Northern Midlands Business Association coordinated a free breakfast for local business people on July 12, along with an informative session on social media basics, delivered by Taihlaura Denman-Francis of Kingthing Marketing, on behalf of the Tasmanian Government’s Digital Ready Program.
During the session, attended by 15 local business owners and stakeholders, various topics were covered, and individual businesses assisted on how to make the most of social media.
Some of the key messages were around the importance of being on social media, the top platforms and when to use them, content ideas and how and when to schedule posts on social media and tips for increasing followers and engagement.
For small business owners interested in further learning, the Digital Ready program offers one-on-one consultations for four hours per calendar year.
Additionally, the program’s website provides a free eight-part training course in social media that can be completed at your own pace.
Northern Midlands businesses should book these sessions as soon as possible, as they are booked out until August and Tasmanian Government funding for the program currently expires at the end of 2023.
