Using social media for business can feel very overwhelming! New platforms, people telling you new things constantly, trying to find what to post about… trying to find TIME to post those things. But social media marketing is essential for your business’ success in 2020.

In this course we will create a 2020 social media plan for your business; covering key events, ideas and business goals. This clear plan will ensure you’re not missing key opportunities and make sure you have a clear ‘to do list’ each week (of what posts you need to schedule).

The result? Your business will start to be more consistent, you will sell more and save time. This £50 course investment will return itself tenfold.

Facebook advertising has become very effective because unlike on TV or Radio, we have our full attention on Facebook when scrolling through it. Additionally, because the social media networks record our behaviours (what we buy, what we talk about, who we’re friends with etc.) Facebook adverts can be targeted in such a way that your products or services reach only the prospects likely to buy them.

In this workshop we will create 3 different Facebook adverts and go over the basics of how you could spend £20 show your business to 10,000 people!

Please bring a laptop to this course and ensure you have a business page on Facebook – this will ensure you can follow through with the steps we’re taking and maybe even create some adverts for yourself during the course!
