Give great service, and an individual might tell a few.  Give bad service, all of social media knows.  With the power of social media and word of mouth influence continuing to rise, businesses more than ever need to manage their online reputation.  Online reputation management include aspects of PR, external communication, blogging, copywriting and social media.  For a business, online gossip or negative reviews can be the difference between securing or losing a potential customer (and sometimes hundreds of them).

So, how do you manage your online reputation? Maurisa Potts, Founder/CEO of Spotted MP returns to the Alexandria SBDC to provide small businesses, entrepreneurs and non-profits tips in effectively managing their reputation.

As always, we welcome you to come a few minutes early to network and settle in.  Doors open at 11:30 am.  Free parking in the “Retail Parking” garages accessed via either Wythe or Pendleton Streets.
