Sharing company blogs, links to company social media sites, company announcements and surveys are ideal for email distribution plus the cost for newsletter subscription services are low and the reach can be substantial.<br /><br />So, where do you start?<br /><br />Content. It all starts with content, including blogs, promotional pricing, links to specific sites and topics that could be of interest to the reader and are relevant to your company’s products/services. Remember to include only original information; do not plagiarize other sources. However, you may be able to secure permission from an author or publisher to use their work.<br /><br />When developing your own content, think about every word as a driver for a specific goal. For example, if you are promoting a 10-day discount on widgets, you will want to specifically mention the widget, describe the details behind the discount, provide information on why the widget is a “hot" commodity, why the viewer should choose your widget and provide a link for the viewer to get more information about the widget.<br /><br />It is also a good idea to embed images relative to your topic. Like articles, you need to have permission to use these images, so you should consider using your own photos/charts or subscribe to a stock photo service where you can purchase the rights to use the photos.<br /><br />Length. The goal of the newsletter is to encourage the viewer to click through to a desired Web page with further information. Here is an example:<br /><br />DISCOUNT ON SUPER FAST PINK WIDGETS<br />10% discount on our Super Fast Pink Widgets through October 21, 2011. Click here to receive your discount code.<br /><br />or<br /><br />5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR WIDGET<br />It is a good idea to maintain your widget by cleaning the parts monthly.

In the efforts of building a branding and consistent character basis for companies, we have seen more and more that there are too many companies without a presence on LinkedIn. Not talking about an individual profile - which is very concerning that over 3.5 million users are on the site, but yet millions more haven't ventured into building a profile is overwhelming. To start there, if you don't have a presence on this site as an individual, you are telling the world that either you don't want to be connected to, you aren't savvy with the Internet, or you would rather spamming sites publish information about you instead. One of the most beautiful things about LinkedIn is the searchability factor through google. 4 out of 5 customers will search LinkedIn for their potential vendor representative (or potential new hire) to gain character perspective and knowledge about this person. If you don't choose to put information about your history that you want people to see, they will find out information about you on sites that pay a lot of money to Google to post personal things such as pictures of your home, family members & so on (an example of this is 123people & there are many other sites out there who "phish" for your information & post it freely online). Should you ever find something like this - you can contact the publisher for it to be removed. Know that the most important piece of us mentioning this - is the fact that THE INFORMATION YOU WANT POSTED ON THE INTERNET - SHOULD BE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU CHOOSE TO BE POSTED - NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DECIDES FOR YOU!<br /><br />This holds true about information for your company. If you don't have a website - how will your customers know what you offer & if you are a real business person? Same with social media. If you are not "out there" and "current" how will people know how to do business with you, connect with you, follow you and want to maintain relationship with you????<br /><br />With that being said, as a business owner you have thought about a few things:<br /><br />(1) what is my logo?<br />(2) what is my brand?<br />(3) where will I market?<br />(4) how will I market?<br />(5) who will I market to?<br />(6) build a website<br /><br />Will all of these things in place, there is still a laundry list of things that need to happen as well.<br /><br />FACTS:<br />(1) If you have a website, it will have either detailed - or not as detailed - information about your products/services<br />(2) You may be choosing some print marketing or mailers for your potential or existing customers<br /><br />These are important - but what should go in hand with this?<br /><br />***SOCIAL MEDIA***<br /><br />If you have a personal presence on Facebook, you should NOT be marketing your company on your "personal" page, rather you should have a business page where people can "like" your company and follow your updates.<br /><br />If you have a personal profile on LinkedIn, you need to be sure your company profile is established as well so people can easily find you through your company or your personal profile. Individuals can also "like" your company page for updates. You should also have recommendations of your work that your customers, vendors or staff can post about you - this is a great character building piece and can also encourage a history of your experience.<br /><br />A newer feature of LinkedIn is posting products & services. The great thing about this is you can get recommendations for these products or services right on the company page - a great marketing tool.<br /><br />My challenge for you - If you have a personal presence on FaceBook or LinkedIn - then create a company profile for them both. It will increase visibility, credibility & ownership of your brand.Clere Communications, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999015008042157721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525855409325910098.post-31423140239092193102011-03-19T08:00:00.001-06:002011-03-22T13:57:07.859-06:00Time Management Tools: Social Media Series - Part 5<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPszlJN_mugd0ID79l0bfGwTEVun_bUlp8ma5lq8OQXTrnS2MQtUfFc0wyoUhbx5Bko8GfSmnWtxcPFLp1BVsHjBykulnqRuKqFXZ78seTIV9Zh_aMV5hiIcytjSEliSjfJjogMpcHVGQ/s1600/93498v1-max-250x2503.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 250px; HEIGHT: 170px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578992182107043314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPszlJN_mugd0ID79l0bfGwTEVun_bUlp8ma5lq8OQXTrnS2MQtUfFc0wyoUhbx5Bko8GfSmnWtxcPFLp1BVsHjBykulnqRuKqFXZ78seTIV9Zh_aMV5hiIcytjSEliSjfJjogMpcHVGQ/s400/93498v1-max-250x2503.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Tools are the most important key to help you manage all of your most important social sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

