  • The difference between posting and marketing on Facebook.
  • Drive more “likes”, more “shares”, and more business.
  • Plan: Driving repeat business and amplifying word of mouth with a great offer!
  • Publish: Sharing your message easily to stay top-of-mind with others (engage)!
  • Promote: Growing your business and measuring results.

And, we’ll share the 10 best practices that you can do today to supercharge your Facebook marketing and take that word-of-mouth marketing to the next level.  Also, there will also be a quick networking opportunity within the presentation.
