Leveraging Facebook Pages for Business?

That Takes Training!

Facebook is one of the largest social media networks with over 740 million users, and is the most multimedia friendly of the big three.  With 80% of consumers using Facebook, it's no wonder businesses and organizations are flocking to this social utility to engage, connect and build relationship with customers

While Facebook is a free tool, it can also be a potential business time robber when you don't use it efficiently.  Many company's and organizations that have started a Facebook Page or Group have yet to see the conversion of fans to customers. They are wondering if the time, energy and effort is worth it when there has been little to no return on investment.

We can't say we blame them!  That's why we developed the "Making it Work for You - Social Media Training for Farm & Seafood Producers".  In this workshop, you will learn how to create a Facebook Page and Group, plus learn how to master the Facebook Tools and Functionality to get your name mentioned across this social network.  You will also learn how to integrate your use of other social networking tools to enhance your overall Facebook Presence.
