TUCSON, AZ, July 03, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- To help their members gain success in the craft marketplace and prepare for the fourth quarter, ArtFire is offering Social Media Optimization Week (SMO). SMO Week is designed to teach artisans how to use social media to promote their studios and items, with advice straight from ArtFire's own SMO experts.
As part of SMO week, ArtFire will be posting a series of five guides (one new one everyday) on various aspects of SMO and how to use it to improve one's business, including blogging, micro-blogging, and use of social networking sites. These guides will remain posted on the site indefinitely, so that users can go back and read them at any time.
SMO Week is a completely free opportunity for online craft sellers to learn more about promoting themselves on the internet. All users have full access to ArtFire's SMO guides and can engage ArtFire's SMO team in the site forums and emails if they have specific questions.
"Many users engage social media without ever realizing how beneficial it can be to their business," Said John Jacobs, CEO of ArtFire.com. "SMO Week at ArtFire is designed to help educate members and give them the tools they need to promote their business online."
