This is another opportunity for some direction on navigating the social web as an business, non-profit, organization, etc. You can find the same info and sign up at the Facebook event (link just below), or email me back with your reservation, questions, etc. Have a good work week! http://www.facebook.com/events/489182337770867/ _________________________________________________ I know many of us are sole proprietors or independent contractors, work in small non-profit organizations, and are business/community leaders in our respective organizations. We might not be able to hire someone in social media communications, or aren't sure if we need to use it. Our last seminar was an overview of the culture and how it affects organizations and marketing. After some feedback, this next one will be much lighter on culture, and more experiential and practical. I will be sending each parti cipant a questionnaire for some feedback about what you would like to learn while together, about your industry or specialty, etc. Two hours is not very long, but I will attempt to meet as many desires as possible. Here's what you will walk away with: - Knowing the difference between social mediums and "traditional mediums" - Differences in expectations and practice in marketing as it pertains to the above - Set up at least one account for your organization, business, non-profit, etc. - Learned by doing! Navigating your account/s as a business (as different than personally) on whatever platform/s we use - Specific needs as defined by group via questionnaire or during the seminar Bring your notebook/laptop or tablet, although the former is better. A smartphone will get you through in a pinch, if that's your only portable device. (If you have more than one, bring them! Things appear different on different devices.)
