Effective Social Media Workshop

There are still a few places on the Effective Social Media workshop I'm running on the 22nd April. This will cover:

  • What makes social media tools different
  • Why it's important for charities and not-for-profits to engage with them
  • How other charities and not-for-profits are using them
  • A quick look at some of the most popular tools, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
  • How to plan your social media strategy to make the most of your time and resources
  • How to build your audiences and turn engagement into action
  • How to measure and monitor results

It's suitable for anyone with an interest in this area, whether or not you have already used social media tools in your organisation.

The workshop will be held from 9.30am to 1pm, on Thursday 22nd April, at The Melting Pot, Rose Street, Edinburgh.

Price £65 for not-for-profit organisations and members of The Melting Pot, £105 for businesses and individuals.

To book, just complete the booking form or email charlotte@whitecherry.co.uk (but please read the booking terms and conditions before emailing).

Look forward to seeing you on the 22nd!
