Be authentic and build relationships with potential customers were the two take home messages from the latest Women in Business Regional Network dinner for Strathalbyn, which had a focus on social media.

Strathalbyn’s Sonya Lorenz of Metal & Stone Jewellers was the speaker for the dinner held at Oasis Gardens Restaurant and Function Centre.  It was the first Strathalbyn in-person event since COVID-19.

The presentation focused on Facebook and how to build an audience while spending very little, or nothing at all.

Sonya said it was important to engage with a social media audience in a friendly and approachable way, being authentic to your brand and yourself.  

She emphasised that social media was ‘social’, so it was important to interact with others in a social manner online, offering help where you can while also promoting your business.

The event had strong attendance with businesswomen travelling from the Adelaide Hills and Goolwa, as well as the Strathalbyn area, to be involved and to reconnect with other women in business.

The next Strathalbyn dinner will be held on Thursday 17 September, with further details to be announced.  Bookings will be via Eventbrite.com.au.
