With so many people across Dubai and the wider UAE now offering social media training sessions, workshops and seminars, you now have an abundance of choice when it comes to finding the right session for you.
Before you make your decision, there are a couple of key points you need to think about:
1. How much time do you have available – can you spare a full day, a half day, or do you only have a few hours? The more time you can invest in the right session, the more benefits you can potentially reap…
2. What experience does the trainer/facilitator have? Have they worked in your industry? Do they have certain specialities or are they more generalist? What is your focus going forward and are they likely to have insights that can benefit you?
3. What size are the sessions? Generally speaking smaller groups will have more interaction and more opportunities for you to ask your questions, which might be more limited in a larger group.
4. Does the session outline cover what you are looking for? Are you looking for input on specific platforms, or across the board? Are there major problem or unknown areas that you would like support with? Is the training pitched at the right level for you?
5. The price. Often the deciding factor – don’t let it be the only thing you base your choice on. Remember, more often than not, you get what you pay for. Think about this as professional development and an investment into your business for the future, then think about what you would be prepared to pay.
With all this in mind, we are running our monthly social media workshop on Thursday 28th November 9am-12pm at Brambles, Al Barsha. In one morning session, we’ll be sharing our top tips for posting effective and engaging content across multiple channels, efficiently. We’ll introduce you to our preferred platform for scheduling content in advance, and monitoring key words and messages from one simple and easy-to-use dashboard. We’ll also discuss effective strategies and measurement of social media, and brainstorm effective content and campaigns.
This three hour investment costs AED 249, including coffee and breakfast and should set you up for social media success! If it sounds like this could be the session for you, please email us sam@footstepcommunications.com for more information or to register!
