Getting your business Facebook ready for 2010!

“We are just beginning to scratch the surface of integrating many social media tools into our core business processes. However, one thing is clear: in today's highly competitive world, integration with valuable resources such as Facebook & Twitter is an important part of your overall social media strategy.” - Joel Comm
Facebook is rapidly becoming a part of daily life for millions of South Africans. The number of South Africans using the platform is growing quickly and almost half of online South Africans use Facebook. Early in November we were rated No. 4 in the top 10 fastest growing Facebook countries. It's the second most trafficked site in the country, with Google being first.
This is a huge opportunity for your business! Here is why: your business can have a presence on the second most trafficked site in SA and in the world!
We are very excited to present this full-day workshop which is designed to teach you the ins & outs of Facebook & Twitter for business. Once you have a good understanding of these platforms you will be able to use it effectively for your business. Creating a buzz and awareness around you. As this will be a hands-on programme we strongly suggest you bring your laptop.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID WHO HAVE ATTENDED PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS PRESENTED BY SOCIAL MEDIA IQ:
“I can definitely recommend this to everyone and anyone who still feel a bit overwhelmed by social media. Additionally, there are definite business benefits to invest time in understanding this world better. Peter and Lisa is very knowledgeable and their positive attitudes are contagious ;-) This was excellent!”
Rianette, Owitz PR
“Thanks so much for the fabulous day yesterday. I've been on Facebook and Twitter since I woke up! It's so exciting to see what technology and social media can do for my business.”
Kirsten, The Virtual PA
“I took away a lot more than I bargained for at the Social Media IQ workshop. Not only is it informing and inspiring but really thought provoking in a sense that "business per usual" has become "business unusual". The tools you provided me with will definitely add some *pOw* to my game!”
Nicky, ActionCoach
“If you are a small business, or a professional, I would highly recommend attending the Social Media IQ course on Social networking - It is hands on and practical and you will walk away from it with a good understanding of how to be part of this exciting environment!”
Tracy, Fin24
“I attended the Social Media IQ Workshop this week and was flattened by the amount of valuable information shared by Lisa and Peter! I thought I knew a lot about Facebook already, and hadn't really embraced the concept of Twitter as a business communication tool, but feel well equipped now to utilise both media to promote my business and keep interested parties involved. I can highly recommend to invest the time and money to attend to anyone who wants to stay, or get, on top of these technologies.”
