How To Get More social This Holiday Season, Instantly
Here’s a gift idea that costs nothing and takes just two minutes. And this one definitely keeps on giving–to your fellow Chamber members.
All of us want to reach more potential customers, right? And many of our businesses have Facebook fan pages with informative content, specials, and more.
Here’s a super-quick way to send a little love around the internet right now.
1. Go to the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce on Facebook.
2. Halfway down the left-hand column, find “LIKES” and click “SEE ALL”
3. Just scan down the list. If you haven’t previously LIKED a page, click on the little thumb and you’re in.
That’s it.
Well, actually, there is one additional Bonus Gift you can give: READ the content and respond. It’s easy: Ask a question, make a comment, share their post on your page…
Remember: We’re all in this together and the more we support each others efforts, the more ground we all gain.
Thank you!

How To Claim Your Business On Facebook Places
Monday, June 27th, 2011
June 22, 2011
Facebook Places is essentially free word-of-mouth advertising for your business. When customers check in, they’ll automatically be telling their Facebook friends about it. If you run a small business with a street entrance, there’s a good chance that it’s already a part of Facebook Places—with or without your input.
By claiming your Page, you have the opportunity to customize that free advertising. It also makes it easy to purchase pay-per-click advertising for your Places page.

Monthly Luncheon – Social Media and the Digital Age
Like it or not, the world today is becoming more and more dependent on the internet. More and more studies indicate that a lot of people make important decisions researching them first online.
Research also indicates that people depend on other people’s experiences to make decisions on products andservices. With the advent of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other such social media, information travels around the world much faster.
Social media can give you credibility to your online visibility (web presence), a better opportunity of being found through search, a premium avenue to provide customer service, and a cheap / effective marketing tool that will bring results if used consistently and correctly.
If you are hesitant to jump on to the internet and social media bandwagon, come find out why you should, or else you might find yourself alone on sidelines as potential customers pass you by on their way to your competitors.

Time: 12:00-1:30pm
Place: Sandy Fire Department Annex Bldg
