Description
Make your newsletters and social media presence more effective, more persuasive – and more profitable
Email marketing can be an effective tool in spreading the word and building your customer base. Or it can sit, unread, in each potential customer's spam folder. Similarly, social media can be a great way to engage with clients and build a community – or be so annoying it drives them away.
Digital marketing expert John W. Hayes can help you access the goldmine of customer data and product knowledge your business has already accumulated, and use it to maximise the potential of your online communications. This easy-to-follow evening shows you how to convert your existing knowledge into effective, persuasive social media and email marketing strategies that will enhance your reputation; make your business responsive to your customers' needs and wants, and increase your profitability. You'll learn both how to build cost-effective social campaigns, and create content that your audience will find clickable and shareable.
This course is for you if...
- You run a SME and want to maximise the impact of your digital marketing, without paying for consultants to do it for you
- You're an aspiring entrepreneur devising a launch strategy for your startup
- You work for a charity or NGO and are looking for new ways to engage support
- You're a business or marketing student looking to see how professionals really operate
- You're a sales professional looking for new ideas and leads
