Getting Started with Social Media

Did you know that marketing through social media is found to be more effective than traditional marketing? Social media has a recognised positive effect on web traffic, email queries and sales. It offers low cost avenues to raise awareness of your business and increase customer engagement.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• How to determine which channels are relevant for your business

• How to effectively use and manage social media
