What a great workshop this morning!

What a great breakfast workshop we had this morning with Kathie Melocco! Kathie is an expert in using social media as a marketing tool, and explained how and why it worked to around 25 members and guests this morning.

RBF has had its own Facebook page and a blog for some time now, and are now tweeting on Twitter. But there's a lot more to this than knowing the basic operating ideas with Twitter and the other social media sites; Kathie gave a fantastic overview on how to measure your social media marketing.

Social media sites are providing canny companies with amazing stats in viral marketing... marketing that markets itself as people talk about you or send links to your YouTube videos, your blogs, your website.

We can't divulge all here - but do contact Kathie if you'd like to know more about this hot topic and get yourself some training in social media marketing.

Do you know how to attract new customers and grow your business with social marketing?

Remember when everyone was just beginning with websites. Everyone wondered how this would help a business, now we all couldn't do without our online shopfront. Same now applies to Social Media, a new tool for business. Get it right and you have the power to connect with thousands of new clients 24/7. Dismiss it and it might just overrun you anyway...

Not convinced, well I share in my seminars a case study of a US lawyer who gets ALL of his work via social media. No wonder he's writing a book!

But Back to basics: In this tough economy, Social Networking offers you a free way for your business to connect with your target market and build client relationships with a few clicks of your mouse. It offers any business, organisation or individual the opportunity to attract new clients through the 'cocktail party' analogy - connect with people who have an interest in your business segment, product or simply value what you share in manner that they trust, so much so that you are their first call when the need arises.
