Social Media Essentials ITSM

 

ABOUT:

These days, social media tools are as common as cell phones, reality TV and celebrity award shows. By embracing social media tools and skills to market your business, you are amplifying the voice of your current customers and potential communities. This voice is strong and has the ability to change the perception of your company more than any multi-million dollar marketing campaign. The best part is, most of these tools are readily available with infinite possibilities.

The pervasive hyperbole of social media is affecting businesses like yours every day. Waiting to implement a social media presence for your business is no longer optional. This hands-on one-day workshop is designed to introduce rudimentary social media tools and skills, such as, Facebook, identity awareness, Twitter and dialogue engagement. Discover the fundamentals of creating a social media presence and see firsthand how organizations are using it to brand their business, communicate with their customers and expand their community. You will leave this workshop with a social media plan and practical ideas that you can implement immediately.
