The Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce will host a business workshop entitled “Using Social Media to Grow Your Business.”

The explosion of online social networking is changing the business world. This new form of communications is affecting the way business relationships form and grow, as well as altering the way day to day business is conducted.

LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter are the “Big Three” of social networks and are having a profound impact on how some businesses communicate with customers, suppliers and competitors. Learn about the conceptual underpinnings of social networks and how each of these networks can be used to help build your business.

Susie Atherton owner of Canine Creek Dog Wash & Boutique will be presenting the workshop. Susie's background includes several years in the hotel industry, both in the USA and internationally, where she has worked in sales, convention services, and central reservations management.

In addition to Canine Creek, Susie has started four small companies since 1991: an in-home pet care service in San Diego, a worldwide surgical instrument exporting firm in Colorado, an antiques and collectibles internet retail website, which she designed and still operates today, and Canine Creek Dog Wash & Boutique in Tehachapi.

The workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, June 23 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Conference Room, 422 W. Tehachapi Blvd. The cost of the workshop is $15 for Chamber Members, $25 for non-chamber members and advance registration is required. Registration deadline is Friday, June 18. Seating is limited so please register early.
