The webinar will be held at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, October 10.
Agents can register for the Social U webinar at www.facebook.com/TravelImpressions for pointers on how to take advantage of social media’s most photo-centric platform to-date.
“With its emphasis on enticing photography, Pinterest is uniquely suited for travel promotion, but is largely untapped by travel agents,” said Katie Gorga, senior manager of Social Media for Travel Impressions and host of the Social U series. “The next installment of Social U is designed to increase agents’ confidence on Pinterest and other popular social networking platforms with basic how-to tips such as verifying your URL and adding the Pinterest Follow button to your website as well as more advanced tools agents can use to generate incremental business.”
"This webinar takes the previous Social U’s broad-focused ‘Visual Storytelling’ lessons to the next level, delving deeper into specific strategies through which agents can connect with existing and new clients to increase their sales," she added.
