“My Space is your space, Facebook is our new place, dip divn socializing” CCEDC is out there in cyber space. Chippewa County businesses are learning how to be innovative and utilize the resources available in social media marketing, in order to stay ahead of competition. From Facebook to LinkedIn to My Space, and to Twitter, there are many different “social media networks” that more and more businesses are becoming familiar with.   In recent years the “social media marketing” has exploded on the internet unfortunately leaving some businesses behind in the “social media marketing loop”. 

On April 15^th, 2010 with the assistance of CCEDC and Susan Maus came together and hosted a Social Media Marketing Workshop which was held in Bloomer at Blue Moose Steak House and Grill. The presenter Susan Maus of Katz and Maus Advertising, shared information on the different types of social media networks available for businesses.  Susan gave examples of how businesses are using Facebook, LinkedIn and Myspace to increase their business by marketing and networking through these social networking sites.  Chippewa County businesses are learning that utilizing the many different types of social media is necessary to stay ahead of the competition.  Businesses who utilize social media are able to expand on their marketing efforts which will help them become more successful with their businesses.
