SUMMARY:Improving your Instagram Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you know how to get the most out of Instagram for your business? \nInstagram is one of the fastest-growing marketing platforms around today\, especially if your target audience encompasses Millennials and young adults.\nMore than half of the UK population now have an Instagram account\, with 60% of users being between 18 and 34. But as a business\, how best can you get the most out of Instagram\, a platform that is popular for its visual appeal? \nNot many of us have the budget to hire dedicated staff or third-party agencies to run our account so practical knowledge and skills are vital when we have limited time and resources. \nJoin us for an informative and practical workshop which will provide an overview of how to best utilise Instagram for your organisation. \nTo make this workshop as bespoke as possible we will ask you a few short questions when you register in order for us to understand the needs of the group\, but we will cover the following areas: \n•    The importance of marketing on social media for business\n•    A guide to navigating Instagram’s many features\, inc. Stories and Reels\n•    How to create compelling and engaging posts and visuals\n•    Practical examples of what works and what doesn’t\n•    Copyright and crowdsourcing imagery\n•    Profile designs and grid templates\n•    How to schedule posts in advance by mobile and computer\n•    A chance to share your own experiences and learn from others. \nOur social media workshops are popular\, and places are limited\, so please book early to avoid disappointment. \nWho Should Attend\nThis training is for staff who have the responsibility of social media as part of their role and have a good working knowledge of Instagram\, but do not necessarily have a working knowledge of how to make the platform work best for their business. This course will assist in gaining that understanding and how to tailor it to established business goals. \nWhat’s Included \n\nThe workshop lasts for 2 hours but further time is available at the end for any outstanding questions or queries.\nAfter the workshop\, we will send you a pack containing all the advice\, tips and links discussed during the session.\nYou will also be able to pass on follow-up questions to our trainers\, SRX Consultancy\, who will offer practical support (via email or a quick call) to ensure you are able to put everything you learned into action.\n\nAbout the Trainers\nSRX Consultancy is a boutique PR\, social media and communications agency specialising in areas including charity and small business.\nSRX’s bespoke and tailored training sessions have been running for 10 years – attended by staff from hundreds of charities\, organisations\, and small businesses\, always receiving positive feedback.\nThis workshop will be delivered by Simon Rothstein and Lauren Soar. \nDate:   Wednesday 22nd January 2025  10.00am to 12.00pm\nVirtual:  Zoom Platform\nCost to attend:  Members £95.00 + VAT and Non-Members £150.00 + VAT \nPlease note: This event will not be recorded and any material will only be circulated to those that attend
