Top 10 Reasons to Register for #SMCSTL This Thursday
Most members of the Saint Louis social media community already have enough reasons to come to this month’s Social Media Club - STL event, ranging from “I go every month because the networking is fantastic, no matter what the program entails” to just one word: “Beer.”
The group is gathering on Thursday night, 9/29, for a presentation by Jason Falls, and if you don’t know who Jason Falls is or if you are at all on the fence about getting your $15 ticket, here are 10 more reasons why you need to register today, and show up Thursday night for the fun:
In no particular order…
Reason #10: If you haven’t yet been to a Social Media Club event, or you haven’t made it to one in a while, this is the perfect time to get back into the network. On this brisk autumn night, head down to Soulard and enjoy a lively presentation and then mingle with a bright group of social media and marketing managers from BJC Healthcare, Fleishman-Hillard, Lumiere Place, Saint Louis Community College, Ronnoco Coffee, Missouri Botanical Garden, Webster University and Hardee’s - just to name a few!
Reason #9: Like you and me, Jason is from the Midwest!
I am an unabashed fan of the city of Louisville and state of Kentucky. If you have a connection to either, I may inadvertently play favorites. Sorry. Them’s my peeps.
Reason #8: Jason works for good causes:
I am a member of the Boards of Directors for both the National Center for Family Literacyand the Louisville Free Public Library Foundation. Literacy and libraries are passion projects for me. I do not profit from being involved with these organizations, but will pimp them gratuitously. If our society isn’t well-educated beyond the classroom, we will all suffer.
Reason #7: Jason is no clown:
“I’ve been famously quoted as saying, ’99.5% of social media experts are clowns,’ but watching Jason over the course of the last five years makes me feel pretty confident that he’s in the other .5%.”
–Gary Vaynerchuk, cofounder, VaynerMedia; author of The Thank You Economy
Some may disagree with the “no clown” part, but I guess we’ll find out Thursday night at some point, right? Probably after 9pm…
Reason #6: It’s a Thursday night…in Soulard…’nuff said?
Reason #5: You might win a sweet smart-phone!
AT&T will be hosting a raffle for attendees during the event. They want to know – what’s your favorite mobile app? To enter the raffle, tweet during the event about your favorite mobile app and use #SMCSTL and #ATTSocial hashtags. At the end of the event, they’ll announce a winner from the entries who will receive the LG Thrill.
Reason #4: Your job is to increase sales, profits, market share, and efficiency for your business…
You may think you “get” social media and you’ve certainly seen many “experts” present social media strategies, especially if you’ve been to a lot of Social Media Club events here in Saint Louis. But how is Jason different? This is his approach to it:
Identify specific, actionable goals. Apply business discipline and proven best practices. Stop fearing risks. Start mitigating them. Measure performance. Get results.
Reason #3: The first 100 people to register will recieve a copy of Jason’s book to take home with them – and get signed by the author himself.
Reason #2: It’s a guaranteed good time. Social Media Club STL has some of the best networking in Saint Louis. This group is fun-loving, energetic, driven, goofy, and above all else: social! Just take a look at the list of registered attendees so far.
Reason #1: You could pay to hire Jason, or you can come have drinks with us on Thursday night starting at 6pm, and get some low-cost advice from him, for the cost of the admission fee, and meet one of the most in-demand speakers in the social media, public relations and marketing fields, right here in your hometown.
