HAMMOND – The Louisiana Small Business Development Center at Southeastern Louisiana University
will host a seminar Tuesday, May 7, on effective techniques for using facebook in
business.
The free event, held in conjunction with the city of Covington, St. Tammany West
Chamber of Commerce and SCORE, will be held at the Greater Covington Center on 317
N. Jefferson Ave. from 9 a.m. to noon.
"The buzzword in marketing and the 800-pound gorilla in social media is, without
a doubt, Facebook," said Sandy Summers, assistant director of the Small Business Development
Center. "It is common today for most businesses to have a Facebook page, but once
you create the page, what do you do with it? This seminar will look at some advanced
techniques for using Facebook as a marketing tool."
Summers said participants will learn about landing pages, page design, deals,
analytics, best practices, contests and more.
"Brian Walker, owner of 5 Stones Media will instruct the class," Summers said.
"Brian is also a regional representative for Constant Contact and travels throughout
the state to educate businesses on ways to reach and keep their customer base through
effective and affordable marketing technologies."
There is no charge to attend the event; however, pre-registration is preferred.
