From Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube, to Instagram, Pinterest and SnapChat, Social Media networks have dominated our cultural landscape. What can businesses and professionals do to tap on to this growing trend? How can one leverage on the power of Social to grow a business? This intensive 2-day Social Media Marketing workshop provides a realistic hands-on setting for beginners to embark on a Social Media Marketing journey.

deepen customer relationships, increase brand awareness, improve public perception and drive sales.

METHODOLOGY

• Quizzes. For long, complicated training, stop periodically to administer brief quizzes on information presented to that point. Begin sessions with a prequiz and let participants know there will also be a follow-up quiz. Trainees will stay engaged in order to improve their prequiz scores on the final quiz. Further this will motivate participants by offering awards to the highest scorers or the most improved scores.
• Small group discussions. Break the participants down into small groups and give them case studies or work situations to discuss or solve. This is a good way for knowledgeable veteran employees to pass on their experience to newer employees.
• Case studies. Adults tend to bring a problem-oriented way of thinking to workplace training. Case studies are an excellent way to capitalize on this type of adult learning. By analyzing real job-related situations, employees can learn how to handle similar situations. They can also see how various elements of a job worktogether to create problems as well as solutions.
• Active summaries. Create small groups and have them choose a leader. Ask them to summarize the lecture’s major points and have each team leader present the summaries to
  the class. Read aloud a prewritten summary and compare this with participants’ impressions.
• Q & A sessions. Informal question- and-answer sessions are most effective with small groups and for updating skills rather than teaching new skills. For example, some changes in departmental procedure might easily be handled by a short explanation by the supervisor,
  followed by a question-and-answer period and a discussion period.
• Question cards. During the lecture, ask participants to write questions on the subject matter. Collect them and conduct a quiz/review session.
• Role-playing. By assuming roles and acting out situations that might occur in the workplace, employees learn how to handle various situations before they face them on the job. Role-playing is an excellent training technique for many interpersonal skills, such as customer service, interviewing, and supervising.
• Participant control. Create a subject menu of what will be covered. Ask participants to review it and pick items they want to know more about. Call on a participant to identify his or her choice. Cover that topic and move on to the next participant.
• Demonstrations.  Demonstrate the steps being taught or the processes being adopted.
• Other activities.
  • Create a personal action plan
  • Paraphrase important or complex points in the lecture
