Connerty's North Woods Inn to host Internet Marketing Workshops for businesses in the Adirondacks

Connerty’s North Woods Inn initiates series of Internet Marketing Seminars

“Twitter for Business and Pleasure” is the title of the first in a series of hands-on marketing workshops to be held Friday, June 5th from 10:30 am- 1:00 pm at the North Woods Inn on Rte. 28 in Old Forge. Participants are requested to bring a laptop and a downloadable photograph of themselves in order to submit a profile and begin to use both Twitter and the many downloadable applications that make “Tweeting” more enjoyable and efficient.

Twitter is the fastest growing free “social network” site in the world. Individuals create a unique profile and share bite-size pieces of information about themselves to other members of the website. It offers wonderful opportunities for direct marketing to potential new visitors to the Adirondacks and educating the Twittersphere on the beauty and uniqueness of what many are now calling the “Twitterondacks.” It’s highly social… and as one exchanges information with individuals from all of the world, word-of-mouth reputation (and current information about your business) can spread at breathtaking speed.

The High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid is filling formerly-empty mid-week rooms with their marketing efforts on Twitter.

The Adirondack Tourism Bureau has used Twitter this spring to forward live photos of whitewater stream conditions to a caller from NJ from someone actually kayaking the stream in question!

But “it’s not easy,” admits the CEO of Twitter, Evan Williams. It really takes a great deal of knowledge of other web-based applications, such as “Tweetdeck” or “Twibes” to put Twitter to good use for marketing.

With that in mind, this hands-on workshop is designed to power start local businesses by helping each download, set up and actually begin to use these web-based applications, as well as discuss and learn suitable approaches designed to fit each individual business.

The workshop, led by Catherine Light of Blue Line by Design, will begin promptly at 10:30 am. Registrants must each bring a laptop and a downloadable photograph of themselves. Pre-registration is due by June 2nd. The $35 fee for the workshop includes lunch; space is limited to 45 participants.
