Supercharging Your Facebook Marketing
Anissa Starnes - 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.
