Social media is revolutionizing the way the internet is used, and its low- or no-cost tools can be used by small businesses to achieve remarkable results. Join the EDC to learn more about Facebook marketing at a free workshop from 10 to 11 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 25 at the Heritage Bank on San Juan Island. The course will start with a basic overview of Facebook pages for business and will cover setting up a Facebook page, optimizing messages for targeted audiences, creating a business ad, and tracking results.

Workshop instructor Jeanne Peihl is the trades and outreach coordinator at the EDC. She brings over seven years of social media, small business and marketing experience to the class.
