Are you interested in learning how to better utilize social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube to market your business and retain more customers? Are you in the hospitality, public relations or marketing field? Kent County Tourism still has a few seats available for the Social Media Marketing workshop in Dover, Thursday, May 27, at 8 a.m.
Mindie Burgoyne, noted author, entrepreneur and economic development professional, will present the two-hour viral marketing workshop on at the Holiday Inn Hotel, 562 N. DuPont Highway in Dover. The workshop, which will begin with a continental breakfast, will be presented by Kent County Tourism.
"This is not a 'how to build a Facebook page' class," Burgoyne said. "It's more of a 'how to strategize' with social media to get results.”
Burgoyne said the workshop will focus on how to promote a product or brand. Social media can be a platform for virtual networking, the same as personal networking, only online.
“Once you build a relationship through social media, you can leverage that relationship to create a buzz about your company, product or cause," Burgoyne said.
Burgoyne, a resident of Maryland's Eastern Shore, is employed by the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development serving businesses and local governments in Maryland's rural areas. Her expertise includes business assistance and aid to local jurisdictions including help with heritage tourism, destination marketing and community development.
During the workshop, she will cover the basics of social media and its impact including how to use social media to create viral distribution of information; networking versus marketing; the five biggest mistakes using social media; and how to leverage your social media network to create a buzz about your brand. She also covers the "Big 5" social media networks including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and blogs.
Burgoyne has presented viral and social media seminars for Chesapeake College, Allegany College of Maryland, the Maryland Economic Development Association, the Maryland Writers Association's annual convention and at the annual conference of the Electric Cooperatives of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
The cost of the program is $10 per person, and pre-registration is required due to a limited number of remaining seats. To register, call Kent County Tourism at 302-734-4888 or 302-734-8309.
