Market research company, 10Thousand Feet will later this month be facilitating a webinar for franchisors, teaching them how to use social media as a means of recruiting new franchisees.

The free webinar, sponsored by Franchising magazine, will be held on 26 July and will be presented by guest expert, Iggy Pintado, who according to Ian Krawitz, 10Thousand Feet's head of intelligence, is one of Australia's most connected networkers with over 20,000 LinkedIn contacts and Twitter followers, as well as 3,000 Facebook friends.

"He's very passionate about the power of social media, so we're going to be exploring the social media brands that you need to be on, and looking at the rules of engagement with those brands, as well as some practical case studies of success," Krawitz told Franchising.

Franchisors can register for the 45 minute webinar via the link below.
