A morning of social goodness

gicela — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:59:21 +0000

The Cider Café launch event was a successful morning with a great group of people where we all had something to ask and share. One of the highlights of the morning was a chat with Antony Scott who came to visit on behalf of the Strawberry Line Cafe, a local project that needs plenty of community support. Social Media is already playing an important role on the project and we are looking forward to it gaining more momentum over the coming months.

Listen to what Antony told us about the Straveberry Line Project

Welcome to the Social Media Cider Café

gicela — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:35:04 +0000

We created the Social Media Cider Café to help local businesses and charities in the South West build an understanding of social media and a space to ask any questions they may have to make the business case for embracing it.

The event is free and informal, and you should feel comfortable asking anything you want – for example: what is social media? How can I use it to engage with my customers? Where do I start if I want to create and promote my blog? Is Facebook relevant to my organisation? And do I need to ‘tweet’?

You may already have a pretty good idea of what you want to achieve, but there are times when you wish you could just ask about something in particular with someone face-to-face. The Social Media Cider Café is the perfect environment for you to ask your questions and help you along the journey you need to make to use and understand the tools that are now available to you.

The sessions are designed to give you one-to-one time. After the initial session, if you wish to build a social media strategy around your products or services, of course we will be delighted to help. But we will not be calling you; it is entirely up to you.

If you know anyone who might benefit from this service, do get in touch.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we would love to hear from you after you have attended one of our sessions.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meet up.
