Facebook is a great tool for marketing your business, staying connected with customers and generating referrals. Are you taking full advantage of this free promotional opportunity? 

Join social media trainer Angela Crocker and fellow Mom Café members to learn methods to build and enhance your brand and expand your active customer base!

We’ll talk about the different ways your brand can have a presence – Profiles, Pages and Groups – and why Pages are the way to go. We’ll start with a checklist of the things you need to dress up your Page. We’ll then explore best practices on how to build your brand whether you provide a unique product or service or are operating as a local business owner for a national brand like Mary Kay.  We’ll go over the etiquette of Pages, talk about how to get fans, explore great content opportunities and take a quick peek at Facebook advertising. It will be a whirlwind of knowledge so bring your notebooks.
 
You won’t need it to participate in the class, but please feel free to bring your laptop, netbook or tablet to follow along online. Free Wi-Fi is available in the room.
