Have your sales gone to the dogs? Check out UCSB's new Social Media Marketing class!
Have your sales gone to the dogs? Did you know:
- You can use social media as a low-cost marketing tool to engage new customers and retain current one?
- You can use popular social media platforms like blogs and facebook to gain a competitive edge in this tough economy?
And WMT’s Lorrie Thomas and Emilia Doerr can show you how in a new class offered at UCSB Extension in Santa Barbara, California.
Whether it’s blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter, social platforms are doing more than driving buzz; they are driving purchasing decisions across the world. As social networks grow, their power to shape consumer conversations and amplify word-of-mouth chatter is on the rise.
This course will explore techniques for employing social media as a marketing tool, and present ways to develop strategy. Learn to create a powerful voice in this “influence economy,” where anyone with an opinion (we’re talking about you!) can affect great change.
UCSB Extension offers continuing education via evening and weekend courses to students, professionals, business owners and anyone looking for professional training, career advancement, or a practical education to help boost their business.
