A free workshop and networking event to help local business owners understand social media tools Facebook, Twitter, e-mail marketing, LinkedIn and blogs, and how they can all work together, will be held in the Chandelier Room at Santa Anita Park from 8:30 a.m. – 12 noon on Thursday, Sept. 22.
Santa Anita Park is sponsoring the event for local business owners and Chamber of Commerce members that is created and led by Facebook and Internet marketing training experts HUTdogs. HUTdogs will also teach a workshop on Facebook and how it can work with other social media tools.
A panel of social media experts and enthusiasts as well as representatives from Constant Contact, SCORE and Yelp will share ideas and be availabe to answer questions. Participants will also be offered an exclusive tour of the iconic horse race track and facilities.
“When Santa Anita Park asked if we’d help them do something for the local chambers and business owners, we were thrilled,” says MJ Finstrom, Chief Creative at HUTdogs. “Social media can be confusing for small business owners. We enjoy sharing knowledge, facilitating wisdom and bringing business people together to exchange ideas about social media. It will be a valuable morning of networking, learning and a little horsing around!”
