Is promoting your business online a good idea?

June 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Is promoting your business online a good idea?

With the rising popularity of online social media sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Google, one local training organisation is determined to support small to medium business owners to make wise choices.

“We have been talking to businesses and they are crying out for some guidance in relation to how they can harness the marketing potential of online communities without getting burned financially,” says Sheree Graham from Consilium Institute for Training & Development.

In response to this demand, the Consilium Institute are proud to announce they will be hosting workshops over the coming three months to help to raise the level of awareness of how to promote your business online effectively.

“We have engaged online social media specialist, Hayley Solich, to facilitate the seminars which includes lunch in a classy venue and a chance for business owners to socialise and make some fresh contacts.  Hayley has over 8000 followers on Twitter and has been ranked in the top 100 Twitterers in Australia.  If you Google her name I think you’ll get a picture of how effective her marketing campaign has been,” says Mrs Graham.

Ms Solich runs The Creaticians, a small business support service that focuses on growing individuals to grow businesses. With a strong background in business training, having delivered the Cert IV in Small Business Management program for West Coast TAFE, Ms Solich has been intensely researching online markets for the past three years.

“What does a person without a road map and a business owner looking at taking their business online have in common?” asks Mrs Solich.  “Both have the potential to be confused about which pathway to take to get them to their destination by the quickest and most economical route.  This seminar is all about demonstrating the pros and cons of taking your business online and helping businesses to better understand how they can promote themselves online.”
