New England Xpo for Business: Using Social Media to Drive Business Development
An exclusive Workshop produced by the Boston Chapter of the American Marketing Association

With the US in a recession most companies are indiscriminately slashing budgets of their marketing and sales generating programs. You can’t just slash your way to prosperity - it leaves you poorly positioned to develop new business; you’re unable to take advantage of revenue generating opportunities; and you can’t connect with existing customers to calm their fears.

Don’t just survive the current crisis – position yourself to pull ahead of your competitors when the economy recovers.

The current economic downturn has changed the rules of marketing forever. Most traditional marketing strategies are no longer effective in reaching your potential customers.

So, how do you effectively develop new business in this bad economy?

In this seminar we will examine what steps you can take to combat this economic downturn, find new business, solidify your relationship with existing customers and position yourself for growth.

In this workshop you will:

  • Learn what steps you can take to reposition your business to survive and thrive in the current economic climate
  • Understand how new approaches in social media can catapult you into new market opportunities while reducing your marketing costs
  • Learn about different social media platforms, so you can choose the right strategy for your business
  • Find out how to monitor and manage your reputation online
  • Where your online networking strategy fits into your business development plan
  • How to leverage social networks to attract more prospects, profits and personal success.
This event is a hot ticket for marketing pros responsible for developing social media strategies, or for those businesses looking at social media as a new method of building leads. Space is limited, so register for this insightful and dynamic workshop today!
