WORKSHOP ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BUSINESS MARKETING AND NETWORKING


This 1-day social media workshop is ideal for older adults who:
  • intend to start their own online business at minimal costs
  • want to market their products and services using social media
  • already know the basics of social media marketing but want to learn more
  • are interested in extending their network of friends via social media
  • have difficulty following computer classes catering to mixed-age groups
  • have no one patient enough to teach them how to use social media at a pace they can follow.
  • enjoy learning new things and meeting new people
If any of the above applies to you, we recommend that you register for the workshop. You will be learning together with your peers in an environment that is comfortable, friendly and supportive. There will be facilitators on hand to assist you if you have any problems.

registration fee of RM40 applies, payable at the door. We are expecting a full house as this is a unique opportunity for older folks (like me!) to learn new skills and apply the new knowledge.

Due to space constraint, seats are limited. To ensure a seat, send an email to seniorsaloud@gmail.com, and give your full name and contact number. Or call Lily at +6012-306 8391 or Kamil at +6019-664 1951.

We would appreciate it if you could inform us in advance should you be unable to attend after you have registered. Your seat can be given to those on the waiting list.  Thank you.

More information and updates will be posted individually to registered participants.
