Your community’s businesses and your clients are on-line and on social media. You must be there too if you are going to reach them, serve them and meet the your objectives as an economic development leader in your community.
Why Participate?

Our Story

We Need To Get People To OGS

We wanted to drive impact by working with clients that had something going on not
“Joe Bag of Donuts”
We Needed to Meet our Goals

In July of 2008 I opened a Twitter account….
And the rest is history!
What To Do?
![Page 11: Asbdc building your center with social media](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555abcc6d8b42ab1128b4873/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

I am not a technical person. I know less about programming and
computers than anyone.
I just know how to push buttons and I have a pretty cool phone.
Anyone Can Do Social Media!
![Page 13: Asbdc building your center with social media](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555abcc6d8b42ab1128b4873/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cool! So What Do We Do?

Social Media is about Building a “community” of
people interested in what you do.
It is about engagement not push sales.
Think Community?
