YOUR THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL?
THE SHIFT TO SOCIAL BUSINESS
“The world's leading companies are realizing that a solid grasp of social technologies and social platforms, along with the concepts of
authenticity, transparency, and trust will become critical to building global brands,
transforming product development, enabling real-time customer service, and fostering
social collaboration with customers and key stakeholders.”-Beverly Macy
CEO, Gravity Summit LLC
THE SHIFT TO SOCIAL BUSINESS
Bottom Line: Social Business is all about removing
communication barriers and deepening relationships with
customers.
FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS
FIVE WAYS TO MARKET YOUR BRAND ON FACEBOOK:
1. USE PHOTOS & VIDEOS
2. LIKES3. FACEBOOK
QUESTIONS4. FACEBOOK PLACES5. GROUPS
“Thoughtful and engaging photos are a critical component to our Facebook Page,” says Joel Frey,
Travelocity’s senior public relations manager. “When the Roaming Gnome attends an event like
the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, our social media team definitely wants our fans to chuckle at his antics, but we also want them to imagine themselves taking a balloon ride one day and, hopefully, using Travelocity to help them turn
that dream into reality.”
Consumer Review Groups: Invite members to participate in private group sessions via the New Groups. It’s a win-win for both parties because participants will feel more at home in a familiar environment, which may make them more likely to participate and provide higher quality feedback.
Event Groups: If you host networking events, conferences or seminars, consider letting participants know prior to, or following, the event that you’ve created a group for further discussion.
Live Chats: New Groups feature group chat. Brands and marketers that maintain groups should consider inviting company figureheads to participate with customers and fans in live group chats. You could either schedule live chats or have a recognizable personality drop in unannounced.

Your goal, by and large, should be to inspire in-store customers to share the “I was here” message with a place checkin that gets distributed to their Facebook friends and posted to your Place Page.

If you can get into the minds and lives of the people you’re trying to serve, you’ll have a better idea of what your customer wants.”-Mashable
