Seminar Topic:
How can local businesses use the internet to become more profitable?
“The problem is most small business owners do not realize that their customer pool is online looking for them,” says JC Lamkin, President, Gypsy Lane Technologies and member of the Greater Germantown Business Association. "A quick drive down 8200 through 5100 blocks of Germantown Avenue will result in the realization that our area businesses are quickly folding. But, if you take a cruise on social media websites, you will begin to understand why ... prospective customers are online. These days, it's not just about having a website. It is about connecting with customers, establishing your brand as a leader in your industry and building relationships. Additionally, many business owners don't realize that their customers are online discussing their product and service needs. Social sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are now essential in allowing businesses develop relationships with customers and showcasing their products and services."
Highlights of discussion:
- How do potential customers use the web to look for your products/services?
- How can neighborhood businesses use the internet to become more profitable?
- Should You Market Your Business on the Internet?
- What is Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and should you use them for your business?
