Online Technology and Social Media Training
Not to be missed! As a service to members, TIA has organised online technology and social media training with a practical hands on element. You will learn a variety of skills in three main areas:
- Website Marketing
- Social Media
- Analytics
Discover how to use Google’s keyword tool to find out which keywords would be best for your business, how and where to add these keywords, and why this is important. Learn about Social Media sites like Facebook, Tripadvisor, Twitter and Flickr, how to set up a blog, how to get bloggers to talk about you and many other useful tools.
This training will be run by Lawrence Smith from Cabbage Tree Creative. Lawrence has a great deal of experience in this field as well as within the tourism sector. Cabbage Tree has worked on some fantastic websites within the industry, Mt Ruapehu and Mainstay Hotels New Zealand and TIA’s being just a few examples.
We will be hosting these workshops in 6 regions throughout New Zealand. The courses will be held in a school or training institution where each attendee will have access to a computer and will view online each of the learning areas.