It is very important to maximize your time in this professional social site due to your visibility online. Your new LinkedIn connections find opportunities to connect with you on a business level because of your activity on the site. Somewhat like Facebook, but in a professional environment, you can post a status update (“Share an update”), send internal messages, communicate through Groups, create or answer polls and also embed applications in your profile to share in your travel, presentations, video, books you are reading and other applications to boost your presence in a creative way. . . .<br /><br />Check out my post on the topic here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/social-media/linkedin/time-management-for-linkedin-social-media-series-part-4">http://www.integratedalliances.com/social-media/linkedin/time-management-for-linkedin-social-media-series-part-4</a> </div><div><br /><br /><br />Hollie Clere, <a href="http://www.thesocialmediaadvisor.com/">The Social Pro</a> is a social media manager, trainer and author in the <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-social-media-advisor?trk=fc_badge">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesocialpro">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/thesocialpro">Twitter</a>, Blog and social media world. </div>Clere Communications, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999015008042157721noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525855409325910098.post-72583979664145384612011-03-05T08:00:00.001-07:002011-03-06T12:14:35.944-07:00Time Management for Twitter: Social Media Series Part 3<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsk0YmToPMJtuBqbDtYvJxdQfTu99lEZvdTzFMwYaY0gAXVMPHErSrl7WPUgfmALQmsD3FgabgD16e4PqXym7MDcOeZytRNxwnfY20ekM_JdJ5fjfBDl5Jsm-F45VcwplD3TDLJ2l_To/s1600/54561v2-max-250x2503.png"><img style="WIDTH: 245px; HEIGHT: 250px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578806041999137602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihsk0YmToPMJtuBqbDtYvJxdQfTu99lEZvdTzFMwYaY0gAXVMPHErSrl7WPUgfmALQmsD3FgabgD16e4PqXym7MDcOeZytRNxwnfY20ekM_JdJ5fjfBDl5Jsm-F45VcwplD3TDLJ2l_To/s400/54561v2-max-250x2503.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the world of posting whatever, when ever, there is a lot to be said about quality time with <a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a>.

As an individual or business, you need to decide how you will engage in this forum.<br /><br />If you have over 100 people you are following, it can be difficult to keep track of the latest updates as twitter is an active stream of personal opinion, back and forth discussions and buzz about thoughts or activities. . . .<br /><br />Check out my post on the topic here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.integratedalliances.com/social-media/twitter/time-management-for-twitter-social-media-series-part-3">http://www.integratedalliances.com/social-media/twitter/time-management-for-twitter-social-media-series-part-3</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hollie Clere, <a href="http://www.thesocialmediaadvisor.com/">The Social Pro</a> is a social media manager, trainer and author in the <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/the-social-media-advisor?trk=fc_badge">LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesocialpro">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/thesocialpro">Twitter</a>, Blog and social media world.Clere Communications, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999015008042157721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525855409325910098.post-34886934470409391712011-03-02T12:05:00.000-07:002011-03-02T12:06:08.637-07:00Attending Channel Partners Expo 2011 in Las Vegas?

We were grateful to be able to attend this year to reconnect with a few of our customers. It is also great to catch up with those of you who we have known for many years in the industry and meet newer faces.<br /><br />Qwest was very generous this year and gifted Flip Video cameras to the business partners. We recorded some of our adventure and have for you here.<br /><br />The hot topic of discussion this year was Cloud Computing. We are excited and curious to see what the business channel does with that product this year.<br /><br />There was also a lot of buzz about social media which is very exciting for us. It was great to be able to brain storm ideas for agents looking forward to launching a program this year, in addition to hearing the success of such agents as TBI with the social media solution.<br /><br />We heard a lot of Agents talk about the shift in telecom as we know it. Technology is breathing a new life into this economy and we are glad to be a part of this transition.<br /><br />Hats off to QBPP for bringing the Partners together with encouragement, enthusiasm and the always funny host.<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wzmp590epgg?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wzmp590epgg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />@QwestQBPP #QMP11Clere Communications, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999015008042157721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525855409325910098.post-10412220593842116252011-01-11T13:42:00.001-07:002011-02-09T11:57:24.838-07:00Telecom Association Members Choice Award 2010: AdminThank you to each of you who voted for us this year!
