Editor's Notes
- Stand. Pause. 4Fs. Opening comment – local news, mention a convo, industry issue, compliment audience, thank organisers, personal bridge to audience. [Only 10% professionals come to marketing events. So congrats.]
- My career emerged from the kitchen. Cold kitchen chef in Austria, Waiter in Canary Islands & Dish pig in Ios. 700 hours in that tiny kitchen alone! Rayner (Kitzbuehl - german) Milenko (kosovo – Serbian) Sneaky Pete – (Manly) Multi-lingual in 4 letter words. GOOD NEWS. Now is best time to me marketing your business. BEST TIME to market WEB TOOLS (free) 1-2-3 warm the brain up.
- Best stat – 14% vs 78%. Best form of marketing...? WOM + Referral. Social is WOM on STEROIDS. Social media is a bit like coming to a work function – some friends, some you’ve seen before, some are strangers but relationships evolve. Eg. Vince about an FSAA breakfast. Or Kevin for BCEC, Peter (Bidvest)
- DRAW OB WHITEBOARD Who’s on Twitter...? Everyone else can tune out for 30 secs. Not offended if you look at your phone. Only if you’re tweeting. I’ll be checking my phone during the videos for tweets. And i know where your sitting if anyone saying anything nasty about!
- Uses Social Media? Success with Social Media? Move country? STAND UP: Who has a website? Facebook? Blogs? YouTube? Twitter? LinkedIn? Google +? MySpace? WHO WANTS TO WIN BLUEWIRE WINE..? Pass bucket & add your card.
- Wasting time, say something wrong, start a fight, get fired, get sued, negative comments …
- 21-year-old female college student in Seattle from Weiner's Twitter account Send lewd pic via twitter & there was a huge uproar. Natural reaction – ban Twitter – avoid potential embarrassment. What if Weiner had taken a knife and stabbed the girls??
- Are the knives to blame? TODAY: Highlight the pitfalls & how to avoid the embarrassment & loss of revenue Show you case studies of companies using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Email & Blog. Your social media strategy and how you’d respond in a crisis.
- Don’t have enough time, employees might waste time, it’s often banned.
- Jeff Jarvis, Computer warranty. Shocking customer service. Blogged + 253 comments. No response. Dell Hell. Press started writing. #1 on google for DELL. Share price dropped. Then they realised. (email + word of mouth… pre-facebook + twitter) Michael Dell came back, $1.5m to resurrect problem. Corporate Blog + Idea Storm. Spoke on panel with @RichardatDELL Now DELL are leading the way!
- LISTENING to customers now. 5 years ago: Twitter & Facebook didn’t exist, so faster now. RICHARD @ DELL now leading the way.
- How much would you pay for a tool to prevent that happening to you? Free. Social Media monitoring tool? LINK on landing page!
- Done properly can have a positive effect IF you know & follow the rules!

- BLANK OUT SCREEN. Many of you received our 1 st EDM. Toby & I in business 12 months & we wrote to everyone we knew. Written in, double, triple, quadruple checked the spelling, HIT SEND. Sit back, breath a sign of relief & wait for the email to arrive in Inbox --- DEAR ADAM. To all 700 people. Good for the 3 Adams but terrible for everyone else! For Bluewire – it is still our best form of social. 3Ps – people, participation, promotion. Mistakes – Dear Adam, WIIFM, Prizes, In This Issue
