Social media and inbound marketing continues to become an increasingly important avenue for your businesses to get found by and to engage with potential customers on the web. In this hands-on workshop, we focus on the most important avenues: Social Networks, Blogs and Online Videos.
Today’s customers increasingly ignore Spam email, TV ads and printed ads in newspapers and magazines. Instead, they visit Google and social networks for answers to their questions. The challenge for you is: will you be there to answer it, or will your competitors take the lead (and the customer)?
The main aim of Social Media Marketing is not to bluntly advertise or sell your products & services, but to build an online relationship with your followers and fans. Once your company has achieved an authoritative reputation and credibility, your fans will tell others how good you are without you having to do it yourself.
