Don't talk to me about social media ? show me the money! | Bevan ...

Cut through the confusion to clear business benefits

A one-day workshop for small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs?who feel they should be using social media but can?t figure out why, or who are using it but getting no perceivable benefits.

At last ? a social media workshop that speaks your language!

Practical, down-to-earth help and advice on how to use social media as tools for profit, and why it is essential for your future success.

No gushing social media gurus, no fancy high-tech glossy hype, no complicated concepts ? just good solid help.

Saturday, 28 May, Vancouver

White Spot Restaurant
1616 West Georgia
Vancouver, BC

We hear your concerns!

I?m only interested if it?s going to help my business?

Of course you are, and we respect that. This one-day workshop is run by people who run small businesses and understand the pressures and constraints of doing that. But they also know, from their own experience, that a good social media strategy is not only essential for success, but also pays huge dividends.

Just tell me how I can use it ? in my language!

We understand your frustration! There are too many people out there shouting about it, giving us the shiny picture, but they?re not in our businesses, are they! Here, you will get the real picture, and how it relates to boosting your bottom line.

I don?t have time to waste.

Neither do we! And we know you won?t be disappointed.?This workshop has a fast-paced and packed schedule. You?ll go away with a ton of information that you can implement relatively easily ? or you?ll know how to get someone else to do it for you.

Once the workshop?s over and I?m back at work, that?s when I?ll need help.

We know that. This is a journey, a process you are entering into. That?s why we?ve built in access to further information on an on-going basis. Social media are changing and developing every day ? just like your business ? so we all need to stay in touch so we can evolve and integrate new ideas as they become important to us.

What you need to know that?s essential and useful:

  • Return on investment ? how to recoup it in your terms
  • Why and how to integrate popular social media tools into your business
  • Netiquette, Twitteracy, building and expanding results-based activity
  • Avoiding internet-overwhelm and staying on track
  • Cost-effective strategies that don?t eat into your day
  • How to get started, get profitable and keep going

Social media is here to stay; but more than that, it represents a seismic shift in how all business is done. It?s a new environment, language and culture. We can choose to embrace it and make it work for us, or we can keep trying to do things in the old ways. The fact is, the old ways are quickly becoming obsolete. The new ways are getting results ? much, much better results.
