NMC Presents: Social Media Boot Camp, Tuesday, Oct. 25!
In my line of work, my colleagues and I have to stay on top of the latest trends in marketing and PR. One tool that is proving increasingly more important is social media. While I make sure that my employees and I are up to date on the latest technologies, I run into far too many other business owners who aren’t sure how to use social media or don’t use it to its full capacity.
For this reason, I am very excited to share that the Greater Franklin Development Corporation and NMC have decided to partner up and show other Maine businesses and organizations that not only is social media multi-faceted, but that anyone can and should use it!
Tuesday, Oct. 25, several of my staff members and I will be presenting a social media boot camp at the Carrabassett Valley Public Library from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
This interactive workshop will focus on techniques to increase engagement and the use of paid online advertising to promote products and services through social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. We will also be discussing the rise of mobile marketing and location-based media. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop, but laptops can be provided (please specify if you need one when you register).
To qualify for this workshop, we ask that participants are able to answer yes to the following questions:
- Do you have a personal Facebook profile already set up?
- Do you have a LinkedIn profile set up?
- Do you have a Twitter account set up?
- Are you familiar with Facebook advertising?
- Are you familiar with Cost per Click advertising?
Cost to participate is $150.00 (includes materials and computer use).
For more information and to register, please contact Shelby Childs at schilds@greaterfranklin.com or call (207) 778-5887.
I hope to see you there!
The Joy of Reading

(Thanks to Eric Chamberlin at Carrabassett Valley Academy for sharing this quote as part of the school’s daily report.)
This past weekend, I wasn’t feeling well. I had a cough and a lingering cold, and I had no energy at all. So I laid in my bed and read books.
Now, just so you know, I’m a sporadic reader. Typically my days are so busy that I don’t sit down to read for pleasure. When I try to read before I go to sleep at night, I typically fall asleep. I read newspapers and magazines each day, but mostly for my profession. I need to stay on top of the news, and which journalists are writing about which topics. Continue reading
