Abstract

You are warmly invited to attend a FREE evening talk at The Park Inn, Bedford (opposite Bedford College) on Tuesday 24 November 2015.

"What is Social Media? How do I make the most of it?" is the topic of a talk and demonstration by Mike and Georgia O'Keefe.

Have you been told that Social Media is vital and you need to use it but not sure how or why?

Do you find that you are just doing it because it's what everyone says?

Or you may not even be using it because there's so much to learn! We understand... Let us take you through the processes step by step and help you to understand why it is a part of the marketing mix, what you can do to make it more time-efficient and also help you to realise how it could really benefit you!

This presentation is aimed at the non-technical but business minded individuals who would like to get more out of their online presence or gain an insight into what you can achieve from Social Media and online marketing.
