Social Media Workshops

It’s time to finally discover how to use Social Media Marketing to attract and engage quality customers and grow your business effortlessly.

There is no better place to build relationships with your prospective customers and getting them to know, like and trust you than on the internet using Social Media. It gives you the opportunity to connect and engage with your target market through real conversations, so your customers can become interested in your products and services before they even set foot in your business.

According to the 2010 Social Media Marketing Industry Report most consumers would rather work with businesses that have a strong online social media presence. It is also noted that more than 71% of businesses globally, plan on increasing their use of Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Blogs in 2010.

If you consider the following, you’ll see why social media should form part of your marketing efforts:

• Facebook has more than 500 million registered users worldwide, 2.5 million in South Africa, and the average user logs on 3 times per day or 19 minutes per session.
• Twitter adds 300 000 new users daily with 55 million status updates happening every day.
• Youtube receives more than 2 billion video views daily and more than 24 hours of video footage are uploaded to the video sharing site every minute of every day.

Clearly your customers are spending a lot of their time on social media sites. Shouldn’t your business be doing the same? Attend one of my Social Media Marketing Workshops designed to get you on the fast track to social media success.

“Before attending Hugh’s Social Media seminar, I was too overwhelmed by social media networks and couldn’t envision how to implement it for business. Hugh makes social media seem less daunting and offers fantastic ideas and examples. Thanks Hugh!” Chantél du Plooy – DiaMatrix

“As you know I had a dormant Facebook and LinkedIn account, since your course I have managed to stay active on my Facebook. It’s been great fun, for now I’ve kept it simple and have not yet put to use all your tips and suggestions. I believe that once I do both my personal and business Facebook accounts/page will boom. Your workshop was not only insightful but also inspiring. Thank you for putting it in simple lay man’s terms and backing this up with good examples.” Joana Hedtrich – TomTom

“I really enjoyed your seminar, I found the fact that we could use our laptops and do exactly what you were showing us was really hands on and practical. I think that most of us just ‘jump’ into social media and sort of figure it all out as we go along, but you really gave me a structured plan. What I will remember most is what you said about meeting people in person, we don’t just immediately try to sell them something, so I hope to go about my social media interactions the same way from now on. I did find the course a little overwhelming, it felt like I have to run a whole other business alongside my current one now! However, the breakdown at the end of the workbook made it practical and I’m endeavouring to stick to that schedule.” Marlette Hegyi – Outer Image

“The workshop was informative beyond my expectations. I never envisaged social networking having such a massive impact on business, especially the way major corporations have used it to target their business. The workshop opened me up to so many more opportunities to take forward in future business and it has definitely changed my perception on social networking in general. “ Gregg Forbes – Craving Novity
