You know the best way to grow your business is online but between social media, getting your own website in order, and creating email newsletters, it’s hard to figure out the best way to spend your time and money. Consider this your ‘crash course’ in concepts you need to know about promoting your business online. We’ll look at concepts like targeted ads, search engine optimization, blogging and more with a birds eye view so you can know what is most relevant, saving your time, money, and sanity.

Social Media Marketing Register

Social media websites are among the most visited websites online and it’s important you as a business or non-profit be a part of them. How are companies like yours using social media to do more? What websites should you be using and how? When is it ‘worth it’ to pay for ads? We’ll answer these questions and more looking at the most major social networks online today: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Google, and Youtube.

Promoting & Advertising on a Shoestring Budget Register
Monday, April 10, 2017  5:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Whether you’re just starting or have been in business for years, being smart about your marketing budget is never a bad idea. This course will look at email marketing, social media, website, and in person strategies to grow your business. We’ll talk about how to evaluate scams, figuring out who your customers are, and when it is ‘worth it’ to hire someone to help versus DIY. If you want to save time or money or both, we have you covered.

This event is a coordinated effort with the Maine Small Business Development Centers and our friends at the Bucksport Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.
