KOSBE Kicks Off Three-Part Webinar Series – Tapping Into the Power of Social Media
Business owners are scrambling to keep their heads above water during the pandemic. Neglecting social media and not investing in web site developing and marketing could be the nail in the coffin.
Kingsport, TN, February 12, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Social media may be the last thing business owners want to spend time on during a pandemic, however, it can literally be a lifesaver for some businesses. In partnership with Beyond Engagement, a social media solutions company, KOSBE is releasing a new webinar series to help business owners come out on top in this pandemic. The webinar series addresses three distinct areas: how to sell products on Instagram; how to reach more customers with video and live stream; and how to use social media data and analytics to grow.
Valentina Gonzalez-Escobar is the presenter, and a social media expert with years of online marketing experience in the real world. She said, “There are some things business owners should outsource, like building a web site and marketing strategy development, but there are many things in the social media realm they can do themselves. The information that I will be sharing is something all business owners should know, regardless of who is actually doing the work. If they know this, their money and time will be better spent, and their online presence will be more effective. Everyone will walk away with something they can implement immediately, and it will change how they engage with customers and prospects online.”
The lineup of webinars is as follows:
Wednesday, March 17, 12:00 p.m. Eastern - Part I - How to Sell your Products on Instagram

Thursday, May 6, 12:00 p.m. Eastern - Part II - Reach More Customers with Video and Live Stream

Tuesday, July 13, 12:00 p.m. Eastern - Part III - Learn and Grow your Business from Social Media Intelligence

KOSBE Executive Director, Aundrea Wilcox, had this to say about the new webinar series: “We don’t care how you look during the webinars, we just want you to register and you will see us there. These webinars are so important – especially right now. I am seeing some businesses truly winning during this pandemic, because they have really stepped up their social media and are investing in web site development and marketing. Taking a business online can be complicated and messy. Business owners have been asking me to host a DIY webinar on how to launch eCommerce, but there are hundreds of possible options. It’s not as easy as it may seem. And, even if it is, many times business owners haven’t properly researched application compatibility or implemented search engine optimization successfully. I strongly recommend businesses get a professional involved, to assess their unique situation and move forward with a customized approach suitable for their skills, resources and individual budget. If you have to spend money right now, at least know what you should spend it on, and what you might be able to do yourself.”
While the webinar presenter will be on live video, attendees will not. Attendees can interact via the chat feature by submitting questions during the live presentation. The webinars are free and also open to the public (non-Chamber members are welcome), but registration is required. Business owners are encouraged to invite employees, family members, friends and associates to sign up separately. Each will receive a private link to attend the session via the ZOOM platform. The presentations will be recorded, but only attendees will have access afterward.
