STROMSBURG, NEBRASKA – Small business owners are invited to learn about online marketing tools in an interactive setting during “Online Marketing Strategies,” a free workshop organized by the Center for Rural Affairs and Stromsburg Chamber of Commerce.

This session will be held Tuesday, May 14, 5 to 8 p.m., at Stromsburg Public Library, 320 Central St., in Stromsburg.

The workshop will focus on building online relationships using websites, email marketing, and social media, including Facebook and Twitter.

“Many small business owners get caught up trying to use social media, but then forget the basic necessity of having a broader online presence," said Kim Preston, Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center director. “Eighty-one percent of shoppers conduct online searches before buying. What will your potential clients find out about you?”

Diane Siefkes, owner of dkSolutions, and an online marketing consultant from Lincoln, Nebraska, will present the course.

Registration is required by May 7.
