Marketing with Social Media Course Slated for March

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

The combination of moving faster and being connected 24/7 means one thing: you must be more clear in your communication.

Social media provides an opportunity to directly connect with customers, vendors, potential employers and friends. Frequently, the proliferation of social channels and the lack of a cohesive strategy dooms the effort before it begins.

Marketing with Social Media, a nine-hour course from UNM Continuing Education puts you in  a position of choice. The three-session course will help you:

  • Realistically assess where you are and where you want to go
  • Explore social options that complement current strategies and serve your purpose
  • Understand how major social media channels best serve their participants
  • Explore the ever-changing world of Facebook Pages (formerly called Fan pages)
  • Identify the differences between Profiles and Pages on Facebook, the number one social media choice, and review communication strategy differences for the two
  • Gain knowledge of resources to automate and systematize your social media experience
  • Develop a strategy for choosing your communication channel and making it more successful
  • Review examples of best practices to solidify thought processes
