The Power of Social Media

Kelsey, 24 year old small business owner at Orange Possum is active on Facebook.  Debworks found a promotion at www.lovealocalbusiness.com on Twitter and recommended Kelsey.  Her friends, family and customers voted for her company.  She won a $5,000 grant.

Judy Wrolson, small business owner of Cornerstone Cottage, works with Debworks to build and strengthen her social media presence.  Her Facebook only promotions are a big hit in the community – and even bigger hit in her cash register.  She’s now branching out and sharing her expertise on her blog.

Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce created a Monday morning e-Newsletter that goes out to over 200 chamber members.  Chamber members submit news, there’s a As Seen On Facebook section, ads are bought by members, and Chamber events are shared – both before and after the event.  What’s the biggest hit of the newsletter?  The pictures taken at events and the As Seen On Facebook section.

The Old Stone House Organization, a non-profit in Franklin County, Iowa uses a blog to share news, pictures and videos.  They raised over $80,000 to help restore the Old Stone House.  The blog gives their out of town supporters a place to see what’s going on and feel like they are a part of the community.

These are just a few of the stories that emphasize the power of Social Media.  Join us the first weekend in June and learn how your company can create a social media plan.  This will be the best conference you’ll ever attend.  Registrations are still open and we recommend you register today.  www.smallbizsocialmediasummit.com
