• Creating a strategic social media plan

• Developing social media content that engages your audience and motivates them to reshare
• Taking advantage of Facebook's advanced features for Page admins

• Monitoring social media accounts and responding to customers effectively
• Using paid ads and promoted posts to target and reach new fans
  
• Tracking and measuring engagement
• Transforming customers into loyal, enthusiastic fans
  

This class will focus mostly on Facebook, since that's the biggest chunk of the social media audience these days, but will touch on the other key social sites as well, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, and more.

A few other notes:

— Late Bar doesn't open till 9pm on Tuesdays, so we'll have the space to ourselves during classtime.

— Late Bar has Wi-Fi, so you're welcome to bring a laptop, tablet, or mobile device to follow along with the instructor's demonstrations online if you want.

— One of Late Bar's friendly bartenders will be present so you can order coffee, soft drinks, bottled water, and other beverages during the class.

— This class will be limited to about 12 participants maximum, so if you're interested, register soon!
