5 Things to Know: USANA Social Media

Recently I traveled to Canada to train an outstanding group of entrepreneurs on effectively and efficiently using social media for business.

The Winnipeg, Manitoba, event opened my eyes to a number of things.

• First, it’s exciting to see such a vibrant community willing to embrace social media.
• Second, the little I saw of the city reminded me of Salt Lake in winter (of course, I did miss the epic “deep freeze” by a week … thank goodness).
• Third, Ruby Director Rory Jones’ comparison between fishing and entrepreneurship was brilliant (ask him to tell you about it sometime).

And finally, we as a social media team are producing so much content and performing so many behind-the-scenes tasks that some of what we’re doing might be getting lost in the shuffle — and you might not be using the information for maximum effect.

As I often mention, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to social media. We’ve got six years of content under our belts, and we’re producing more and more each day. But we need to let you know where to find it!

With that in mind, I thought it might be helpful to share 5 things to know about USANA social media, a department that is about to celebrate its sixth anniversary.
