102: Branding your Business. February 25th
Your branding determines the impression people get of who you are and whether they want to do business with you. During the class you will determine your next step for creating a recognizable brand that communicates clearly with your customers. During this workshop, you will have a guide to help you determine what the personality of your business is and what colors, fonts, and words best represent it. Having your own laptop would be beneficial, but not required.

Social Media for business can be exhausting or exhilarating. Several Online tools are designed to make staying active on social media more possible, even for a sole owner/operator who doesn?t have an entire department dedicated to marketing. In this workshop you will briefly compare the social media platforms  FB, TW, IG, LI, and the best practices of interactions... while saving your sanity. We will guide you through setting up a free publishing tool account and scheduling your first post. Bringing a laptop is recommended to get the most out of the presentation. (Buffer, planoly)
