Free Users & Applications for educate2011 attendees!
If you join us on Friday November 18th for the ‘What’s New In Pegasus Opera 3?’ seminar and place an order to upgrade from Opera II to Opera 3 before the end of 2011 then we will give you a extra user or an additional application completely free of charge! This offer is coupled with the HBP Group 20% special offer running from November 1st until the end of 2011 (see here) which reduces the already discounted price from Pegasus.
The seminar, which will be presented by Pegasus, will look at some of the developments in Pegasus Opera 3 over the past year which have added some excellent functionality to the system and already prompted many companies to upgrade to the latest Pegasus product. To make the most of educate2011 we also have sessions on the upcoming changes to PAYE & Pensions (presented by Sage but relevant to all!) and a seminar of the credit control module Credit Hound.
The full range of seminars on the day (there are 17 in total) offer something for people working in finance, payroll, management, IT and marketing and you are welcome to bring as many colleagues with you as you wish.
See our educate2011 website for the full agenda and register for your place.
Six Simple Tips for Social Media
Getting your social media marketing right is not easy. There are so many sites to join, so many people to follow and so many potential opportunities to promote your business that you may not know where to start or, if you have started, where to focus your attention.
As relative newcomers to social media at the HBP Group we've put together some tips which we've found have helped us get to grips with using sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
1) Don't Do It All
I know we made this mistake and I'm sure lots of other people have too. When you decide that social media is the way forward you set off and set up a Facebook business page, a Twitter account, a LinkedIn profile and countless other pages which you think will give you excellent coverage. A week down the line and you're wondering how on earth anyone has time for all of this. Be realistic - if you're short on time then just set up one of the three (whichever you feel is most appropriate to your audience) because it's better to manage one social media campaign properly than to lots of them badly.
