Dave Fleet

Last September I had a chance encounter in Montreal. I was in town for PodCamp Montreal, walking along the street to meet up with Julien Smith and a bunch of other folks, when I bumped into my ex-housemate. Turned out she’d decided to take a random trip to Montreal and by a bizarre coincidence we bumped into each other. Small world. Why am I writing about this on this blog?

Three Words That Should Never Be Used With Social Media

Webbiquity SMM

At its core, social media marketing is still marketing: it requires a strategy, planning, objectives, measurement, and utilization of key messages.

Dave Fleet

Electronics marketplace Retrevo this week released a new study suggesting that mobile shoppers have doubled since February. According to the company, 20 per cent of US consumers have purchased something from a retailer using their cell phone.

The Social Media Press Box

Direct Marketing Observations

When things are going good we don’t need to do anything. Maybe. That’s what a lot of companies and people do. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. So somewhere along the line, the Cleveland Indians have decided to “fix&# something. According to ESPN the Indians have established a 10-seat section in left field for bloggers and social media users in an effort to engage fans and further the Indians’ brand in the social media space.

Dave Fleet

Social media ROI is a hot topic right now, as social media begins to (slowly) mature.

Internal/External buy-in to social media is tougher than you think

Direct Marketing Observations

Interesting how the intersection of what I’m thinking coincides with what others are too. Take for example the Forrester “social maturity&# survey which wants to know which companies are ahead of the curve in implementing social technologies for both external use (i.e., for customers/consumers) and/or internal use (i.e., for employees/partners)?

The “other” types of social media users

Direct Marketing Observations

This is such a transcendent time isn’t it? I’ve been thinking a lot about how people use social networks and why. We have talked a lot about digital natives, immigrants, early adopters, lurkers and what not, but there is another group I’ve been tinkering with that I can easily add to the mix. Joiners. The newbie in social media might think, and somewhat accurately I might add, that it’s easy to just dive right into social and worry about the big stuff later.
