HAMMOND – The Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC) at Southeastern
Louisiana University will host a free workshop Tuesday, Feb. 14, in Mandeville titled
“Drive New Business with Social Media.”
Scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m., the workshop will be held in the David C. Treen
Instructional Technology Center – Conference Center, located at 2024 Livingston St.
The program is co-sponsored by St. Tammany Economic Development Foundation, Northshore
SCORE and the St. Tammany West Chamber of Commerce and will focus on the use of social
media to drive more new and repeat business for organizations.
“You know you should be on social media for your business or non-profit, but
do you know why?” asked Sandy Summers, assistant director of the Small Business Development
Center. “Do you know which social media platform will have the biggest band for your
buck? And when you start your profile, do you know what to say and how to grow your
following?”
Summers said the session will answer those questions and more. Participants will
be able to determine the platform that’s right for them and their organization; announce
their presence and build a network; create and share content that encourages action;
understand social media advertising and learn about options; and convert social media
leads.
Guest speaker for the event is Kim Walker of 5 Stones Media in Hammond.
Participation is only guaranteed for pre-registered attendees. For more information
