Area business owners and staff are invited to the Small Business Social Media Summit, scheduled for later this month.

This multi-session workshop is free to the public and is a valuable resource for businesses looking to take their social media to the next level. This event is in partnership with Valley Sierra Small Business Development Center and the City of Turlock.

The summit will take place at Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on Monday, Aug. 29 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and will be led by SBDC consultants Tiffany Phillips, social media expert, and Claudia Newcorn, an award-winning strategic marketer. Doors open at 1 p.m. and attendees are encouraged to come and go as they please. View the full event schedule and sign up at bit.ly/vssmsummit.

“It is so important that business owners have a strategic marketing plan in place that caters to their unique audience. Every business is different. What works for one business doesn’t work for another, especially on social media … 3.5 billion people use social media daily, and so many different platforms to choose from these days,” said Summit speaker Tiffany Phillips. “It’s easy to get overwhelmed as a business owner who has to wear all hats. Our goal from our Small Business Social Media Summit is to make sure business owners truly understand who they are marketing to, how to reach them, and how to be efficient while doing it.”

There will be an additional webinar for businesses who are new to social media. The Social Media 101 webinar will be live on Wednesday, Aug. 17 accessible through social media accounts @valleysierrasbdc.
