LUNCH N LEARN: Social Media Strategy 101 - How to Grow Your Business Within Your Budget

The Garrett County Chamber of Commerce's inaugural LUNCH N LEARN. Enjoy a light lunch while you learn from an industry professional. 

Does Facebook, Instagram and YouTube make you feel overwhelmed (and maybe a little ancient)? Are you tired of customers asking you if you're on social media? Would you like to reach new potential customers, but don't know where to start? Then this talk is for you. Kendall will teach you some do's, don'ts, and inexpensive tips to grow your social media presence, and your business. This event is sponsored by Oakland Oil & Propane and Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations & Sales.

Over the past 15 years, Kendall has provided creative and timeless branding, print and web solutions for companies and non-profits across the country (and even has a few international clients!). 

In 2011, CurlyRed was officially certified as a MBE/WBE business by the State of Maryland. CurlyRed is a Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) and a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) business by the Small Business Administration (SBA).
