A One-Day Seminar

June 23, 2009

Facilitated by Liese Gardner and Rachel Globus

At Mille Fiori Floral Design Studio, Culver City

Limited to 20 people to ensure personalized attention

Why attend: Get thousands of dollars in marketing advice and hands-on instruction in how to use FREE internet marketing to your advantage. Come for a day of education followed by community building, wine and even some floral arranging courtesy of Mille Fiori’s talented owner, Gina Kim-Park!

What it’s all about: Online marketing used to mean a web site. Today it’s so much more. You already know that it works but you may not know how it can work for you. This workshop is about creating your brand and message online and taking it full circle through your web, blog, social sites and Twitter.

Today the internet has never been more important in building and growing your business.

This social media and marketing Workshop is a fun, hands-on, community-driven workshop open to all event planners, designers, caterers, rental dealers, florists, creative businesses and individuals.

Before The Social Media Workshop, we personally talk to each attendee to learn more about what you want to achieve so we can be sure and cover it during the day. The morning of the session, we will cover marketing techniques and develop marketing strategies specific to your business. In the afternoon, we launch into a hands-on workshop where you will learn how to:

• Create a blog using the format right for you
• Set up profiles on social media sites
• Learn the small but powerful tricks that drive more traffic to you
• Create platforms for better navigation
• Develop your own voice
• Create content that is entertaining, informative and keeps people coming back
• Enhance SEO to your web site
• Learn the power of twitter, facebook and linkedin for extending your brand
• Learn how to create and use E-zines and vlogs
• And  more
