A preview of IMUK 14!

Results published on last week’s Econsultancy blog show that the number of Facebook interactions, since January 2014, have risen by 30%. It is clear from these statistics that businesses, more than ever before, need to know how to capitalise on their brand’s social media presence and have a clear social media strategy in place. The key thing is to engage with customers — ask them questions, give them advice and post inspirational quotes.

Recently voted by Forbes.com as the number one global authority on social media, Gary Vaynerchuk knows the importance of leveraging business presence online. In 1997, he took his family business Shoppers Discount Liquors, rebranded it as WineLibrary.com, launched the retail site and grew the business from $4 million to $60 million in revenue. The best-selling author and entrepreneur will be the keynote speaker at the Inbound Marketing UK Conference (IMUK14) in Liverpool on Tuesday 8th July 2014. The one day conference, being held in The Rum Warehouse, promises to be the biggest Inbound Marketing event of the year.
