Falling Behind in the Social Media Game? Double-digit Growth in Social Media use by Business Creates High Demand for Training
Use of Social Media for business has grown dramatically in Canada, according to a survey commissioned by office space provider Regus. 67% of Canadian business owners believe that marketing must now include using social networks to be successful, and 43% are already doing so. With this kind of shift in practices, many of those business owners are looking for both more information and for results-oriented training.

To answer this high demand, Go West Design Group is offering a new series of social media training workshops that provides hands-on experience. The goal is to simplify and demonstrate how this revolution in communications can help drive business without driving you crazy. The workshops will be led by successful social media pioneers, with a wealth of experience teaching social media to a wide variety of audiences, including small to medium size business, and public and private corporations.
“There are plenty of books, video tutorials and webinars that can get people started,” says Melinda Harris, “but not a lot of opportunities to learn in a hands-on fashion. Social media is opening up new channels of advertising, marketing and communication opportunities. Businesses that have embraced social media as part of their marketing strategy are gaining market share compared to their competitors who have not incorporated social media effectively or at all.
Classes are small and there is time for each participant to get individual attention to adapt strategies for their business. At the end of the day, participants walk away with strategies in place and a good sense of how to utilize social media into their marketing plan to get results.
Prerequisites: Have used and are familiar with the social network. Have an account for the social network corresponding to the seminar that you have signed up for.
Place: The Union Club, 805 Gordon Street | Time: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm | Workshops include a catered lunch
