Win business using Digital & Social Media, Conor Lynch Workshop

July 6th, 2012 Billy No comments

Presented by Conor Lynch of SocialMedia.ie & sponsored by Celtar business consultants

 

We are delighted to again partner with Conor Lynch of SocialMedia.ie and Bossmetrics to offer this up-to-date training on Wednesday 26th of September in central Dublin.

Award winning Conor Lynch describes the workshop and what it offers,

“The aim is to provide you with the practical tools and techniques to create your own digital and social media marketing strategy for your business. During this hands-on training workshop, we start to co-create a digital and social media marketing plan based on your unique business position. Effective use of digital & social media will reduce your marketing costs and deliver positive results in terms of new income and new customers.”

“Effective use of social media is a must for any business,” comments Celtar consultant Billy Linehan. “We recognize the need of many business owners to grasp this particular nettle and not get left behind. Every week I meet business owners who are unsure of how to deploy the digital marketing weapon. They know enough to set up sites and accounts on different platforms, but it is the next step where they struggle – how to make it worth while for the business. And that is what this workshop is about.”

Both local and international case studies with stories of success and failure will be covered, emphasising how you can succeed and improve your business through utilising digital and social media tools.

Location: The Digital Depot, Thomas Street, Dublin 2, (part of the Digital Hub campus)

Date & time: 9.30 – 1.30 , Wednesday 26th of September, 2012

Cost: €95

Doing business in Ireland

April 26th, 2012 Billy No comments

 New curated blog from Celtar business consultants

 

www.scoop.it/t/doing-business-in-ireland

 

I launched this blog a few months ago, with the objectives 

 - of providing news on Irish business

- and as a useful & constructive information point on doing business in Ireland

More specifically, the new blog is about doing business from Ireland as much as in Ireland. For example, the export activities of many Irish firms are highlighted.

Stories on exporting, FDI (foreign direct investment), business support (Enterprise Ireland and other agencies) a little economics and features on Celtar, our clients and business partners – are all included.

Often additional comments are made on published stories.

What is a curated blog?

A curated blog is made up of content aggregated from a variety of sources; other blogs, Twitter, YouTube, websites, Facebook etc.

Probably the best known Irish curated blog is the news blog http://storyful.com  .

A curated blog can have  ‘followers’ just like other social media platforms. And stories may be tagged.

Social media curation tool, www.Scoop.it  review

The Scoop.it tool is easy to use. Posts can be selectively shared with Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook – which is a great facility for me. I use the free edition. There is more functionality available with the professional version.

Feedback

One comment from a reader “it is a useful resource for catching up on business stories I may have missed from the papers, net or radio”. Your feedback is welcome.

Next

We are planning with Conor Lynch and his team at SocialMedia.ie  to provide training in ‘Winning business with Digital Marketing’. Date and venue to be announced next week, (venue will be central Dublin, dates in late May and early June).

This will be an update on the successful training we sponsored with SocialMedia.ie last year.

PS For another view. Karlin Lillington, the writer on the technology zeitgist who I often read, has written an opinion article on “curating”, see it here http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2012/0426/1224315193921.html    And of course I have “curated” the article ………
