In fact, social media can be MORE transformative for a B2B company than a B2C company. Creating and calibrating a social media strategy for any company should follow the same process. Size Doesn’t Matter I’m also often asked about how social media execution differs between large and small companies.

Very relevant to this event. This suggestion is a little late, but it would be interesting to explore how both consumers and brands/companies will keep track of all their communications as social media continues to explode, as well as go mobile. I’m not surprised coming from a smart, tech savvy guy like you.

However the Wyoming based company they bought back in 2006 ( Brunton ) has been very active. While I might have expected more from a brand whose parent company is so heavily engaged in social media (Fiskars) but it’s nice to see Brunton leading the charge with Gerber not too far behind.

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?

While my social media speaking engagements vary enough that I alter my material quite a bit from event to event, there is definitely a batch of one liners that I tend to incorporate. Event attendees often ask me if I have them written down, and I never have, until now. Social media allows big companies to act small again.

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.

Crowdsourcing has become more and more popular with private companies, non-profit organizations, and even government agencies. They used Twitter, so that attendees could tweet and discuss the events with their followers. GetSatisfaction provides a way for companies to do that. It seems the activity level has fallen off.

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.

Sincerity If you’re going to be seen as a company who truly cares then your apologies need to be followed up with sincere action. The real source of strength in that event is how you deal with it. However if you do make a mistake own up to it and then take action. Which brings us to the next lesson. Everyone screws up.
