by Laura Orsini


If you're trying, but seem to be coming up short - or if you're just not sure how to put Facebook to work as the fantastic business tool it can be, this program is for you! Mark your calendars for the Tuesday, December 14 meeting of the Scottsdale Express Network, as Laura Orsini teaches you the ins and outs of using Facebook to build your business.

You will learn:

  • How it's all about the relationships, NOT the selling.
  • The difference between a page and a group.
  • How to use HTML to pretty up your pages.
  • Ideas for campaigns that will build your status as an expert.
You're on Facebook and you have a business - but are you using the relationships you're creating to broaden your client base, extend yourself as an expert, and increase your credibility?

OFFICER GREETING!

Dear SEN Members,


SAM_2010

This is the last month of the year and the last meeting before we end the raffle on Christmas. So, let's sell tickets. The winner certainly wins good. All the prizes and can be shared. If they know someone who needs a website or a resumes, you can pass it on.

 

We have found that working with an established charity means giving them enough time to prepare for any advertising. We were not as prepared as well could have been. We had the opportunity to get on local Fox news but didn't give our charity enough time to prepare. Since we are not allowed to pay online for raffle tickets except to send money to our account, it kind of made it hard to sell tickets.

 

The raffle is done online though. Once we sell a ticket, we put the buyer's name, phone and email in an area. It sends the buyer a number confirming they are in the system. On December 24 midnight happens the system will randomly pick a number and it will be on the site Christmas day December 25th. That part works great. It is an opportunity and the odds are good you will win.

 

We are planning a beer-tasting fund raiser for the spring any ideas are welcome. If you know a place to have it please let us know.

 

I also want to mention that our meetings are now focused on social media. We find that the topic is what everyone wants to know more about. There are also many tricks to using the different programs. Therefore, presentation on the same subject can only enhance your experience.

 

See you at the meeting,

TREASURER'S REPORT

Is money getting a little tight?

 

man on moneyHas the recession hit you too? Well, SEN is also feeling a pinch. We have some annual expenses coming up, and no money. We really need your help in making our on-line raffle a success so that we can get ahead of the game.

 

So, if you haven't purchased a ticket, do it now. Talk it up with your contacts. And, if you can, donate a prize. It's good advertising for your business. I know Homeward Bound will appreciate whatever we can donate to them.

 

Promote your business and participate in community involvement at the same time. It's a win-win situation.
