24. Learning Hard & FAST 1 Focus on the conversations that matter As a local franchisee, the brand-related conversations that really matter to Ramon are taking place near his six Chicago-area locations. He uses tools like Monitter to search Twitter conversations within a specific geographical radius. While the overall brand image of Domino's is important to Ramon, he can make the biggest impact for his business by focusing on the local discussions. 2 Put out social media fires with social media water An advantage to being active in social media is that you can quickly turn around negative buzz about your company. When a customer tweeted to vent about Domino's, Ramon quickly responded with a video apology that the customer saw and shared with the online community. The video has since been embedded some 87,000 times. 3 Always be prepared to share Ramon is always ready to post and share everything and anything. When an order was made for 600 large pizzas, Ramon hired a live blogger to document how Domino's went about placing the order and shared it with his customers. Always be on the lookout for things to share, because you never know when you're going to have a chance to capture something great.

39. “ Our marketing bill is way under budget and our turnover has increased across all departments. We no longer feel the urgent need to spend thousands on radio campaigns, flood the city with posters or give in to the constant phone calls offering advertising space.” “ I am lucky to have a General Manager and the owner of the Highway who although are not at all Twitter savvy, trust me when I tell them social media is a great marketing tool for us. They let me sit at my desk and (among other things) tweet, Facebook, foursquare and blog away hoping to see it reflected in our monthly figures.” The problem was, like so many venues, we’d left our social media strategy to our IT guy who wasn’t really interested. We certainly didn’t realise the potential impact social media could have on our business.
