Creative Blog Solutions Holds Networking Event with a Social Media Twist

Washington, DC Metropolitan Area business owners will gather for an evening of networking and a demonstration of business-oriented social media skills.

11.03.2009 – Maryland-based social media marketing firm, Creative Blog Solutions, will host a networking event featuring seven Washington, DC-based social media/online marketing experts who will give live demonstrations of Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other popular social tools. Social media can be a powerful way for businesses to find high quality leads, develop brand enthusiasm, create more buzz about their products or services, and provide a popular and live channel for instant word-of-mouth marketing.

"Social media marketing is much more palatable when you see the tools in action," says Terri Holley, founder and principal of Creative Blog Solutions. "The live demonstrations will show business owners how social media can be a very practical and effective business growth tool."

Holley has first-hand knowledge of these advantages, growing her own business by 50% over the past year through the use of social media. Holley, a highly successful speaker and advisor, consults regularly with companies throughout the United States on the benefits of interactive media, and has a large following of clients and business contacts spread out over many social channels.

"Many businesses are discouraged from using social media because they don't know where to start or they don't think they have time," adds Holley. "But the fact is, a recent study confirms what we already know; 93% of Americans who use social media feel better served by companies who use it as well. This event will provide a venue for business owners to speak with experts about how they can leverage social technologies to fit their specific business goals."

The event will take place on Friday, November 6, from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM at The Pearl Spa in Fulton, MD. Business owners throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area are expected to attend.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Tickets can be purchased online at http://socialmediasoireedcmd.eventbrite.com.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit A Wider Circle, a Maryland-based non-profit organization that serves those who are stricken by poverty.
