Social media marketing is both a challenging and unparalleled opportunity right now. How do you grow your following, your business and your connections without appearing too sales-y, insensitive, or inauthentic? In this one time live Zoom workshop we'll tackle timely and timeless strategies for a social media marketing strategy that's effective, efficient, and authentic. We'll focus especially on wayfinding - making sure customers know how to "find" you. There will be ample time for questions. If you can't make the live Zoom workshop, a replay will be available after the workshop.

Geared towards small businesses but useful for artists, dreamers, hobbyists, non-profits and advocates. Register by May 15 for a chance to be used as an example in the workshop! Scholarships may be available. Space is limited. Registration ends May 22 at 10am so there is time to send you the Zoom link.

Regular ticket price: $50

Sign up before May 5 and I'll donate 20% of your ticket price to Feed253!

Testimonial for a previous workshop:
“Allison's directed and practical advice gave me the tools I needed to authentically connect with my community both online and in person through the free resources on social media. I've made so many personal connections through the network I've been able to build using her strategies centered around giving back to my community. I highly recommend her class to anyone looking to authentically engage with their online networks in a way that doesn't consume their time, energy, or capital.”

Join Allison Bishins Consulting for a live, virtual workshop on Using Social Media to Find Local Customers and Build Community. Space is limited to 10 attendees, and attendees WILL be able to view the workshop afterwards if they are unable to attend live. The workshop starts with an overview on why - and how - to use social media (Instagram and Facebook, primarily) as a LOCAL tool, even if you don't consider yourself to be a local-focused business. How do you find customers that are near you? How do you create a local support network via these online tools?

Special community thank-you price through April 15: $20
Regular ticket price: $40

Register here: https://www.allisonbishins.com/register/localworkshop

As a very special thank you, you can add on the in-depth Finding Local Customers on Social Media workbook to your order for just $15 (retail $49.) Attendees get a discount to make the workbook half off so pre-purchasing is a steal!

This workshop is open to all types of business owners, advocates, entrepreneurs, non-profits, dreamers, etc. This course is not an introduction to social media, but as long as you know how to post on Instagram and Facebook, this training will be helpful! Please note this is a not a slide-heavy webinar, it's a class taught by me with time for questions! There will be approximately 15 minutes of question time built into the workshop. Please arrive on time! We'll start with everyone introducing themselves - this helps me know what examples to give!

Have kids at home with you or a noisy background? No worries - just keep yourself muted or turn off your video. The day before the workshop you will be sent a Zoom meeting link.

Scholarships may be available. Email inquiries to allisonbishins@gmail.com.

Get over your social media "overwhelm" and learn how to boost your business on social media. A good social media marketing strategy can increase revenue and
- Doesn’t take a lot of time or money
- Survives algorithm changes

The checkout form will ask for your Instagram and Facebook pages because I do advance research on each attendee and give targeted feedback. This course also includes an annotated outline (great for taking notes!) and a 10 point Jump Start PDF to get you started on your new strategy and keep you on track.

Testimonial:
“Like many new business owners, I was overwhelmed by the number of workshops, courses, and networking groups all competing for my investment. As a sole proprietor providing local services, I was not enthusiastic about engaging in social media marketing until I met Allison. Her directed and practical advice gave me the tools I needed to authentically connect with my community both online and in person through the free resources on social media. I've made so many personal connections through the network I've been able to build using her strategies centered around giving back to my community. I highly recommend her class to anyone looking to authentically engage with their online networks in a way that doesn't consume their time, energy, or capital.”

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we just learned that Krista will not be able to join us on Saturday. I (Ali) will still be hosting the workshop, but it will be a little different. We'll start off talking about how we unintentionally build in efficiencies into our days, and how we can overcome that. We will have plenty of time for discussion on that topic and then we'll do one medium size Nurture Group (approx 8-9 women) where we will get to know each other and learn how we can help each other thrive. This is my favorite part - I am a master brainstormer so I love to hear about your challenges!

Everyone registered will be emailed and given the opportunity to stay registered, or get a refund, roll over their registration to another Allison Bishins event in the next 3 months. I hope that many of you will still join me and dive deeply into how our purpose + priorities can help overthrow inefficiency.

We'll still have treats!

AND because we'll have just one Nurture Group registration will end at 9am (still no door sales but you can sign up on your phone right before you check in.)

If you are purchasing a ticket on your phone, add to cart, and then scroll to the top of that same page and click the cart icon. Sorry for the clunky mobile checkout!

Open to all womxn (self-identifying females, cis + trans), non-binary folx + their allies. Questions or feedback? Email allisonbishins@gmail.com
