As it's latest Existing Business initiative, the Halifax County IDA will be sponsoring a series of free workshops open to all businesses and organizations.  South Boston - Halifax County Tourism and the Halifax County Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsoring the series.  The workshops are being developed to help businesses and organizations use social media more effectively and prepare themselves for the future of marketing.

The workshops, developed and presented by Glerin Business Resources, will kick off at 6pm Tuesday, December 6, in the conference room at Riverstone Centre.  This first workshop will be an overview of the major social media outlets, explaining what each is, how they differ from each other, what they're used for, and how they can be used together in a coordinated way.

In January the series will continue with monthly workshops focusing on a different social media outlet each month.  Stay tuned for more information, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with inquiries.
