Chambers are famous for their social networking opportunities where people meet face to face such as Business After Hours, trade shows and golf tournaments. Now a term that is bantered about is “Social Media”. What is that all about?
It’s really networking electronically. We’ve introduced you to some aspects of Social Media, like blogs & podcasts, but there are a lot more ways to network using social media than that. Sharing videos, sharing photos, using message boards, using closed networks like Linked-In or Face Book. Then there’s wikis and nings and on and on.
What does this have to do with you? It could mean your economic success or failure. It is a new way to understand markets. A new way to solicit customers. A new way to retain customers.
The Technology Committee discussed Social Media at length this morning at our monthly meeting. If you had the opportunity to learn more about Social Media and how it could impact your bottom line, would you attend?
We’ll be standing by at this “Social Media Blog” waiting for your reply…..
Sure, I would try to attend!
Hope Chamber members recognize this opportunity and take advantage of a worshop.
Yes, I would attend.
