One of the biggest things Afton Neal preached to her social media class for small business owners was to not make a Facebook post sound like an advertisement in any way."People don't want ads, they want stories," she told the class of about 10 small business owners and employees late last year.Neal was one instructor who helped lead a series social media classes put on by the Downtown Grand Junction Business Improvement District. Neal owns Annelise Bridal Boutique on Colorado Avenue, but also has experience running social media accounts for some small businesses in the area. She also knows not everyone has her background using social media.
