Ok, so I did a little speaking gig for Mass Chapter of the Communicators Club. Here is the video and description of the session. Of course please watch and share it!
You Don’t Need a Million Facebook Fans!
Things you can do with social media marketing that don’t require tons of fans.
Most of us will never have a million Facebook fans or Twitter followers. So social media marketing needs to be about more than collecting fans and followers and then simply posting and tweeting at them. It needs to be about weaving social media strategies and tactics into your current marketing programs and leveraging other people’s social connections to build your brand and achieve your marketing objectives. It needs to be about creating interesting and valuable content and utilizing free social tools that encourage people to share that content. And of course, it needs to be about looking at metrics further down the sales funnel and tracking ROI back to your social media activities.
Join us for a seminar where Harry J. Gold, CEO of Overdrive Interactive, walks through the practical steps organizations need to take to truly integrate the power of social media into their marketing mix and then measure the results and ROI. His presentation will include real case studies from companies large and small who use social media to weave their brands, offers and messages into the web to make lasting connections with consumers, encourage engagement and viral promotion and of course drive results!
