Tomorrows Social Media Marketers Start Here

As business owners and employees, we have come a long way since the early adoption of social media marketing. What started off as a wonder for many, soon became one of the main ways to get in front of our customers. Traditional marketing failed to keep up with where people were looking and social media marketing enabled business owners and employees to show up in a PULL marketing world. Years ago businesses pushed their ads in front of customers through newspaper ads, TV ads, and such. Now customers pull out their smartphones to begin searching for the products and services they want.

Social media marketing is not just typing in a box, pressing Post, and the customer requests and sales roll in. There is a fair amount of work to get social media working effectively for your business.

Customized For Maximum Skills Transfer

The 40-hour social media marketing program is broken down into 11-week segments. Each class is 3 1/2 hours in length. This provides enough learning time but does not totally exhaust the participant. Each participant is interviewed before the program begins so that the program can be customized to achieve maximum benefit. We believe that one size does not fit all. Each program has a framework, but customization is the key to participant success and skills transfer.

Social Media Marketing Strategy

Everyone learns differently. This must be incorporated into the Workplace Education program. A great instructor makes the program not only informative but also enjoyable. When you take a program from Jeff Brown of Alpha Social Media Inc, you get both.
