Trade Show Displays Designer Skyline Giving Webinar On Using Social Media For Trade Shows

ST. PAUL (January 9, 2012) – Skyline Exhibits is giving an hour-long webinar, “Social Media for Trade Show Promotions.” Skyline will host two webinar sessions on Wednesday, January 18, 2012.
“Contrary to popular belief, social media is not a threat to trade shows,” said Michael Thimmesch, director of industry relations for Skyline. “Instead, social media is a powerful and growing way for exhibitors to reach out to their potential prospects and entice them to visit their trade show displays.”
Attendees to this free, live webinar will learn:
• Which social media websites to use first
• What content works best in social media
• Many examples of pre-show, at-show, and post-show promotions on social media sites
• When and how often to post your promotions via social media
• How to jump start promotions if you don’t already have a social media presence

The webinar starts with 30 minutes of formal presentation. During the final 30 minutes, webinar attendees ask whatever questions they want about using social media for trade shows, or about trade show exhibits in general.
The webinar will be presented by two trade show industry veterans, Michael Thimmesch and Bill Lauf:

• Michael Thimmesch is the Director of Industry Relations for Skyline Exhibits, with over 20 years trade show and marketing experience. Mike has presented about trade show marketing at TS2, HCEA, and Exhibitor Show. Mike also writes for the Skyline Trade Show Tips blog and has lead Skyline’s social media efforts for the last 3 years.

• Bill Lauf is the Sales Management Trainer for Skyline Exhibits, a company he’s been with for 25 years. Bill is an articulate and passionate trainer who has inspired thousands of exhibiting professionals to create better trade show marketing solutions.
