Marketing Workshops for Local Food with Valentina Escobar-Gonzalez
June 5, 2024 @ 9:00AM ~&~ June 27, 2024 @ 12:00PM
You can boost sales and customer engagement this summer season! Attend one or two fun, free, virtual workshops specifically for local food vendors and farmers. If you sell directly to the public and community and want to learn how to do social media, then this is for you. Instagram will be the focus, as Instagram is getting more engagement from customers and growing at a faster user rate. Whereas Facebook is important, Instagram is where more and more customers are turning to engage with YOU.
These workshops are supported by funding from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service under an RFSP grant award.
101: This workshop will be a basic overview of what everyone would need to successfully run an instagram business page in less than an hour. It will cover briefly hashtags, stories, and geotagging your location leaving you ready to tackle on this platform.
202: This workshop will build on the 101 workshop but dedicate more time in the strategy behind the hashtags, stories, and content creation whether it is for reels, videos, or carousels.
