Featured Speaker

Melanie Dawkins, Nebraska Realty

Melanie spent 13 years working in local television news as an anchor and reporter, leaving that career in 2016. Now she is a real estate agent with Nebraska Realty, specializing in working with seniors and empty nesters looking to downsize in retirement.  Melanie spoke to the group about how to improve your businesses on social media.  She advised that having a social media presence is critical but not to over saturate your message on too many platforms.  Also, posting what your business is doing on social media should show the audience what you do instead of telling them what you do.  She then gave the group some tips and tricks on the content and format of posts to make them more impactful.  The tips include the use of video, picture carousel and proper use of hashtags to reach your target audience.  Melanie also gave tips on how to fit social media marketing into an already busy day/week and some of the app/programs she uses to create the content on the fly.
