Our most recent social media breakfast in Appleton, WI effectively doubled in size from a nascent group of 12-15 to a group of nearly 30. The topics of the event were divided between a discussion of some of the questions that came up from our “What the *Tweet*” event in Green Bay and an in depth discussion of the nuances of Twitter.
We always ask the group to go around and do some quick introductions and to share the ‘question of the day’ that they brought with them to the event. Much of the information that people are seeking is to know more about what others are doing with social media in the area. I suppose that the SMB is a great place to learn that sort of thing!
We’ve set a date for the next meeting of July 9th. We’ll be doing our first actual ‘presentation’ by sharing a few examples of ’social media toolkits’ that people are using to leverage social media for their business.
In other news, the group also garnered some nice media coverage of the event in the Appleton Post-Crescent with an article entitled “Appleton’s Social Media Breakfast shows how businesses can ‘tweet’ their marketing“. It was some nice press for the group!
