Struggling with Social Media? Your Input Will Drive Actionable Solutions!

The Blue Ridge Business Network invites you to join us on Wednesday, June 5 at 12:00 noon at the Alleghany Campus of WCC for a crucial Listening Session focused on the challenges and burnout of social media management for small businesses. This is a chance to connect with other local entrepreneurs who understand what you're going through and to share your specific pain points.

We're delighted to welcome Jennifer Swenk, owner of Sparta Candle Company, as our special guest. Jennifer will share her real-world experiences using social media for her business, offering valuable insights into effective strategies and common pitfalls.

The information gathered during this session will be instrumental in creating a future Session of Action designed to provide practical tools and solutions to alleviate social media burnout. By participating, you'll not only gain support but also directly contribute to creating a more sustainable and effective social media landscape for small businesses in the Blue Ridge region.

See you there!
