The Social Buzz Club will be designed to "spread the word" for Chamber businesses. Those that choose to dedicate their time to this endeavor will reap results that far outweigh their time investment. The key to success in The Social Buzz Club is to attend each gathering with the mindset that your sole purpose in participating is to promote the businesses of the other members, without a thought as to promoting your own business. FEBRUARY AGENDA:What's all the Buzz about this month?This month, the Social Buzz Club will be learning about website trends for 2017. Whether you use social media or Google Adwords, getting traffic to your site is pointless if your website is created to turn leads into customers. Guest speaker Nikki Bisel will speak about the things you must have on your website to make it profitable at our next Social Buzz Club meeting at 8 am on Tuesday, February 14th at the Chamber Office. Nikki is the owner of owner of Seafoam Media, named one of STL's 2016 Best Website Designers in St. Louis, a West County Chamber member and designer of the new West County Chamber website!Register today. Space is limited and seats will fill fast.Each member will be assigned “Buzz Buddies” for 1 month.Each member’s goal will be to fully understand the services, products and/or goals of their “Buzz Buddies.” Each member will be responsible for monitoring their “Buzz Buddies” social media sites for important, interesting, and/or educational content. As appropriate, each member will share, comment on, tag friends in, etc. the content of their “Buzz Buddies.” Each member’s “Buzz Buddies” will be doing the same for member, thus the reward of growing your business’ reach organically to customers all across the area, the nation and the world.You may be asking - How can I participate if I am not confident in my social media skills? Members will be paired according to their level of social media competency/presence. Those members with a higher understanding of and proficiency in social media will act as mentors to those that need some guidance. Each meeting will include a portion of time dedicated to educating the group on a social media platform.We are also considering an optional “hands on” workshop for those that need additional education in this area to be productive members of the group. Overall, The Social Buzz Club will educate you on maintaining social media platforms for your business. The group will support you with continuing education and through sharing your business across social media platforms. And, the group will connect you with other Chamber members and connect you to a larger networking of potential customers. Let’s get busy with the Social Buzz Club!!...
