Small Business Interactive Media Marketing Workshops
In this economy, businesses small and large are striving to pull ahead of the crowd- to be heard above the cacophony in the marketplace. The New Interactive Media (ie: Blogs, Facebook,You Tube, Twitter, Flikr, etc) are unique platforms to engage your target audience and create the kind of viral buzz that can make or break your business. These days, consumers want to do business with people they know and trust. However, the biggest mistake companies make is to continue a traditional marketing philosophy in the social media realm. Let us help you change your marketing paradigm with relationship marketing techniques that work well on the social web.
The “Talk of the Town” Workshop Series will delves extensively into each mode of social media, and includes knowledgeable speakers as well as peer coaching. We will come alongside you as you navigate the world of new media and customize it to suit your needs. Instead of talking into the sea of people and hoping one will hear, learn how to inspire others to talk about you in a positive way!
Talk of the Town Workshops are no longer being held monthly, but are booked individually for your chamber, CVB, marketing association or any small group. The series is meant to transform your marketing paradigm in 6 sessions.
