Chamber offers social media, marketing training

The Hardin County Chamber of Commerce is accepting registration for a Social Media Boot Camp, its second offering in the continuing Business at Breakfast series. The chamber also is launching a Lunch and Learn series with a repeat of its Marketing Your Business program. 

Both programs are designed to help develop members’ skills and knowledge to make their businesses more successful.

The Social Media Boot Camp was added based on feedback from participants who attended last year’s market program. The first breakfast will be held March 14 at Trino’s in Elizabethtown, starting at 7:30 a.m. with breakfast and networking.

Based on its success, chamber leadership decided to offer the marketing program again “but this time we decided to offer it during the lunch hour to give people who couldn’t make it to breakfast a chance to participate.” said Brad Richardson, chamber president and CEO.

The first lunch program is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. March 7 at Colton’s Steak House in Radcliff. The program will meet every other week at Colton's.

The programs feature several subject matter experts who work at Hardin County businesses including marketing directors, local media and advertising sales representatives, as well as firms that provide marketing services. 

“We’re pleased to be a part of the program,” said Michael Bateman, chair of the chamber’s marketing council and vice president of marketing for the Fort Knox Federal Credit Union.  “We welcome the opportunity to provide assistance to local businesses.”

Cost to attend the five-week marketing program is $75 and the four-week social media classes is $40.
