Connstep - Social Media: Before You Begin

Thursday, May 26, 2011 — Wednesday, December 31, 1969

Everyone, from individual owners to Fortune 500 companies, is chatting about social media. There is an urge to run out and get started immediately, but where do you start?

Before you begin this journey, you need to understand what your goals and objectives are, which platform is the most logical to achieve those goals, and how you will measure success.

Research done by Eric Qualman, author of Socialnomics found that 78% of consumers trust peer recommendations over traditional advertising. With bloggers posting opinions about products and brands, and millions of users tweeting their thoughts every day, there are endless opportunities and connections to be had for a company utilizing social media for business purposes.

Join CONNSTEP and Site-Seeker, Inc. for an interactive, fun workshop and learn how to create a social media strategy, which platforms to use for business success and how to measure and meet your goals.

Thursday, April 21, 2001
9:00 am to 12:00 pm
Hosted by CERC, 805 Brook Street, Building 4
Rocky Hill, Connecticut
