SPEAKING TOPIC (1)
Stop Waiting! It Is So Small Town.
Technology is changing at lightening speeds. The technology available today provides all the programs, skills and tools you need for your small community to thrive and compete online at the same high level as urban centres. It is time to stop waiting for tourism associations to come to your rescue. They have their own challenges. Greg discusses tools, programs, technology and traveler trends which will assist your community moving forward.
SPEAKING TOPIC (2)
Community Marketing Is Not The Devil.
Social media is a waste of time. Blogging takes too much time? My website doesn’t work? I have no time. I have not received any bookings? I do not understand it? I do not know where to start? Greg discusses the programs, platforms, benefits, challenges and myths of social media and content creation in the tourism industry. Content is king. Tourism public speaking allows Greg to share the why and how.
SPEAKING TOPIC (3)
Think Like A Traveller, Not Like A Local.
So many communities market their destination targeting locals without even knowing it. It is not their fault. They are thinking like a local. Travellers think differently than a local. They search differently. Their wants are different. Their knowledge of your region is limited. Travellers do not know your backyard like you do. Greg discusses thinking like a traveller, marketing for travellers, and changing traveller trends, habits and technology.
Master of Ceremonies & Hosting
Master of Ceremonies (MC) of an event, hosting a talk show or interviewing celebrities and dignitaries takes preparation, quick thinking, professionalism and a likeable personality. Greg Girard ticks all the boxes.
You would think in an ideal world the Host or MC would automatically be prepared, have nerves of steel, be a quick learner, be able to improvise, read a room, never get rattled, and always keep the show on schedule. Not so much. Hosts vary. Do your research and seek out a real pro who will anticipate problems, have a “Plan B”, because there are always going to be some surprises.

EHCMG provides 1 and 2 day training courses based on the wants and needs of the community.
(1) Course 101 – The Basics of Social Media for Small Towns (2 Hours). Learn the basics to Facebook and how to get the ball rolling. Why Facebook? It is the most used platform for travel by visitors. It is the most used platform by tourism businesses. It is the most important platform to grow your business.
(2) Course 102 – Content Marketing Saves Small Towns (3 Hours). You create all this content online and nothing takes, why is that? Learn how to create effective content, the tools available and the techniques involved to position on the first page of search engines and resonate on social media.
(3) Course 103 – Your Website Is Your Personality (2 Hours) . This is the meat of your business. When all the pieces are in place, your website can be the focus of your strategy and it should be. However, just having a website is not enough. It has to be working for you. We talk about what your website should be and could be with the right look and feel.
(4) Course 104 – Introduction to the Award Winning Experience Community Program (3 Hours). Most small communities lack staff, time, resources, skills and funding when implementing and maintaining online community programs. And sadly, the results are not there. The Experience Community Program saves you time, and money. And in-house editing and training produces effective results. Small towns can compete and beat urban centres on search engines and social media with this program.
