buying decisions, and when it comes to social media, there are plenty of options. The most popular social media sites are Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and users have different expectations from each one.
In this seminar, you will learn social media best practices and what it takes to quickly implement them.

All businesses, even small ones, need four critical business skills - finance, sales and marketing, management, and finally delivery of a product or service to satisfy a customer. Many entrepreneurs in the start up phase do not realize the importance of partnering with others to acquire all the needed skills. Southeastern CT SCORE® offers workshops that cover all four areas.
Why do we conduct these workshops? First, our goal is to impart knowledge of the critical elements that you need to manage your business successfully. SCORE® counselors prepare most all of our presentations. They have developed ideas, not only from their 35+ years of business experience, but also from the practical experience of meeting with clients and learning what knowledge they need to manage their businesses.
