#OutOfTheBoxLunch Series: Social Media 101

Wednesday, April 16 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Deluxe Corporation 3680 Victoria Street North Shoreview, MN 55126

Social Media has evolved. In the past social media was thought of as spur of the moment marketing or even a non-necessary channel. Now, social media has moved to a strategic channel component integrated into marketing plans. It is now not a question of if you should be in social media, it is a question of how I should be in social media.
