Below are some details on the restaurant and winery offerings, but we are now also handling social media management for small businesses
in the Adelaide area.
This includes:
– social media set-up and language tools
– optimisation of marketing opportunities
– long term planning and scheduling
– staff training on the social media minefield
– a plan to hand over the reins to the business if required.
Many small businesses treat social media as a free advertising tool – to their existing networks. To be truly effective, there are many ways to extend a business’ reach and yield a positive return.
A plan can be established to best address the business goals – as these are manifestly different, business to business – and drive custom to the door.
As of January, we will regularly be running short tutorial sessions on channel-to-market inside knowledge, the basics of invoicing and pricing to the wine trade, distribution management, tasting notes and wine-writer communications, wine club set-up and more.
To keep up with when and where these will be held – and yes, there will be a small fee involved – kindly email me at: kate@claritasmarketing.com.au
