Learn Social Media for Your Twins Club

BigTent — Wed, 26 May 2010 19:22:44 +0000

Is your twins club looking for ways to increase engagement, connect with new local parents and supporters, and raise awareness of all the great things you do in the community? Join me and BigTent for a fun, free, and informative social media webinar designed just for you.

Social Media for Twins Clubs

Wednesday, June 9 @ 9 am Pacific/noon Eastern

Register for FREE at http://bigtent.com/l/smtc

I’ll cover 10 tips for getting started with social media, drawing on my experiences as Director of Manhattan Twins Club and Founder of Twiniversity. With Twiniversity, I’ve gained over 2000 Facebook fans, 500 BigTent friends, and 300 Twitter followers in just a few months. These products have played a substantial role in helping me build an international support network for parents of twins and higher order multiples.

But enough about me. This session is all about you, and we’ll keep it open-ended to discuss any of your questions or suggestions. No topic is too big or too small!

All parents groups leaders and folks interested in learning about social media are welcome to attend, though my approach will be tied to the unique experience of parenting twins.

Hope to see you at the webinar!

-Natalie, founder of Twiniversity.com & expert BigTent leader
