Social Media as a Tool for the Equipment Industry
Presenter:  Kirby Yakemchuk, Ledcor Group
Description:  Social media still remains a mystery to many companies even though there is an abundance of evidence of its success as a business tool.  It is a tool that can be applied effectively to the equipment industry in ways you may have never imagined. Imagine a YouTube video that highlights your company’s continuous investment in sophisticated equipment and your ability to handle highly technical jobs and materials on a local and/or global basis.

In this Webinar, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn ways that social media can be used effectively in the equipment industry and can you expect a ROI.
- Explore areas of use that may be applied to your company.
- Develop and apply policies that govern the business use of social media.
- Plan for the use of ‘Best Practices’ when beginning to use Social Media.

For example, did you know that?
- One out of every seven minutes spent online is on Facebook 340 million tweets are sent each and every day
- Pinterest is the social network that skews most heavily towards female users, whilst Google+ is predominately used by men
- 300 million pictures are uploaded to Facebook every day via Instagram
- 61 percent of LinkedIn members use it as their primary professional networking site
