Social Media and Social Media Marketing

The Homework…

Dear Social Media Student,

Our illustrious teacher, Mr Parkins, was kind enough to set all of you present on yesterday’s ‘Social Media for Business Taster Course’ a simple piece of homework to be completed within 7 days.

(Unlike your school days experience; however, the best student will receive a very nice bottle of champagne!)

The homework set is as follows:

We would like you to set about using an aspect of Social Media included in yesterday’s presentation (click here to view all UKNetWeb slideshows on Slidshare).

Once you have the details of an idea leave a short post here on the UKNetWeb Facebook Page explaining why you found this idea most interesting for your business and explain how you intend to use it as a brief entry on the main wall.

The best answer will be flagged up at the end of 7 days and the winning student will receive a fantastic bottle of champagne for their efforts.

Good luck in your endeavours – for more resources don’t forget the Delicious.com library of resources available at http://www.delicious.com/galileorm/smtc

Kind regards,

A series of lunch seminars organised by local companies uknetweb, Coodes and Niddocks have attracted another full house as businesses in Cornwall search to understand how they can utilise their online potential.

The specially arranged short seminars have been designed to give business owners and managers a quick burst of information covering the three major areas needed for success online.

Carried out over a lunchtime the intention is that each session allows those interested in trading online to build their knowledge without the need for whole days away from the office.

Law firm, Coodes, put forward Jonathan Wilde to give an overview of the legal documentation associated with trading online. Uknetweb MD, Toby Parkins provides insight into the role programming plays in successful e-businesses and Rob Edlin, MD of Niddocks looks at the online marketing aspects.

Each speaker takes around 15 minutes on their area of expertise, offering further one to one advice after the formal part of the session.

So far visitors to the seminars have represented a range of business interests and levels of experience, ranging from small cottage industries just starting out online right through to more experienced e-traders.

Uknetweb MD, Toby Parkins commented, “We wanted the seminar to be useful to both the new web business and those already underway. We knew from the start that the seminar would be information rich but that was always our intention. We wanted all our attendees to leave feeling they had really learnt something without the need for a whole day on each subject.”

Following the success of this event, the second so far, bookings are now open to the next event taking place on the 16^th of April. Anyone interested in attending this session should contact Laraine Smailes at Coodes Truro on 01872 246211 to arrange a free place.
