4. “Social Media”
Social media = people.
It’s the same thing humans have done since
the dawn of time – connecting.
Being where people are, when they are, how they prefer,
with the information they want. On a phone...a
computer...a tablet...at work, at home, anywhere.
People tend to universally like certain things: to be
entertained, to learn, to save time, to save money, to be
ahead of the curve, to feel inspired, to help others, to
share, to grow.
How does your strategy fit into the humanness of marketing?
5. Social Media Increases “Serendipity” and
Control of Brand
“If you want more luck,
take more chances.
Be more active.
Show up more often.”
~ Brian Tracy
(good summary of Social Media)
6. Visibility & Connectivity at AllTimes
We “ShareThis”
We talk about what we like (or don’t like)
We are mobile
Consider a Responsive Design Site

17. People You andYour Organization
• What do they see?
• Is your expertise, experience,
and credibility showing?
• Social Media helps make sure
it is.
18. Facebook Right Now
• Social media is the new “Word of Mouth”
• Things are discovered, reviewed, shared and recommended in
real time
• Credibility is developed by being visible as an expert
• Familiarity and trust are created through ongoing interaction, in
many places, many ways
• Customer service is greatly enhanced by the ability to
immediately interact and connect
• Companies are expected to be on social media and to present
unique, exclusive content
19. Conversational (Social) and Other-Focused
• Remember the “social” piece – the more interactive, the more
results
• Try to keep the conversation 80-90% about what interestsTHEM
and only 10-20% about your organization
• Sharing content that is relevant, helpful and useful to people who
might buy or use your product or service will drive connections
20. Facebook: It’s Personal (& Entertainment)
• Entertainment focus
• Photos and videos increase
engagement
• Appeal broadly to human
interests
• Contests and promotions do
well*
• Updates do not need to be
about your organization
• Show your personality
*Third-party services like Offerpop, Woobox, Shoutlet, Wildfire, etc. are
good options for running contests – FB has specific promotion and
contest rules: https://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php
