On August 12, 13 and 14, the Chamber will host three days of classes and consultations focusing on improving your marketing skills. “Elevating Your Marketing Skills: Bigger, Better and Bolder” will consist of three days of training in the areas of digital marketing. The first day, Bigger, will be dedicated to websites, Google Business Platforms, SEO and key words, online advertising and more. The second day, Better, will be devoted to social media work: the social media platforms, boosting your ads, videos, reels and the latest in rules and regulations. The third day, Bolder, will focus on AI and ChatGPT. How can these platforms help you in your business? What time-saving tricks can you learn by using these functions?
All classes will be offered twice a day, at 9am and 1pm and classes will run for 1 ½ hours. A free 30 minute consultation with one of the facilitators is included in signing up for the classes. This is a great opportunity to work with them one-on-one and discuss any problems or strategies that you may have.
Elevating Your Digital Marketing Skills is free to Chamber members and only $25 per class for non-members. To sign up for the class, visit www.pagosachamber.com and click on the Digital Marketing graphic. There is limited space and several classes are already full. If you have trouble registering, contact the Chamber to get assistance with registration or to be placed on a waiting list.
Also, if you would like to schedule an appointment with one of the trainers, you will need to call the chamber to book your day and time slot. Please call (970) 264-2360 for more information or to schedule your appointment. We are pleased to be offering these classes as these topics have been highly requested by our members. Digital Marketing is changing all the time and at a rapid pace. Let us help you make the most of your digital marketing efforts and improve the way you market your business.
