INTRODUCTION TO EXPORTING

Friday, Oct 3, 8:30 to 11:30

Find out what's happening in Lake Forestfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

The seminar will include an overview of how to research new markets, legal aspects of foreign trade, logistics and shipping, market entry strategies, and information on writing an international business plan. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Please RSVP with Economic Development at: economicdevelopment@lakeforestca.gov. A light breakfast will be provided.



SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Wednesday, Oct 8, 5 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

During this informative workshop, attendees will receive step-by-step instructions on creating a Facebook account, an overview of the most popular social networking tools (e.g., Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn), effective social media strategies, and tips to ensure timely and informative content that can generate more customers. Seating is limited! Please RSVP with Economic Development at: economicdevelopment@lakeforestca.gov. Light refreshments will be provided.

Both these workshops are co-sponsored by the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce and the City’ Economic Development Department. Jessica Gonzales, the head of Economic Development does a great job and both workshops will probably be very beneficial. The good people from the Chamber make sure that the workshops are well run. I attended the Social Media workshop earlier this year and found it very educational.
