Allen Mireles to Speak About Google Plus at PRSA Event
Social Media Strategist Allen Mireles Presents “Google Plus: Worth Your Time?” at PRSA September Luncheon
The networking event will be held Friday, September 16, 2011 at the Toledo Club in downtown Toledo.
Social media marketing and public relations strategist Allen Mireles will speak at the upcoming PRSA NW Ohio chapter luncheon on Friday, September 16, 2011. The topic, “Google Plus for Marketing and Public Relations Professionals: Worth Your Time?”, will include a presentation about the nuts and bolts of using Google’s new social network and a discussion about its potential value. “People are feeling overwhelmed these days and many professionals have adopted a wait and see attitude toward new communications technologies,” said Allen Mireles. “However, in today’s marketplace we need to know how to use these tools and be able to make recommendations for our clients and employers,” she added.
The presentation will take attendees through the Google Plus features and showcase some of the creative business uses of the new social network. Google Plus is still in beta testing and available by invitation only. Each attendee will be provided with a Google Plus invitation. “Getting started with Google Plus is not difficult,” said Allen Mireles. “However, it can seem a little intimidating at first.”
According to Mireles, business profiles are not allowed yet although they are promised within weeks. “One of the benefits of taking the time to learn how to use Google Plus now, for yourself or for your employer or clients, is being able to develop new business relationships,” said Mireles. “Right now with a smaller population, you have the ability to reach out and make connections with industry leaders and influential members of the media,” she continued. Google Plus, introduced on June 28, 2011, has a base of about 30 million users as compared to Facebook’s 750 million, Twitter’s 200 million and LinkedIn’s 120 million users.
The PRSA luncheon will be held at the Toledo Club, located at 14th and Madison streets in downtown Toledo.. Networking begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch at noon, and the meeting immediately following lunch. Cost is $15 for members, $25 for guests and $10 for students. Reservations are due by noon on Wednesday, Sept. 14. Please RSVP to Kari Bucher at 419-867-8792 or klbmomof4 at sbcglobal dot net to reserve your seat.
