Free Social Media Training for Small Businesses

Westport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Weston and Wilton Patches are pleased to announce the launch of a free, two-hour event designed to teach business owners how to improve their connection to customers online.

At Main Street U, business owners can learn about how to take better advantage of social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter, with mini-workshops delivered by Patch staffers, community bloggers and social media experts on how to use Patch and add your own content to the online conversation. Here's a round-up of a recent event.

Partnering with Patch are the Business Council of Fairfield County, Weston-Westport Chamber of Commerce and the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, as well as two of our co-presenters at Main Street U on Oct. 18 in Westport: Amy DeLardi, founder of Fairfield-based Infinite Web Designs, LLC, and Brittany Serra, a Social Media Community Manager for Team Detroit who has developed and executed winning marketing strategies for both large and small brands.
