As ReadWriteWeb notes , employees who work at companies where Facebook is blocked will now be able to engage on Facebook throughout the course of the work day. When I moved my blogs over the Disqus commenting system, I immediately began responding to comments faster because I could easily respond via email. United States License.

Many companies use traditional media to imprint or introduce a brand to the target market. Considering that the business models of Facebook and Twitter are predominantly ad based, we better hope that advertising isn’t dead. While many people think they are immune to advertising, it’s simply not the case. United States License.

Finding a time that worked for everyone was a real pain and we were too small a company at the time to afford a licensed copy of Microsoft Exchange, which would have allowed us to share our calendars. We won’t charge because there isn’t one solution, except for Tungle that solves the scheduling pain across companies, platforms, time zones.

Coca-Cola Company’s Online Social Media Principles At New Marketing Labs I recently had someone from a small to medium company contact me and asked if we could review their social media policy. While we didn’t end up working with the company, their social media policy was 41 pages and 3 slide decks. CC's right.

As someone who works in this social media space, it’s always exciting to see companies that take these social tools and use them in a different way then we’re used to seeing.

If someone signs up to follow your company on Twitter, when you tweet will that person see it? Companies are trying to stay top-of-mind among their prior customers, and incentivize those customers directly or indirectly to spread the word to their friends and associates. Will they click on it to visit your offer/website/landing page?

When you get opted-in to an email list by a company and an email arrives in your inbox, you’re bothered by it. But, that is really a disservice to the companies that don’t know any better and do buy ad space. I felt the same way as when someone opts me into their email list without my permission.

Some companies, like Google, even provide nap rooms for their employees. The tools that many of us are equipped with such as laptops, broadband cards, phones and the like allow us to be digital nomads. Take advantage of it. Close everything up and take a 20 minute nap.

because through social media, customers are praising and criticizing companies in public in a way that requires marketing to triage and respond. All of this is happening to companies (maybe yours) every minute of every day. If a consumer emails a company, we’ve trained them to expect a response in a day or so. Im Jay Baer.

there’s a schism coming in social media between companies using it for marketing, and companies using it for customer service and CRM. Match Your Social Media Tactics to Your Social Media Goal The problem we’re faced with today is that very few companies seem to be thinking about their efforts in this way.

New research from White Horse of 104 companies found that in 86% of companies, executives are not using social media. Would a company launch a major television campaign if the CEO had never watched TV? If anything, social media is MORE important for B2B companies than it is for B2C companies. This makes no sense.

With social media, we can join conversations previously hidden, but what we need is the same as ever: a way to reach you – the places you metaphorically live, the clubs you frequent, the places you hang out, the company you keep. That seems short-sighted and workable only for very small companies with a minimum of online chatter about them.

Unify Your Team The first step is for companies to devise a coordinated strategy that uses email and social communication synergistically. If you update your company's Facebook page about latest happenings, or create a YouTube video, or write a blog post, the conversation comes AFTER the content is sent out, not before.

Social media allows big companies to act small again. Social media creates kinship between companies and customers, and kinship equals purchase intent.

Then and Now In the good old days, say from the 1850s onwards, marketing was mostly a one way “communication&# : companies advertized their wares via local media like newspapers, magazines, and traveling salespeople. Companies have to engage with their buyers, especially the early adopters, and make sure they’re happy.
