A WORCESTERSHIRE social media and marketing support agency is looking to fill the last few places on a forthcoming seminar.

Online Media Works is running the event, entitled Using Instagram for Business, on Tuesday, May 16, between 9.30am and 4.30pm in Worcester.

The seminar, being delivered by Online Media Works founder Esther Partridge-Warner, will be focusing on increasing brand awareness by using Instagram.

The event will appeal to people running businesses such as hotels, retail, hairdressing and beauty salons, as well as fitness instructors and yoga teachers.

The Malvern woman, a former businesswoman of the year, said: "In the 21st century people love Instagram because the visual content inspires them and they discover things they care about; this includes both photos and videos from brands and businesses.

"Interestingly, 60 per cent of people say they discover new products on Instagram and 75 per cent of Instagrammers take action after being inspired by a post.”

Among the subjects being discussed in the seminar are the best use of hashtags, how to engage followers, and how to promote an Instagram account.
