Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau
Social Media Conference: October 29
Don’t Be Anti-Social
The proper and effective use of
Social Media can build community,
conversation and relationships
with your current and prospective
customers, as well as people who
can influence buying decisions.
However, getting started in the
social media world can be an
intimidating experience. To help,
the Emporia Area Chamber
welcomes public relations and
social media practitioner Alex
Greenwood for a daylong seminar
on Wednesday, October 29.
Greenwood will present Don’t
Be Anti-Social! Strategies to Use
Social Media for the Benefit of
Your Business. During the seminar
Greenwood, owner and principal
of AlexanderG Public Relations in
Kansas City (assisted by account
executive Noah Smith) will share
information about social media
tools and real-world examples of
ways his firm uses social media to
enhance the reputation, revenue
growth and productivity of his
clients, firm and self.
Besides being a social media
consultant, Greenwood is a small
business owner who shuns what
he describes as the “smarty pants”
attitude of many social media trainers.
“As a small business owner, I
prefer learning from people with
real-world, commonsense ways
social media helps--and sometimes
not helps,” Greenwood said.
“That’s what we will present at the
seminar from a fellow business
owner. It’s a jargon-free, userfriendly presentation that doesn’t
talk down to the audience.”
This daylong event will include
a morning seminar covering
the basics of most social media
platforms to help you determine
which are right for your business.
The afternoon session will be
a “rookie’s guide to LinkedIn,”
including best practices that
will assist first-timers and more
seasoned LinkedIn user ̸) ɕ
