Grow your Business through Social Media

The next business session will be held at the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre in Mooroopna in October. The various locations of the business events give the opportunity for residents and business owners from nearby towns to attend.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Sustainable Development Johann Rajaratnam said “Businesses, big or small, are realising the massive benefits of social media marketing and its increasing importance in the race to stay relevant and attract new customers.”

“Long gone are the days when the secretary was the first point of contact between an organisation and the outside world. The role is being replaced by websites and social media profiles,” said Mr. Rajaratnam.

Business owners new to social media marketing might believe that a few blog posts, daily, random status updates, and a lot of “followers” and “likes” are going to grow their business. The truth is this actually takes real planning and dedication.

“Proficient online marketers know that in order to make the most of the power of social media you need to incorporate a deliberate mixture of listening to your audience, sharing your relevant message and enabling others to share your relevant message.”

With Christmas around the corner, this is a great opportunity for business owners to learn more about how they can market their business for this busy period.

Damien “Will” Willoughby is a local digital marketing expert and social media coach and you can hear first-hand from him on how you can grow your business through digital and social media.
