Sentinel hosts social media business workshops

Ramona Sentinel will be hosting a social media marketing workshop to help businesses take the first step into social media.

RamonaVoices.com is a local site (powered by Ramona Sentinel) similar to Facebook, but it takes the extra step to allow local businesses an opportunity to join in the conversation.

“We have given our local businesses a forum to have a voice,” said Marianne Welch, Ramona Voices’ media consultant.

Any business may attend the workshop for free and learn ways to market their business through social networking.

The workshops will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 2, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. running every half hour at D’Carlos restaurant at 1347 Main St.. Refreshments will be served.

Each business will have a chance to win an iPad.
