Entrepreneurs and business owners gathered at LAEDA Headquarters to learn about Social Media, practical strategies to build your brand, how to research online what works and what doesn’t, how to identify where your customers congregate, significant components of a successful social media effort and much more. Jason Springer President of JRS Strategies shared his expertise in social media and taught many details and factors that people tend to overlook when doing their social media, when being on different types of social media platforms, and what it costs to not be on any social media platform.

Barbara Hall- Bryant and Crystal D. Lewis are the owners and operators of I Say Yes Salon & Spa, LLC, and graduates of LAEDA’s Entrepreneurial Development Training Program. We had a chance to sit down with them to ask both of them about their experience with entrepreneurship and LAEDA’s training program.
