“Quit counting fans, followers and blog subscribers like bottle caps. Think, instead, about what you’re hoping to achieve with and through the community that actually cares about what you’re doing.” – Amber Naslund, Social Media Today

Objections to Social Media I suffer from information overload already. So much of what's discussed online is

meaningless. I don't have the time to contribute and moderate Our stakeholders don't use this stuff, the

learning curve limits its usefulness to geeks. Communicators [bloggers, tweeters] are so

fickle, better to stay unengaged than risk random brand damage. We don't want hostile comments left about us on any forum we've legitimized.

Marshall Kirkpatrick




Objections to Social Media Traditional media and audiences are still bigger,

we'll do new stuff when they do. There are so many tools that are similar, I can't

tell where to invest my time so I don't use any of it at all.

That stuff's fine for sexy brands, but we sell unsexy stuff and are known for stability more than chasing the flavor-of-the-month. We're doing just fine with the tools we've got, thanks.

So what is marketing anyway?




marketing and social media

``the exchange of goods for an agreed sum of money`` www.wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

``Marketing is the process by which companies determine what products or services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to use in sales, communications and business development...`` www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing




marketing and social media

Social media are highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques used for social interaction.

Social media is about dialogue, not monologue.

A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND TARGET AUDIENCES

“Y” is your Market – this is where the conversations take place.

Area “A” represents your company, the people supplying the market. We call that “The Internal Conversation”.

Area “B” represents the people in the market who are not making, but buying. We call that “The External Conversation”.

The more porous your membrane (”x”), the easier it is for the internal conversation to inform and align with the external conversation, and vice versa.
