Instagram Marketing for Small Businesses

Event description

A great Instagram feed reinforces your brand, supports your marketing message, helps you engage directly and sincerely with your customers, and attracts new, loyal followers! Are you ready to “Level Up” your Instagram for your business?

 

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

1.      Create an effective bio on your Instagram profile

2.      Develop a focused Instagram marketing strategy

3.      Use apps that save you time and improve your Instagram feed

4.      Develop the two most important habits for Instagram marketing success

5.      Navigate the ethics of reposting

6.      Use hashtags, tagging, and more to grow and engage your following

7.      Outsource effectively when it’s time to delegate your Instagram marketing

This isn't about getting a huge number of followers (though that *could* be a result of the effort you put in). Rather, it’s about making sure your *brand* is consistent, that the *message* you’re putting out there on Instagram reinforces your brand, and that the *time* you spend on social media marketing is well-used. By the time we finish you’ll have better tools for making a powerful first impression with Instagram for your business!

Presenter

This workshop is presented by SCORE Business Mentor, Rebecca West. Rebecca is an active business owner and has owned and operated her design firm Seriously Happy Homes since 2007.

This is a free event, but you will have many opportunities to support the festival through cash donations and purchasing drinks from the beer and wine garden! There will be food carts and booths so you won't need to bring any nourishment with you. Bring your own low chair or a blanket. Dogs are discouraged unless they are service animals. No outside alcohol is allowed. Alcohol consumption is allowed for those 21 and over in the beer and wine garden only. We do not allow any umbrellas or tents on the festival grounds since they will block the view of others. Please remember to protect yourself with sunscreen! Get there early to get a good parking spot (street parking only) - or better yet, take public transit to the park!
