Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TripAdvisor – names you’ve probably heard, but do you know how to use these rapidly growing platforms to promote your business and engage with current and potential customers?

This session examines a range of digital marketing options, including social media, email marketing and blogging, to help you understand what would work for your business.

This topic covers:

The best social media platforms to use for your customers
How often to post
In-depth looks at Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and Instagram
Ideas for creating content
An introduction to blogging
Email marketing
Mobile marketing
Understanding review sites

You'll receive a practical workbook that will help you to clarify your digital marketing strategy, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

This session is the ideal starting point if you’re feeling overwhelmed by social media. Or perhaps you’ve set up your Facebook page and aren’t getting the results you expected.

This is an entry level workshop for people with little or no understanding of social media, or for those who are currently only using it in their personal lives.

This workshop is presented by the Small Business Development Corporation, a Western Australian Government agency that helps small business owners to start well, survive and thrive. We offer free resources, business advice and low cost workshops covering what you need to know to boost your chance of business success. Turn to us for free, practical support to help your small business journey run smoothly.
