1. Local Food Movement
Local food or the local food movement is a "collaborative effort to build more locally
based, self-reliant food economies - one in which sustainable food
production, processing, distribution, and consumption is integrated to enhance the
economic, environmental and social health of a particular place."[1] It is part of the concept of
local purchasing and local economies; a preference to buy locally produced goods and services
rather than those produced by corporatized institutions. -- Wikipedia

Focus on the story not the technology [Tweeting when supposed to be reporting]There is a time and place for everything[Customer Service vs. Social Maven Story]Be appropriate [Don’t take pictures of dead people!]Turn your technology OFF! [The anchor’s phone blingged and she received a text/photo, etc.]Keep to your talking points [Slap Daddy]Don’t mix messages [Location based, FourSquare, info still has to be relevant to your goals]Separate the technology from the message [Who cares how many followers you have or need]Keep your message simple [Use blogs to highlight off topic info – what camera you are using!]Pick your tools [Pick a few and integrate seamlessly. You don’t have to use all SM tools]
Facebook must be in sync with your business/brand’s goals, visions, & values. Don’t worry so much about SM policies, figuring your ROI, trying to get people to “Like you”Think about a physical existence (Business After Hours). Do you like talking to the person who is SELLING something to you? Or do you take the time to continue to talk to the person who sits in the corner and when you engage them they just ignore you or look at your like you are interrupting them? People “Like” PEOPLE who are fun and interesting! That includes businesses. Be fun and interesting. CARE about those you are talking with/to. Be interested in what they are doing. Be present!Easiest way to create a page (that I have found) is to go to ANY Page, Scroll to the bottom of the left column, choose “Create a Page”Facebook Page creation tools are very simple now. https://www.facebook.com/FacebookPages
Post daily. Every business is different do some testing to see what works best. Utilize Facebook Insights as you do your testing to see its impact.Do some research on when the best time of day is to post for your particular audience. [Are you leisure? Is your market on the West Coast, in another Country? Seniors, Students, Mommy Bloggers?] When are “they” on Facebook? Watch your chat lists. Experiment by keeping a log by ½ hour on the numbers. Check various times a day and various days of the week.
Use @ to help inform others you care! It also helps bring those people/businesses into your FB inner circle. – PAGES CAN TAG OTHER PAGES!!! Also remember to tag photos when appropriate.
