Local business owners and managers in Leicestershire are invited to a social media seminar taking place in October to learn about the latest trends in social media, and how they can be used in different industries. All proceeds from the seminar will go to the LOROS hospice.
The aim of the seminar, called ‘Are you wasting your time on social media?’ is to show business owners how they can utilise social media to boost their business as part of their marketing mix.
The half day event is being held at The Waterfront Restaurant in Market Harborough on Thursday October 30th, and will run from 9.00am ‘til 12.00pm. Jessica Shailes, Head of Digital Marketing at The Ideal Marketing Company will be hosting the event. With seven years’ experience of using social media in business, Jessica has helped hundreds of companies from across a variety of industries to get the most from their social media presence. “With the rise of social media in the last ten years, it’s important that businesses don’t waste their time on the wrong activities,” Jessica comments.
“This seminar aims to give business owners an idea of which platforms could be profitable for them, how to create a campaign that works, and how to create an effective plan.” The seminar costs £50 per person and 100% of the money raised will go to LOROS Hospice who offer support and care for those suffering from terminal illness in Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland.
The Ideal Marketing Company have raised £1600 for LOROS this year, and Jessica hopes to reach £2000 with this seminar.
The seminar is being held upstairs at The Waterfront Restaurant at Union Wharf. For more information or to book a place visit www.idealmarketingcompany.com/
