Well to start... I was promoted to office manager with a $2 raise. Exciting!! Today I had my first experience with Social Marketing. I set up a face book account for one of our clients. Oregon Trail Wagon Train is now a face book member. Face book, A social network, is going to be a great way to promote the business! I plan to keep an eye on the facebook page to see what results we get. This first objective will hopefully be helpful for me as I search to find knowlege in this area.
Im getting ready to build a job description as well for Social Marketers. Hale Multimedia is soon offering positions. So far, skills that I will include are as follows; communication skills, social skills, research skills, and computer skills.
Communication  and social skills are important in social media. You must be able and feel comfortable communicating and socializing with others.  Research and computer skills is also a necessity. Employees will need to know basic computer functions and will need to be aware of how to research for potential clients/customers and new techniques that may be helpful. Those whom wish to be included in our social marketing department will learn about social media marketing as they will go through a training period. Social Media is the ability to communicate and interact with other peole that have similar interest. As i understand it we will be inquiring a Social Media Training Program for this position and there will be a fee.   We have not yet discussed how this training program will work or what the fee will be. However, This should be discussed shortly.
