you might want to add a slide/topic on this day: downloading photoshop trial version, if nothing else, a link for the pdf
i come to this as more of a grouchy consumer than someone who knows anything about marketing. advertising can be and is often ignored. i dont look at it. so why listen to me? because my family and i are your potential customers. this may be a generational shift. traditional advertising doesn't get to me. i don't have a tv, dont read the newspaper, dont subscribe to any magazines, dont listen to radio, but i am on the internet all day every day. What does interest me is CONVERSATIONS and MAKING CONNECTIONS with people that share my interests or who can teach me something new. i believe that the emergence of social marketing represents a major paradigm shift that will force business to get their message out in new ways. I believe it is a mistake to bring many of the assumptions of traditional marketing into the social realm.
introduce the café’s twitter page. you could look at other businesses on twitter. are they engaging their audience? don’t use Social Media for the wrong reasons you have to decide what kind of approach is appropriate for your kind of business become involved in the ongoing dialogue and stay involved. be friendly, ask questions this approach is not expensive, but requires interest, some time, and passion in order to be successful. Building Community know your audience ENGAGE your audience. don't talk at them, talk with them. Nurturing relationships Creating Conversations
you could look here at twtbg.me twitpic.com, links to events page, recent press release keep awareness of your business injected into the minds of your community. dont let them forget about you, and help them visualize/imagine what is happening there. describe products in detail provide pics or movies reference more extensive materials, such as your website, press releases, photo spreads, etc post music
look at some RTs what *value* does following you bring to your customers? act as a passer-on of valuable information to your community. eg: retweet twitter deals and coupon codes customer surveys favorite important tweets or make a list ask your customers for their opinion on your development alerts
be aware of the timing of your message broadcasts

Twitseeker Twitter Karma you already have loyal customers, how do you get new ones? the strength and following of your social media presence depends on your type of business and the passion (group mentality) of your followers broadcasting for a concert venue is a different animal altogether than who should you follow? different approaches. who should know about your business that doesn't already? follow your competitors
