Social Media Webinar Series for Business Professionals.

Do you value Word-of-Mouth marketing?
It's about customers sharing their opinions and recommendations with people they know, including family, friends, employees, co-workers, etc.

Social media and the social web is one of the best forms of word-of-mouth marketing! Social media tools such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are places where people connect with their friends to share their experiences, ask for opinions and recommend products and services. 

To help you or your organization fully utilize social media, we offering a special program with Gems Solutions.   Members of the Sault Area Chamber of Commerce receive a special rate on a series of upcoming seminars to keep you updated on the latest and greatest ways to use Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.


The second series begins in December and is a series of three one-hour seminars highlighting the benefits a Facebook page can bring to your business.  A seminar on Twitter will follow in December and January.   Chamber members can participate for a cost of $25 per series.
