As we have all moved to more online activity in recent months, we are looking for new ways to stay top of mind for our existing customers and to reach new markets. Social video can put your business ahead of the curve by taking advantage of the algorithms created by social platforms. A professionally created video can do wonders for your brand, but social video will keep the conversation going in between marketing campaigns. With video, you can showcase your products and services while building a connection with your audience. Use social videos to introduce your team, show how friendly they are, highlight their expertise, and make your business more relatable. Our experts for this workshop will explain why platforms want you to include more video content, and also how to make your self-produced videos better and more engaging.

THE BIG IDEA Local small businesses make our communities run. They support community events and sponsor sports teams. They also provide nearly 70% of all private sector jobs in Canada. They have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we want to support their recovery in the same way they have supported our communities time and again. So, we are actively taking part in a one-day event called the Big Spend. On July 25, be part of helping to revive the Canadian economy by making an intentional purchase at a local small business of your choice. ACTION PLAN: 3 STEPS TO BE PART OF THE BIG SPEND 1. BUY LOCAL: On July 25, make an intentional purchase at a local small business of your choice. 2. REPORT YOUR SPEND: Add your name to our Big Spend list, so we can map spending across Canada and track the economic impact we're making together. 3. SHARE THE NEWS: Share a story or photo about where you made your Big Spend on Facebook or Instagram! Use hashtag #TheBigSpend or @TheBigSpend
