WCA: How did you get into social media marketing?

Jen Smith: I started my social media career in 2006 as the Hewlett Packard Account Director for a social media startup here in Austin. I remember presenting to HP and telling them that they should consider partnering with Facebook. Their response? “Who the heck is Facebook and why should we care about them?” Ah, how times have changed 🙂

WCA: What’s your absolute favorite thing about Facebook?

Jen Smith: My absolute favorite thing about Facebook is the ability as a business to connect with your customers on a personal level. You can literally have a Q&A session through the comments or ask your fans their favorite product feature and why. It’s like having your own focus group at your finger tips!

WCA: What will attendees learn at the February WCA luncheon?

Jen Smith: You will walk away with actionable information on how to use Facebook for your business. If you’re an online business – I’ll teach you how to get conversions online. If you’re a local business owner – I’ll teach you the best Facebook tips for local business owners.

WCA: What’s one tip for someone who has never used Facebook for business?

Jen Smith: Use Facebook ads!!! It’s easy and any budget works – even $1 a day can get you results.
