Fort Worth Marketing Firm Assists Area Businesses in Using Social Media in Preparation for Holidays

Oct. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- Randy and Donny Vaughn, The Marketing Twins at 1429 Creative, announce their upcoming social media strategy seminar at the NRH Public Library on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at Noon.

In July, a similar seminar was presented at the NRH Library, with over 25 business owners participating.  “I am just in the new start-up phase of developing both my network and product/service," said Donelle Abrahamson of Irving-based Stewardship Business Consultant and one of the 25 participants. "This information was vital and could not have come at a better time."  

The seminar teaches participants how to incorporate a comprehensive social media strategy, focusing not only on specific tools, but on a systematic use of social media based on a proven marketing foundation.   All of these tools can be used to help promote a business as customers prepare for the upcoming holiday shopping season and 2010.

"Looking at the full room we had in July and September, we know we are hitting on a topic that business people know they need to understand," said Randy Vaughn, Creative Director. "Social media can be exciting and effective.  It can also be done poorly which is usually based on a poor marketing foundation which we address in our seminar."  The seminar discusses the incorporation of podcasting, webcasting, blogging, videos, photos, online reviews, email marketing, article marketing, online news releases, and social networking sites like Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook.  Randy is also Fort Worth's only Duct Tape Marketing authorized coach.  

The Marketing Twins are hosting this free seminar at noon in hopes to attract small business owners in the Mid-Cities area.  "Making this seminar available during the lunch hour will make it possible for business owners to attend during the day if they have not been able to attend one of our past evening seminars," said Donny Vaughn, Solutions Director.  "We are even offering an optional light lunch for only $5 so it's a win-win for everyone!  We just ask that everyone register online at our website so we can plan for food."   Registration for this event can be found at http://www.marketingtwins.com/upcoming.

The FREE seminar is Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at Noon at the NRH Library.  Again, online registration is strongly encouraged:  http://www.marketingtwins.com/upcoming
