This special AuSAE Workshop is a fantastic way to learn how to use social media to effectively recruit, retain and engage with members. 

Communication in the digital age – is social media the be all and end all? The business world has changed how it communicates, with social media becoming increasingly common. It seems that there is a bright new shiny social media channel or technology every second week. What we need to remember, is that at the heart, nothing should have changed. People still do business with people they know, like and trust. Service excellence and consistency of value are essential to business success. In this workshop Mel will help you understand what is real and what is smoke and mirrors when it comes to effective communication today.

Attend this special one day workshop and learn: 

  • how to be heard by your market and connect with your members so they understand the value of your association
  • strategies to communicate effectively with millennials
  • how to identify the right social media channels for your association
  • why social media is not designed as a sales tool, but is instead intended to build trust and authority
  • how to create and leverage content that your members will value
  • how to effectively use social media in 30 minutes a day
  • how to mitigate your social media risk
  • why you need a social media policy and how to write one that works.

Delegates will be offered ample opportunity to ask questions and engage with other delegates to exchange ideas and information

"Mel has an outstanding level of contemporary knowledge about social media and how it can integrate with traditional marketing. The information she shared on a range of platforms was easily communicated to all our departments and this translated into a seamless integration of social media into C&K. Mel listened to our issues and worked with us to provide a solution tailored to our needs. What could have been a difficult process was made more enjoyable as Mel was a delight to work with."
