Mediaboss Marketing

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Some local businesses are taking advantage of a free seminar put on by local marketing company BuzzTown.

"It's actually been a very interesting experiment this summer," said Nick'n Willy's owner Janie VanWinkle.

VanWinkle partnered with BuzzTown to reach a worldwide audience through social media.

"I've seen more out of town traffic than I have seen in almost the eight years that I have been here," said VanWinkle.

Another local shop owner, JoLynn Garcia-Tillman of Jo's Clothes says social marketing is just like old-school networking. She says you have to dedicate time to make money.

"Making a certain time in the day so when you get to work, that's what you do, you go online and do your social marketing for an hour," said Garcia-Tillman.

Grant Pullman of BuzzTown says it's important to spread out advertising over multiple mediums, and that an online presence will enhance a business' TV, radio and newspaper ads.

"You want to go to the places where your customers are, and 71 percent of the U.S. population is on social networks," said Pullman.

Another tip from the workshop was to ask customers for a review online. BuzzTown officials say a recent study shows that 99 percent of people online read reviews before they decide where to spend their money.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Sales Dot Two Inc., producers of Sales 2.0 Events, today announced that the agenda for the Sales & Marketing 2.0 Conference on October 2223 in San Francisco will address social technologies and the affect of social data on the B2B buyer cycle.

According to The Social Economy, a report released by McKinsey & Company in July 2012, social technologies represent $1.3 trillion worth of value for businesses. Tom Stephenson, a partner at McKinsey & Company, is a scheduled speaker at the Sales & Marketing 2.0 Conference on October 22.

Gerhard Gschwandtner, host of the Sales 2.0 Conference and founder and CEO of Selling Power, notes that social technology for enterprise companies is becoming widely recognized as the nexus of modern selling.

Last month at Dreamforce, Marc Benioff stated in his keynote address to 90,000 registered attendees that the social revolution is a trust revolution, Gschwandtner says. Ultimately, trust is what fuels all B2B customer relationships.

McKinsey research already shows that 72 percent of companies are using social technologies. Of those, 90 percent are seeing benefits.

The bottom line is that no sales or marketing leader who hopes to remain competitive can afford to ignore the potential of social data to impact revenue and profits, says Gschwandtner.

Other speakers will address the following trends:

fishbat, Inc. weighs in on an article discussing the potential for using social media clout to help determine customer interests.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2012

According to The New York Times, businesses that have begun to utilize social media in their marketing plans should think very carefully on what they use to determine a potential customers clout or importance. The article discusses the concept of a social media credit rating and how customer eligibility for certain business perks can be determined by what they discuss through social media platforms. While a marketer can focus on clients that have a multitude of followers, it would be more practical to consider what a person is retweeting or sharing on Facebook.

The article offers the example of a hotel to exemplify how social media credit rating could work. Utilizing a persons social media information to determine their interests, a hotel can make recommendations on restaurants and shops that the client may enjoy; ensuring customer satisfaction and increase the likelihood of a client returning.

Sida Li, VP of Internal Operations at fishbat, Inc., commented on the article stating, Businesses and marketing firms have a grand opportunity with the growing use of social media. Li continued stating, Thoroughly analyzing potential clients social media activity can help customize a business plan that can maximize satisfaction.
