Do you know how many of your small business members are experts in social media or know nothing about social media?There have been many articles on delivering value to our chamber members.
Delivering value is about solving problems!
Why not start a monthly training session on social media that addresses:
- The pro's and con's of the different platforms chambers are using today (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Blog, YouTube, etc.);
- How to get online and create a content calendar (a previous blog post on Content Rules and be found HERE;
- Measuring outcomes with the likes of Google Analytics, etc.; and
- Share successes and failures of other businesses who have played in the social media sandbox.
These monthly sessions should be great to not only get those members online that are not currently online, but improve the techniques of those already on the Internet to help them grow their businesses.
Find a college student who you can hire once a month (first Friday of the month) to conduct a one hour session over coffee. Be consistent with the same time and venue each month. Whether 10 or 1 show up, you're providing value.
