Grow Your Business Online

Although a majority of companies (and individuals) are still into traditional media when it comes to promoting their products and services, it can no longer be denied that online is the wave of the (near) future. Specially here in the Philippines, where we currently rank among the top 10 countries (according to checkfacebook.com) based on the number of FB users worldwide, more and more businesses are establishing their online presence either for branding purposes or for sales. But the efforts must not end there.

Beyond having a presence in Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites, is the need to engage your customers to make them loyal fans and to provide not just information but customer experience through co-creation. How do you build your business using social network marketing? How do you also turn your passion into a business through the powerful world of blogging and make people seek you out from amongst the clutter?

BusinessWorld, in cooperation with Mansmith & Fielders, Inc., presents Marketing Rescue on Friday, September 2, 2011, 1 to 5 pm (registration starts at 12 noon), at the Topaz Room of the Penthouse of Midas Hotel, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
