Most small businesses are the manifestation of a dream. The business owner behind them dreams of being their own boss or selling a service or product in which they truly believe. They might be setting up a home business to supplement a low-paying day job, or they may have seen a gap in the market and took the plunge to plug it with an idea that excites them so much they can barely sleep at night.
Rarely does someone go into business because they want to spend hours figuring out ways to persuade customers to engage with them, buy from them, or even notice them. They want to set out their stall and let the success just happen.
In the real world, it doesn’t work that way. In the real world the most critical skills any business, small, medium-sized or otherwise, can have is their ability to communicate – and that, essentially, comes down to marketing and PR. No matter how original or special a small business’s product or service is, without any marketing and PR efforts they will not succeed.
The reason for this is straightforward. Through marketing and PR your product or service has a chance to be promoted to and discovered by potential clients. Without it, those same clients won’t hear about your business. They won’t be able to purchase what you’re offering, and your business will not be able to make sales and will probably close.

You will learn how and why businesses large and small can use social media marketing to reach and engage with their target markets.
You will discover how social media differs from traditional marketing and PR activities. The course explains how these differences can be utilised to create stronger customer relationships, and how specific, measurable goals can be set and reached. One important difference, which the course covers extensively, is the Consumer Feedback Cycle which can have an impact on the growth of a business and affect change.
Recognising the need to have a social media strategy in place is one thing but creating a targeted, goal-led strategy, is another. The Social Media Marketing Course explains, in detail, how to go about creating an effective content marketing plan and social media strategy, the effectiveness of which you can track, measure and improve.
