Doing Business the hyper-local Social Media Way

Join TIMA for the July Lunch & Learn program on Wednesday, July 14th at Hotel Indigo (just off Miami & I-40 near Ruddino’s). The panel discussion will review some of the new web and mobile based applications designed for local merchants and local consumers to come together. Some programs are game based, some are “Deal of the Day” and others rely on community content building. What is all the excitement about and do the programs live up to the hype? Are they viable new sources for local advertising?

Join a panel of Social Media web and mobile sites that utilize user-generated content and social media to drive business for local retailers, restaurants, bars and organizations. Nationally known Social Media expert Wayne Sutton will lead our panel of experts to discuss hyper-local social marketing programs for business. Join Christina Gates, Community Manager for Yelp!, Lawrence Ingram, Creator and Developer of Tri-Out and Brad Halferty, Co-Founder and CEO of Twongo for our program.
