Small business owners are invited to attend a free seminar on Introduction to Social Media on August 7, 2014 from 10 am to 12 pm. The session will be held at the UTPA Starr County Campus, located at 138 N. FM 3167 in Rio Grande City.
The “Introduction to Social Media” seminar covers basic & advanced strategies as well as tools for small businesses.
“Most business owners are familiar with social media and may already have a social presence online but few entrepreneurs understand how social networking ties into an existing marketing strategy. Much like print or radio ads, social media marketing must also be in line with existing branding efforts. This is important to know when planning campaigns and measuring results and especially when allocating marketing resources within a company “says Balde Morales, a Business Advisor with the UTPA Small Business Development Center.
Pre-registration is required to secure a seat. To register for this seminar, please contact the UTPA Small Business Development Center at (956) 665-7535 or the RGV Hispanic Chamber at 928-0060.
Both the RGVHCC and SBDC focus on getting businesses prepared and funded to open their doors. The UTPA Small Business Development Center, partially funded by the US Small Business Administration and The University of Texas-Pan American, is a component of the UTPA Business Development & Innovation (BDI) Group and seeks to promote economic growth and business development in the Rio Grande Valley. It does so by offering confidential one-on-one counseling, assistance in business plan development, and business training on a variety of business topics. Its main office is located at the UTPA CESS Building, 1407 E. Freddy Gonzalez Drive, Suite 1.200, in Edinburg.
