Social Media Theory and Fundamentals

During the recent coronavirus outbreak and as many jewellery stores and businesses stood shuttered, business owners and managers sought new ways to engage with their suppliers and customers, realising the potential of social media to connect, engage and inform. As jewellery businesses across the country begin to re-open, it is time to think about the successful new habits and practices that we can take forward with us, into the future.

This course provides a comprehensive and detailed insight into the demographics of different social media platforms, information on how they function and how to set them up, and guidance on how to develop interesting and engaging images and stories that will help you connect with your target audience.

The course is presented as a series of short and engaging training videos. The presenter, David Glenwright, is an experienced social media specialist and trainer who has worked with clients across a range of sectors including retail, healthcare and education.
