My Notes: Story about Hotel Rex. Transition: This is such a great example because it shows how simply you can start to integrate social media into your current marketing plan.

Does anyone know how to get a live person to help me buy a family pass? Great example of an attraction really engaging their audience on social media
Like Hotel Rex did Add photo component at Flickr if you don’t want to set up a FB page; or a YouTube Channel
Don’t do it just to do it Where does it fit into your current marketing plan? Bring in individual tools as needed Find sources who can keep you up-to-date You don’t personally have to try out every tool Identify and rely on a couple of good experts Focus on how relationships are changing, not tools themselves
