Tim Patterson, Senior Designer and co-founder of SocialMediaEventMarketingU.com adds that ‘the tradeshow industry has been showing for some time that they’re almost desperate for current how-to information to get up and running’ for social media event and tradeshow marketing. Internal research shows that more than 90% of people are still at or near the beginning stage of social media engagement.

The site, launching in January 2012 features dozens of easy-to-understand training videos on everything from Blogging 101, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook, to a collection of case studies with specific takeaways from each event. Each video is a concise, no-fluff look at an individual topic.
“Since social media evolves quickly, yet there are still countless companies that are still struggling with even getting started, the site starts at the beginning,” says Patterson. “We walk through the basics so that newbies can figure it out from square one.”

The site is designed as a monthly membership program, although a basic membership is free, which gives people access to dozens of training videos on the first steps of social media engagement for events, conferences and tradeshows. Each basic membership also offers a modest 5% discount on all tradeshow and exhibit accessories from booths, banner stands, literature holders and more purchased through Communication One Exhibits.

“Special deals will also come and go, depending on what kind of bargains we can strike with our partners,” added Patterson. Future premium memberships, which are still in development and set to launch in February, will offer more advanced training videos and deeper discounts on hardware. Both monthly and yearly memberships will be offered. An affiliate marketing program is also in the works.

Premium members will also receive monthly specials, ranging from exclusive industry white papers, in-depth audio or video interviews with industry consultants or experts to special reports and other valuable content.

The site can be accessed at SocialMediaEventMarketingU.com.
