NABAS Social Media Webinar – Tuesday 19th July 2016
As promised, we held Amanda Hill’s Webinar. There were 2 options when booking: £0 which was for everyone that registered and paid for the business building course we held in Coventry, And then a £20 option. This was for everyone else that wanted to be a part of this information packed seminar.
No matter if you work from home, a shop, a unit or a wholesalers – you still need to capture customers and get them to do the hard work of selling your business to others… With social media, businesses have never had it so good – there are so many routes to market that you can find no and low cost marketing at every turn.. BUT how effective are you at using them and and is it making the till ring?
This 2 hour, intensive training session concentrated on a couple of important social media channels to your business, to help you attract the audience you need for your balloon business, without spending every waking hour disappearing down the black hole of online.
