More Info about the Channel Partner Enablement Program How to Empower Your Channel Partners With Social Media Six one-hour sessions for IT channel partners (resellers/solution providers/agents/alliances) and hands-on introduction to popular tools guided by the Social Media Academy through a dedicated on-line community. Sponsor Package and Opportunity Sponsors can invite partners (up to 1,000 per class) to a thought-leadership program that will educate these resellers about how to use popular social media tools and get them better connected with the social media activity of their vendors. Sponsoring vendors will receive email templates that can be sent to resellers inviting them to register as a guest of their sponsoring vendor. Sponsors will also receive discussion post templates that can be used in online communities and social media sites to invite resellers to the program. Sponsors will also be mentioned in the marketing campaign and during the webcasts. Sponsor logos will be included on the registration landing page, the opening slide of every webcast, and within the community that is set up specially for this program. We will also encourage sponsors to blog and Tweet before and during the sessions. Reseller participants, as part of the program (homework) will be asked to connect with sponsoring vendors in popular social media spaces. Sponsors will provide information (sites and profile names) that can be transmitted to partners in the community or this can be posted in the sponsoring vendors branded partner community. Sponsors can schedule additional propriety webcasts during or after the sessions to provide more specific information. Contest can be announced by sponsors to encourage their partners to join (iPods to the first ten resellers who post in the branded community, etc.) more info http://www.socialmedia-academy.com/blog/index.php/us-program/channel-program/ and http://gilwellgroup.com
