Many of you have probably heard about social media marketing, maybe even dabbled a bit with Twitter, Facebook LinkedIn, or blogging but you are still not sure how you can put social media to work for you and your business. In the Business of Social Media Workshop we will help you not only understand the need and the importance of social media marketing, but we will also help you in getting started.

If you are struggling and your marketing dollars are shrinking we challenge you to give social media marketing a try. One of the beautiful things about the use of social media, besides its expansiveness, is that you can combine online marketing with your existing networking and marketing efforts. Turn those websites that are sitting their without being seen into a place for information and relationship building. Take all of those business cards you get at networking events and put them to good use by creating automated and systematized digital marketing campaigns. Tap into the over 600 million people on the top four social and business networking websites, they are just waiting to meet you!

Fill in form and fax to (239)332-7276 or register online at www.fortmyers.org. Class size is limited.
