A basic "how to" for engaging customers, friends and colleagues
BURNSVILLE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With more than 500 million users worldwide, Facebook is the dominant
force in social media. Every month, Facebook users spend more than 700
billion minutes on the site. For local businesses, the question is
whether their customers and prospects are among this vast audience, and
if so how do they reach and engage them?
Frontier Communications [NYSE:FTR] will host a FREE live one-hour
webcast to examine ways companies and organizations can build a
successful presence on Facebook. The webinar will be held Wednesday,
June 8, 2011 at 10 a.m. CDT. More information and registration details
are available at www.frontier.com/facebook.
A replay of the webcast will also be available following the web event
at www.frontier.com/facebook.
“Facebook is continually evolving and its effect on brands and marketing
are simply too big to ignore,” said Bill Fuesz, Regional Director of
Commercial Marketing for Frontier. “During Frontier’s recent FREE
webcast on social media, we received many questions about how businesses
and organizations can best tap into Facebook’s enormous potential. This
webcast will look exclusively at Facebook, best practices for using it,
and practical tips for Facebook novices and veterans alike.”
The webcast will feature experts Chris Treadaway, founder and chief
executive office of Notice Technologies, and Albert Maruggi, founder and
president of Provident Partners.

serial entrepreneur, Microsoft alumnus and 14-year veteran of Internet
businesses, Treadaway is a widely recognized authority on Internet
marketing.

and venture capital, Maruggi is a well-rounded and knowledgeable
