LinkedIn company pages: the untapped opportunity for SMBsScoop.it
Small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) massively use social media as a digital marketing tactic. But at Scoop.it we wanted to understand: how do they use social media? What are their key opportunities?
We surveyed more than 3,000 SMBs over several months - inside and outside the Scoop.it user base. We asked questions, collected behavioral data and discovered intriguingfindings which we plan to release in several parts.
The first lesson we learned is that LinkedIn Company Pages seem to be a major opportunity not yet leveraged by many SMBs. Though LinkedIn is THE business social network, SMBs still don't see their future on LinkedIn yet. They don't seem to have the time, the content or the analytics tools they need to take advantage of LinkedIn Company Pages as an important marketing opportunity.
Here are details on why and how to help them fix that.

Content Creation Best Practices & The Problem With Editorial CalendarsBen Grossman
89% of content marketers are focused on creating more engaging, higher quality content currently or within the next 12 months. And while intentions seem promising, prospects don't look too good. Two-thirds of content marketers admit that they either don’t have a strategy or that their plans live in a separate, stand-alone document (a.k.a. an Editorial Calendar). It’s a content crisis! That was the genesis of Jack Morton’s SXSW Interactive Workshop: “Why Editorial Calendars Make Your Content SUCK.”
In this presentation, a distinction is drawn between use of Editorial Calendars for content organization (which is a great use of the tool) versus content creation (which can lead to content that is not-so-great). Three alternative means of content creation and ideation are suggested: 1) consumer-inspired; 2) data-driven; and 3) conversation-led. Examples of content that fell short and content that soared are also provided in order to move marketers beyond thinking inside editorial boxes so that they can do something extraordinary.
The brands that actively involve their audiences in the creation of value are best placed to succeed in an ever-more connected world. This eBook from We Are Social presents a series of provocations to help you define your brand’s approach to this connected future, and helps you to start bringing that vision to life today, by building a truly social brand.

Key Takeaways:
1. Real content is king
2. Find ways to show EEAT
3. Repurpose across all platforms
When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.\
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

What trended in 2019
• Instagram = brand’s new home base
• Stories!
• Social shifts from one-to-many to one-to-one
• Social media advertising -- more saturated than ever!
• Huge privacy concerns
• TikTok emerged
12. ACHACH
How can you prepare?
• Have messaging ready to go to address anticipated
negative responses to your campaign
• Prep at least one spokesperson
• Don’t release your campaign right before the
holidays (or a long weekend)
18. ACHACH
Then what?
• TikTok doesn’t lend well to the “feed” environment
• It’s harder to develop really good TikTok content
consistently (especially for brands!)
• As more brands adopt/experiment with TikTok it will
become tougher to ”break through”
24. ACHACH
Action items
• Take back community management!
• Respond to EVERY comment—they are precious!
• Show some personality (but align with brand values)
• Think about how to repurpose your best comments
into other content
39. ACHACH
What should you do?
• Re-examine your social media metrics? Should
engagements still be in the mix?
• If you do continue to measure engagements, could
you develop a rank/order system to give some
engagements (shares/comments) more weight than
others?
42. ACHACH
Stats:
• Aug. 2019: 50 tweets
• Avg. engagements per post: 9
• That includes one post that had 98 engagements on
its own
• Total number of followers: 19,400
• Engagement rate: 0.0004
55. ACHACH
Advice?
• Identify your top internal influencers and work with
them to be creative content partners
• You don’t have to create a formal Employee
Advocacy program—a few simple process steps can
go a long way!
• Don’t put too many eggs in the external influencer
basket. Yes, it’s still a hot segment, but we saw a
few red flags in 2019.

Podcast numbers are UP
• 51% of Americans have listened to a podcast
