St. Charles, MO (PRWEB) August 30, 2013 - Social Media continues to become a major component in developing an overall marketing strategy. Businesses continue to look for ways to effectively use social media. Social Media is pretty easy to use, and it certainly is very popular. But using it effectively can be a challenge for many businesses.
Changescape Web is offering the Fall Social Media Series. The series is comprised of 4 different seminars: Social Media for Business, Facebook Marketing, Social Media for Restaurants, and Blogging.
Social Media for Business focuses on Which Social Media channels should a business use; How to integrate Social Media into your website, print, email, and other marketing; Social Media Management - how, when and where to post; and How to create a Social Media Strategy
Facebook Marketing provides an in depth review of Facebook Business Pages and its features, using custom Facebook Applications, Facebook ads and promotions, integrating Facebook into your website, and how to develop a Facebook Marketing Strategy.
Social Media for Restaurants zeros in on which social media features restaurants can use to help promote and grow their businesses. It also includes location based social media sites and strategies.
Blogging is most likely the single most important thing businesses can do to be more findable online. Blogs are great for search engine optimization. Companies that blog have 97% more inbound links and 55% more website visitors. Yet many businesses are not harnessing the power of blogging.
"“It’s important to recognize how social media fits into an overall marketing strategy and its role in lead generation and sales, as well as how it helps businesses be more findable online,” said Ken Tucker, Owner of Changescape Web. Changescape Web has done several social media training classes, including hands on Facebook and Social Media Boot Camps.
