We are thrilled to share videos 11 and 12 of our, “Social Marketing for Today’s Modern World” web series. From learning aboutlaying the foundation and building your online presence, to staging for business success, our hope is that you are feeling confident and comfortable in your social marketing skills.
Our “Events, Webinars, and Other Traditional Media”video breaks down events, both virtual and live, and explains why they drive demand so well and the many different ways to host them. One way to do this is by visiting www.events.oracle.com where you can see all the events Oracle is hosting and, as a Specialized partner, host your own event on our Oracle events page as well.
For more casual events, you can create a post on LinkedIn under your events page or on Facebook. Regardless of how you promote it, don’t forget to ask for sponsors. Watch video 11 below and learn how live events, webinars, and traditional media can compliment your social strategy.
In our next video titled, “Maintaining Momentum”, we review all the Social Marketing techniques that we have learned so far. It is important that they are used together and sustained over time for maximum benefits. It is estimated that you need a consistent marketing campaign for 12 to 18 months to truly see results.
