What is Social Networking and How Can You Use It to Promote Your Company?
Like elves at the North Pole, social networking seems to be everywhere. Starting a few years ago with college students and now proliferating into the masses, networking sites, blogs, and aggregators are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to reaching the newest batch of working professionals.

Use social networking to expand your marketing plan to potential buyers who can't be reached through traditional advertising channels. In the Bonus Webinar we'll show you the basics of using blogs and social networking sites (like Facebook and Ning) as new marketing tools for promoting your participation in IMTS 2008, as well as a year- round tool.
