Office Ed Lunch & Learns

A lunch & learn can be defined as any opportunity to learn something new during one’s lunch hour. In our case, it’s an hour and 15 minute workshop where you can learn web marketing skills that your entire office or staff can use to boost your business – complete with lunch!

There are plenty of reasons, but we’ll start with the basics. First, there are several aspects of your marketing strategy that you could be including the rest of your staff in to increase your productivity and sales while saving money. Booking a Lunch & Learn can help all of your staff members receive the same level of training at the same time, so that everyone in your office is on board with the same goals and standards. That way, if you ever need to shift priorities and duties around, you won’t have to re-train whoever you choose to be in charge of those aspects.

It’s also a great way to get more of the staff involved in the company’s marketing. When everyone learns together, it’s easier to spread responsibilities and duties around. You can save productivity hours and benefit from all hands being on deck!

The trainer for our Lunch & Learns is our own Web Marketing Specialist, Ina Stanley! You can learn more about Ina by hovering over her name in our calendar at the right.

We currently offer 5 Lunch & Learn topics for you to choose from:

• Facebook Marketing for 2011
• Ecommerce Marketing for 2011
• Local Marketing & Location-Based Sharing in 2011
• The Well-Socialized Business: Social Media for Businesses in 2011
• Blogging & Beyond in 2011

We’ll be adding new topics in the future, but for now these are the trending topics in the world of web marketing, and the main ones we think businesses will benefit from focusing on.

Yes. If you don’t see a topic that interests you, or if you feel your staff really needs training on a particular web marketing topic not listed here, simply contact us to request your own topic. We’ll add it to our list so you can book your training session as soon as you’re ready!

Our Lunch & Learns are $497 each. They include a hour workshop on the topic of your choice (complete with live examples), a 15-minute Q & A session, worksheets and activity guides for you and your staff to follow along with, and lunch!

We do! In addition to training, you and your staff will receive catered lunch on us. We strive to support local businesses, so we’ll be offering a variety of foods for your spread. You can expect healthy and organic (when possible) sandwich, fruit and dessert trays as well as a variety of soft drinks. Our lunch options may contain dairy, wheat, soy and meat products, so be sure to let us know if you have specific requests for vegetarians, vegans, expecting mothers or staff members with food allergies.

It’s a good idea to create an account so that we have all of the information necessary to approve and officially schedule your training session. Creating an account also allows you to log back in if you need to reschedule or cancel your training session. And if you ever decide to book another training session on a different topic in the future the system will remember your information, making any future bookings quick & easy!

In order to provide the best service possible to all of our clients, we have elected to review and manually approve every training session requested. This is simply so that we do not overbook sessions and cause anyone any inconvenience. But don’t worry, our system is monitored throughout our business hours so as long as your requested date isn’t booked, you’ll receive a quick session approval.
