Making the Most of Your Facebook Page Webinar

Presented by Technology in the Arts

So you have a facebook page. Now what? 

You've probably heard a lot about Facebook in the media this past year, and you may have a lot of unanswered questions. You may be hesitating taking the plunge, for a variety of reasons - it takes too much time or loss of brand control, for example.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

• Why you should consider creating a Facebook presence for your arts organization, even you already have a great web site or blog, even if you’re using other social media tools like Twitter.
• Why your organization may be invisible even to fans of your Facebook page, and what to do about it.
• Why it’s important to engage with your Facebook fans — beyond the usual clichés about ‘conversation’ — and how to do it.
• What is a ‘landing tab’ and why it gives you an advantage.
• How it’s possible for even the smallest organizations to use Facebook applications like contests and advertising without breaking the bank.

Participants in this webinar will also receive $25 off registration for the online course “Facebook Contests for Arts Organizations.”
