Television vs Social Media
In part one of my comparisons of traditional media marketing comparisons, we looked at Radio vs. Twitter. In Part Two, we’re going to compare Television and YouTube. As a business owner and marketer, I believe that Television is best known for making stars and imagination; television is best used in your marketing plan to create…
Radio vs Social Media
The title is a little misleading, as it’s not pitting one against the other as much as trying to point out more similarities. Many small business owners invest in radio every month. These same business owners scratch their heads and wonder what or how social media fits into their marketing plans. So, for those business…
Can We Teach an Old Media New Tricks?
It seems that traditional media has learned a little over the past 15 years with the announcement that The Washington Post Company has officially launched its full-service Facebook marketing and advertising agency, SocialCode. The agency will offer page management, app development, social commerce, fan monetization, message testing, and advertising through Facebook’s ads, but it is…
The Power of Targeted Marketing Strategies
Imagine the power of knowing exactly what your customers enjoy doing in their free time. If you knew, for instance, that a significant portion of your customers owned horses, you’d have the opportunity to think creatively about how to reach them with tailored marketing messages. Knowing your audience’s interests allows you to find more precise…
Facebook Friends Come In All Shapes and Sizes
Everybody has a different need and use for facebook. We have friends who look at Facebook as a place to contribute, me being one of those. I rarely go two days in a row without making a post, and depending on what’s happening will generally make one to three posts in any given day. We…
Sorry Old Friends I’ve become a Facebook Snob
What’s happened to our friends who aren’t on Facebook? I often wonder, and it seems as though I’ve just lost track of them. It used to be that we would keep in contact with our Rolodex of friends through our Rolodex. Call, catch up, sometimes the calls would be too frequent and others not frequent…
Managing Social Media Profiles: Why Less is More
We’re almost hard-wired to believe that more is better. However, this isn’t always the case when it comes to social media. Social media is all about being the true, authentic, one-of-a-kind you. Several social networks enforce this idea by limiting users to just one account or profile. Many platforms have strict policies against multiple profiles,…
Social Media Lessons from the BCS
Social media seemed to be the most dominant presence during the BCS National Championship weekend. If you’re still wondering or questioning whether your business should be involved in social media, you weren’t in Phoenix this weekend. I was a lucky Duck fan to have enjoyed the experience of attending the BCS National Championship, which in…

3 Little Must Do’s for your Business Facebook Page
It’s the simple things that always separate you from your competitors. Nothing is more evident of that fact than with Facebook. It’s not hard to tell the difference between businesses that do the homework before they jump in and those that jump in for the sake of jumping in. It’s not hard, nor is it…
Separation of Personal Page and Business Page Like Separation of Church and State
A lot of us have Facebook personal pages as well as business pages. A pet peeve of mine is people who spend most of their time on their pages talking about their business, sharing the links from their business, and then asking me to ‘Like’ their business page. Why? You’re filling me in with all…
We Can’t All Speak the Same Can We?
We see blogs every day with five ways to do this and ten ways to do that—this is how you need to do social media. If we all operated our social media the way the gurus say, then what would separate social media from everything else? One of the things I enjoy about social media…
Why Twitter? Maybe for the News
Everyone talks about how to use social media, and if you follow their ten steps, you’ll succeed. The one category that is using Twitter the right way is our local journalists. That is why you, the local small business owner, should be involved in Twitter. No matter the size, you cannot find a market that…

Creating an Effective Elevator Pitch
We’ve all heard the advice—you need to be able to describe your company and what you do in the time it takes to ride an elevator from one floor to another. Known as the “elevator pitch,” this short and impactful introduction is essential for anyone looking to make a lasting impression. But even knowing its…
Facebook Marketing for Small Businesses: Why You Need to Be There
The other day, I was chatting with someone whose experience with Facebook had been less than stellar. It felt like a meat market or a single scene, so she was understandably mystified about why any business would want to be on Facebook. With that kind of experience, I can see why she was confused. The…
Facebook Profile Management: Balancing Personal and Professional Lives
The worlds of our personal and professional lives are set on a collision course more strongly now than ever before, with the update to the Facebook profile management last night. Upfront and center when you go to someone’s page is a short bio announcing to the world where you work, where you studied, where you…
Fine Tune Your Social Media Like Your Golf Game
Social Media is nothing more than communication. Certain individuals will always be naturally better and more talented than others at communicating.
