Social Media: Better Content Equals Better Marketing
Hosted by: Greenfield Savings Bank
400 Main St., Greenfield, MA 01301
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+, emails, ads, mobile apps, websites and blogs…
There is an ever increasing number of channels available to small businesses to get their message out, yet most businesses are no better off now than they were prior to the advent of these new technologies. In this workshop we will explore the one area of social media that is often overlooked…content.
Technology alone is unlikely to improve your business but crafting well thought out content and a plan for distributing this content will help improve your current marketing situation with these new technologies.
Participants must have a basic understanding of the different social media platforms. The nuts and bolts of how each platform works will not be covered.
Presented by Derek Allard of Gravity Switch.
