Where Are Your Customers in Social Media

Kalpesh Bedsa

Where Are Your Customers in Social Media? – Organic reach has become the bane of many social media marketers. Staying up to date with Facebook’s algorithm changes is rapidly becoming a full-time job, and getting your brand message into your fans’ News Feeds without paying for it is specialist work.

Book Review: Social Media Explained-Untangling the World’s Most Misunderstood Business Trend

SPARK B2B Marketing

Yes the full title of this latest book from Mark Schaefer is a mouthful but it’s pure brilliance in clarity, insight and utility cannot be overemphasized. Written in Mark’s typical down to earth style that makes you feel like he’s in the room with you,  it instills a confidence that makes you excited to put social TO WORK.  Truly a must read for your entire staff from Admin to CEO.  Really! Read it and find out why for yourself.

But let me dispel any notion from the book’s title that this is some remedial or sophomoric read. It’s not. It is though the best book I’ve read for those looking to understand how to make social media an effective part of their B2B or B2C marketing, especially skeptical C-suite execs. Not paddy-cake play time but sound foundation building, actionable steps to determine if social has a role in your company…

Social Media in the Workplace

Simply Sarah

A slightly controversial issue, many wonder if it is ethical for employees to be allowed to use social media in the workplace. It is debated whether or not employees should use company time on Facebook, Twitter or other social media channels, and because of this controversy, many companies have put social media policies in place. These policies generally advise employees on what they are or aren’t allowed to do when they represent themselves online. While many employees may see this as constricting, I personally found it to be more like appropriate guidance that benefits the company’s wellbeing overall.

One of the social media policies that I chose to analyze was Coca Cola‘s, and I found that it was not necessarily restricting or overbearing, but instructed the employees on how to represent the company positively and appropriately online. The company respects the rights of its employees to use blogs and other…

Have you ever made a complaint on any of your social medias about Disneyland? As ridiculous as that sounds, being that Disneyland is the “Happiest Place on Earth”, there are a few people out there who unfortunately do not receive the happy experience expected. For those that don’t know, there is a prince charming somewhere in a castle monitoring everything that is being said about the Disney parks, his name is MATT PRINCE. 

Teens against Facebook

Something I noticed recently is how teens are not into Facebook. Seems like Facebook’s audience is from young adults to middle aged people. This has been worrying a few digital marketers who believe Facebook’s destiny is to fade away just like MySpace did.
