Editor's Notes
- • WELCOME • My background o I spent 13 years of my life in the Chippewa Correctional Facility…as an employee. After approximately 3 days on the job, I knew that I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life in that environment. I always felt that I had so much more to offer, if I just got the chance. o My background in marketing is largely as a consumer and I never want to lose that perspective. ♣ I would enter a business and immediately think of the ways that they could improve, and also note things they did right. I didn’t even own a computer until I was the age of 30, and didn’t have a cell phone until 3 years ago. (My wife wishes that I didn’t have one now, but that’s an issue for a different kind of session.) My point being, don’t think that you can’t get up to speed if you want to get educated quickly o For 100 years business only had one option for communicating to consumers. Talking AT you via traditional media channels. o This has changed with the dawn of social media ♣ Word of mouth, instant connection o Social media is based upon actual relationships, and that fact that consumers are willing to connect with your brand on a personal level, should excite the crap out of you. o Perhaps you are thinking, but this is Sault Ste Marie! This doesn’t scale to our market. You couldn’t be more wrong. ♣ There are about as many people in SSM using Facebook, as there are vehicles in this city. How many of your customers drive? o Social media represents the largest culture shift in our lifetimes. Some of you are looking at me as a kid, and others as a fat old guy. I’m actually in the middle somewhere ♣ The other day I saw a 1 or 2 year old using an ipad. ♣ It’s not just the young people either. Soap operas are going out of business because of people like my Mom. Instead of watching who came back from the dead and married their daughter, she’s pulling hits while playing Mafia Wars like she’s Tony Soprano. Don’t laugh, I’m dead serious.
- 95% Of time online, spent on social media sites Maybe you don’t get it, but who cares. They do, and that’s what matters!
- De Forest, the same person who pushed for radio as a means of marketing, failed to see the potential that television offered. He was a pioneer in the radio industry, and his invention made it possible to broadcast over a long distance.
- AGB tried to sell to WU.
- Clifford Stall was on the complete opposite side of history
