Business Before Breakfast - Instagram
2023-05-03 08:30 - 09:30 | Virtual, United States
Instagram as a marketing tool for your small business…
Just think about the massive amounts of new products and services you’ve likely discovered on Instagram through paid social media ads or friends tagging brands you’ve never heard of in their posts. Of course, social media connects us, but what’s difficult is getting those connections to your most important business assets–your customers.
At the same time, we know creating, managing, and maintaining an Instagram account is daunting. It takes significant time and consideration to make it work and drive sales.
With more than 25 million businesses actively using Instagram to market to their target audience, it’s easy to see why so many people use the app to shop. In today’s instant-access retail world, shoppers want visual content to help them make buying decisions.

FROM CONCEPT TO CLOSE
Master the art of an effective Capability Statement and a Perfect Pitch
Why is a Capability Statement important:
This document is the key to building relationship with important decision-makers in receiving contracts, it provides companies with a concise description of the goods and services your business can provide, and a consistent reminder of your firm.
Why is a Perfect Pitch important:
Pitching is the act of presenting an idea to an audience, in a persuasive way. There are many different types of pitch from sales pitches to funding pitches, to pitching yourself in an interview, but the aim is always the same: to persuade others to see the benefits of you, your product or idea, and to buy into it.
