Lezing: Mond tot mond reclame met Sociale Media

Ingrid Haverkate — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:44:44 +0000

Het belangrijkste aspect van Sociale Media is dat men de mogelijkheid heeft gekregen om op het internet razendsnel een mening te geven over een product of een dienst. Voor sommige bedrijven leidt dit tot grote successen, en weer andere bedrijven slaan totaal de plank mis. Deze mond tot mond is een belangrijke vorm van informatie uitwisselen en verkrijgen via Sociale Media. Maar hoe ga je daar mee om als bedrijf? Hoe weet je wat er gezegd wordt? En bovenal, hoe zorg je ervoor dat mensen positief over jouw product gaan praten?

In deze presentatie, komen de volgende onderwerpen aan bod:

- Vergelijking van 10 jaar geleden en nu
- Succes en mislukkingen van Mond tot mond reclame
- Hoe beïnvloed je mond tot mond reclame

Wanneer: vrijdag 6 augutus 2010 om 17:00
Waar: The Corridor, Hengelosestraat 525, Enschede

De duur van de presentatie is een half uur

The summerschool concentrates on training in July, while in August the focus is on application of what has been learned, including an opportunity to present the business concept to a panel of experts.

How to get in contact with some serious investors!..

Tim van Eck — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:28:33 +0000

Per July 2nd, Mr. Radboud Dood of ‘Meesters van de Toekomst’ is available to participants in VentureLab Twente for questions on the funding of their companies in general, and Informal Investing specifically. Meesters van de Toekomst is a broker between entrepreneurs looking for funding on the one hand and ‘business angels’ looking for investment opportunities on the other hand.

A typical activity of Meesters van de Toekomst, is organizing specific meetings where capital-seeking entrepreneurs are brought together with individuals with capital (business angels) who want to provide startup capital for young companies and help them grow. These investments involve major decisions from both parties – they can be a high risk for the investor to take. This is why the plans presented at these meetings, have to meet very high demands. To learn what specifically is asked from the entrepreneurs, is for example an important purpose of the meetings at VentureLab Twente.

Every first Friday of the month from 13:30h-15:00h VentureLab participants will have the possibility to share their plans and financial request with Radboud. He will assess the current quality of the financial request and where possible will give advice on the further improvement of the plans.

Meesters van deToekomst is an initiative of Oost NV and Kennispark Twente.
