SUMMARY:Improving your Facebook Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you know how to get the most out of Facebook for your business? \nFacebook is the world’s largest social media platform. It has around 50 million active users in the UK and is popular with people of all regions\, income levels\, genders\, and educational backgrounds. \nNot many of us have the budget to hire dedicated staff or third-party agencies to run our account\, so how do you get the most out of Facebook and use it to attract new followers and engagement without this? \nJoin us for an informative and practical workshop which will provide an overview of how to best utilise Facebook for your organisation – vital when you have limited time and resources. \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•    How to create compelling and engaging posts\n•    Practical examples of what works and what doesn’t\n•    Using Facebook to recruit and inspire future employees\n•    A chance to share your own experiences and learn from others\n•    How to schedule posts in advance and work smarter\n•    Facebook features explained\, including Stories and Reels\n•    A brief overview of the Meta Business Suite and Facebook Insights\n•    The importance of scheduling and calendars. \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 Facebook\, 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. Their 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. This workshop will be delivered by Simon Rothstein and Lauren Soar. \nDate:   Tuesday 2 December 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
