Editor's Notes
- Introduce myself, give my background, history of DSM. Also mention SLC|SEM event that is happening tonight as well.
- As the title of my presentation points out, Iâm going to be talking about social media today. I thought it would be best to define it so we are all on the same page as business owners today. The Wikipedia definition is as follows⊠However, there are much simpler ways to define social media websites out there today. The other night my wife asked me⊠what the heck is Instagram anyway, and I responded by saying: âItâs an easy way for you to share vintage photoâs of the donut you just ate.â
- Thanks to Three Ships Media for the great answer. This is an easier way to understand social media⊠by platform. Social media allows us to share what happening in our lives and different platfoms allow different ways to do that. Here is a simple breakdown of many of those platforms.
- Whether youâre a business owner, executive, employee, or consumer⊠youâve heard about social media and have probably heard business owners tout the power of social media for their business. But that leaves every one asking, how can I do the same. How can I use social media to drive revenue for my business?
- How can you be like Zagg⊠a company based right here in Utah that uses social media heavily in their marketing mix.
- How can you be like smashburger that has grown from 3 to 150 locations and primarily attributes their success to social media.
- This is the question Iâm going to try and answer for you today. Iâm hoping to give you some specific solutions that can help you as a small business to generate some customers via social media.
- BECAUSE⊠you can Google it and read all 339 Million results and most of them will tell you this same thing and many will give you lots of examples of how to become part of the community, get on Twitter, create a facebook page, and start interacting with your customers online.
- Youâve gotta talk about whatâs HOT when it comes to social media. This tech space moves quickly and youâll get left behind if youâre not moving with it. Pinterest is the Twitter of 2012. If youâve been doing any reading lately online about social media you probably have read several articles about Pinterest.
- Pinterest has had amazing growth in recent months. Compared to Tumblr.com, a similar service provider, that launched in Feb. 2007.
- Now if the growth from Sept 11 through Dec. 11 isnât exciting enough, look at their growth during January 2012.
- This user-base is NOT the typical user-base as early adopters of a new social media platform. Much of the female user-base is coming from middle America, not the west coast and not a young male audience like you often find are the early adopters in the highly tech savvy space of social media.
- This user-base is also a much older audience. Often times you find the early adopters of a new social media platform are much younger with the bulk of the user-base falling between the ages of 20-30 yrs. old.
- The number 3.6% may not seem like a BIG number, but this is HUGE. The concept her is that Pinterest is referring 3.6% of the traffic on the web as a whole when it comes to retailers. That puts them third overall when you look at referring URLâs, meaning youâre leaving out search engines. Facebook is the clear giant in this space with 26% of the traffic, but Pinterest follows Twitter, by hair thin margin of 1/100 th and think of the BUZZ Twitter generates out there in the media, etc.
- Large companies are joining. Using Pinterest to show their products, industry, related images, etc.
- Start by showing how some companies are using Pinterest creatively to show off their products, etc.
- Get creative. Think how can I use Pinterest to sell my products, services, etc. If youâre a craft company, show your crafts on Pinterest. If youâre a restaurant take pictures of all your meals and feature them on a board at Pinterest. If youâre a plumber snap a photo of each job you complete and then drop those pictures on your blog and then PIN them. You need to think outside the box here.

- Itâs easy to use from a technical level. If you spend 10 min. using Pinterest youâll know how to use it and apply some of the creative thoughts youâve had to grow your business using social media.
- Yelp can be a very powerful tool in the social media realm to drive people to your local store.
- Going back to earlier in the presentation, Yelp is where I eat my donuts. Yelp allows users to check into and review local businesses. They use a star rating so users can rate businesses from 1-5 stars with 5 starts being the best.
- You may only have 5-10 competitors in your area and of those only 1/3 of them are on Yelp and youâre ranked well and rated well on Yelp⊠that is MONEY.
- Last week I was forced to spend 7 days in Hawaii. Even worse, I had to spend it with my spouse, and my business partners and their spouses⊠and a great friend of mine and his spouse. Boy was it rough. We stayed in an amazing beach house south of Kailua. During my 7 days there I used Yelp many times to find places to eat, etc. We found this local place called Sweet Home Waiamanalo and boy was it a hit. I ate here 5 times in 7 days. Similar with the rest of the group. Each time we went in there we spend a lot of money. We loved it. Thank you Yelp. I also found a dive shop via Yelp and spent $1500 with them.

- You can combine an on domain content marketing strategy by publishing great social content and getting lots of shares, votes, traffic, etc. The trick here is putting out content that is social worthy.
- Use creative written list posts to bait reTweets and facebook shares. Then use that asset to build internal links, pass juice, boost keyword rank for your targeted terms.
