Clermont, FL – Businesses owners interested in harnessing the power of social media will have the opportunity to hear directly from of one of the leaders in the industry when online marketing innovator Kim Garst makes her appearance at this year’s Social Slam event in Knox, Tennessee on April 5th.

“Social media sites like Pinterest are no longer ancillary parts of a successful marketing strategy, but diving into any new marketing tool can be daunting. I get a lot of questions about how to get more Pinterest followers, or how to properly implement a marketing strategy like a Pinterest contest, and I’m excited to shed some light on those types of questions here at Social Slam,” said Kim Garst, co-founder of Boom! Social (http://www.kimgarst.com).

Garst was recently ranked number 24 on the Forbes “Top 50” Social Media Influencers list and, for the first time ever, will appear alongside three other members of this exclusive group for a unique Social Slam panel titled “Social Media Power: How to build your personal online brand” which will be held from 1:30pm – 2:20pm.

Shortly thereafter, from 2:30pm – 3:20pm, Garst will share her “10 Pinterest tips in 10 minutes” as part of the “Social Slam: 50 huge new ideas in 50 minutes” presentation.

“Businesses owners often view the barrier to entry of social media as too daunting to undertake, but the truth is that getting started on Pinterest isn’t complicated and companies that are effectively using Pinterest for marketing are seeing significant results that proactive entrepreneurs can’t afford to ignore,” Garst said.
