Programme Highlights

Supercharging Your Facebook Marketing
Ron Cates - Constant Contact

It's no secret that Facebook has become a huge part of how people interact, share ideas and recommendations, and interact with brands. But too many businesses aren't seeing results from their Facebook marketing efforts because they are posting content without a plan for turning "fans" into customers and advocates. In this seminar, you'll learn why Facebook is important to your business, the difference between posting and marketing, and ten tips to drive more "likes," more "shares," and more business.
The 7-Step Social Media Marketing Strategy
Luke Brynley-Jones - Our Social Times

To start the day, Luke Brynley-Jones will explain how to create a social media marketing strategy in 7 simple steps. He will highlight all the key questions: Where are your customers? Which social media platforms should you focus on? Which 3rd party tools and applications do you need? Do you have the required skills? How can you manage your time? And how can you measure the results of your activities?
