Is Too Much Social Networking Equal To Being Antisocial?
by Michelle Salater on March 19, 2012
I am thrilled to share with you today’s guest blogger, Alyssa Clarke, a new age tech junkie who is always on the hunt for the newest gadgets on the market.
In this guest post Alyssa discusses the growing trend of social media and its effect on the communication between businesses and their consumers.
From individuals to business organizations, the social networking trend has indeed caught the rage everywhere. There has been a tremendous increase in the number of social media enthusiasts over the past few years. Social media experts have been urging companies to create Twitter accounts or Facebook pages for quite some time now. Their motive is to get companies to start a conversation with consumers. Hence, countless organizations have followed the suggestion and created accounts on different social media sites. But the major problem here is that many consumers simply refrain from conversing with an organization or its representatives. The companies, on their part, are not careful about taking appropriate strategies to get people interested. This, in turn, is making them antisocial.
Social media as a marketing tool
The reality is, for a majority of people, business pages do not generate…
Want a deeper connection with your fans? Stop ignoring commerce on Facebook
Guest Post by: Marcus Whitney
If you haven’t heard by now, dumping your website’s e-commerce experience into a tab on your brand’s Facebook page doesn’t work so well. I’m glad for those of you who figured this out a long time ago, but some people are just now getting the memo.
But just because commerce on Facebook hasn’t worked for you in the past, it hardly means that there isn’t a place for selling goods on Facebook itself. In fact, the lack of selling is likely the one thing preventing most brands from getting the full value out of their Facebook presence. Why? Because it’s the thing fans want most from them on Facebook.
You may be saying: “You’re crazy. Social Media is not about selling things. It’s about content and conversation. Our fans want to be closer to our brand and show how much they love it.” If that’s your reaction, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Plenty of really smart marketers believe that exact line of logic. The only problem is, it’s wrong.
Having worked with some the biggest affinity brands around (that also happen to be pioneers in social engagement), I’ve learned that the most important measurement to…
Timeline for Brands: How to Prepare for Your Company’s New Facebook Page
by Jim Belosic | Mashable Business
Jim Belosic is the CEO of ShortStack, a self-service social media platform that allows users to create custom Facebook tabs. Its easy-to-use interface provides small businesses, individuals, graphic designers, agencies, and corporations with the tools needed to build mini-websites within their Facebook pages.
Facebook has officially announced Timeline for brand pages after dangling the carrot in front of page admins for some time now. The pages will be pushed live to everyone on March 30, but for now, you have some time to preview the new look and review your page before the changes take effect.
Here are some ways that businesses can prepare for Timeline without throwing away everything we’ve come to learn and love about brand pages thus far.
Re-Visit, Re-Vamp or Create Your Social Media Plan
The layout of your Page is going to change once Timeline for pages is enabled, this much we know. However, Facebook and its purpose in the social media world hasn’t changed at all. Facebook has always been and will remain a communication tool. For businesses, it is a way to create two-way communication between your brand and your audience. Even if the layout looks different,…
