Social media, Web 2.0, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube: the words have bounced around your boardroom like superballs… For many, it's becoming harder to justify the ROI and time spent in these many new and crowded online social spaces when the results are not immediate and obvious. In the end, is social-media marketing really going to help you grow your firm and make more money?

The answer is yes. It doesn't matter which industry you're in, how small or large your niche is, whether you target consumers or businesses, or whether your product sells for $1 or $1 million… If you do not acclimate yourself to social media now, you will soon fall far behind your competitors.

Learn Practical Strategies and Tactics to Successfully Market Your Business
Through Social Media


January 21-22, 2010

Social media is fundamentally changing the way businesses communicate, opening a huge door for savvy companies. The movement to social media has become a stampede. Facebook adds 200,000 users per day, LinkedIn has grown by more than 300% since 2007, and Twitter grew more than 400% this year alone.

If you want to supercharge your online marketing, you need a social media strategy. It provides an exceptional opportunity to build more exposure, strengthen a brand, and improve your web optimization positioning.
