Two weeks ago we gave you a quick preview of what’s in store for attendees of the Search Marketing Expo Conference in Toronto, Ontario. But if you want to dig deep and learn more than what can be presented in 15 minutes, you need to come early for the workshops.
Do your sales and marketing teams need to integrate social media into the mix? Have you established a social media presence, but you still struggle with generating content that customers really want to connect with?

Learn how social marketing differs from the traditional sales funnel model.
Forget everything you ever learned about conversion funnels and traditional online marketing when thinking about social (media) marketing. When it comes to social marketing you can’t simply expect customers to flow seamlessly through a series of steps as if being pulled by gravity as funnel analysis implies. It’s time to embrace the concept of getting your customers to walk or run up the down escalator of social marketing.
Understanding how each social platform works is only the beginning. This workshop will help you see the synergy that happens with social connections across your website, blog, and various social platforms. Throughout this intense day you will not only get the view from 20,000 feet, but you’ll put your hands to work on the areas that matter most to your brand and understand how to measure the true returns on your social media investments. This is an experience where learning takes action.
Early Bird Registration discounts for the workshops have been extended until February 1st, but space is limited, so reserve your seat before they are all gone.
