Social Media –
Fun and Games or
Powerful Business Tool?
-Tom Snyder,
President and CEO Trivera Interactive
The Good Old Days
Life for businesses/brands was easier
Old marketing rules applied to allow you to
maintain some control of your brand
Well-established rules for:
Traditional Media (Radio, TV, Print)
Direct Mail
Trade Shows
Email marketing
Web
Today?
Life for businesses much harder:
Markets are more fragmented
Exponentially greater number of media choices
New marketing rules apply:
You have totally lost control of your brand
because of...
Web2.0, or Social Media
Has transformed people from
content consumers into content creators
Is rooted in conversations between
authors, people, and peers
Switches control of your brand message from a top
down to a bottom up and a side-to-side model
Whether you like it, understand it or use it yourself,
your business/brand is already participating in it!
Web2.0
Bad News:
Social Media has transferred the control of your brand
from you to the marketplace like never before
Good News:
Social media provides you with a powerful opportunity
to communicate and transact
with the marketplace like never before
Web2.0 Facts
•Social networking is now more popular than email.
66.8% of Internet users have used social networks,
while only 65.1% have used email.
•Facebook has grown from 100 million to 200 million users
in the last year.
•YouTube will serve 75 billion video streams to 375 million
unique visitors in 2009.
•Twitter has 18 million unique monthly visitors. At this
rate, it will have nearly 100 million visitors at the same
time next year. 43% of “actives” say they can’t live
without it!
Web2.0 Facts
Facebook: Not just for kids
Web2.0 Facts
Twitter: Boomer Magnet
Web2.0 Facts
LinkedIn: Older, Educated and Affluent
It’s all just fun and games
until someone...
…figures out to use it
to make money!
“Who cares what I had for
breakfast?”

Folgers, Maxwell House, Starbucks
Carnation, International Delight
Krups, Bunn, Mr. Coffee
McDonald’s, Denny’s, Perkins, IHOP

the noise before defeat…

Editor's Notes

  1. Easy to be overwhelmed. But strategy is important. That’s what we do first. But in our short time, I can give you an understanding of some of the advice and guidelines we give our clients once we’ve decided which Social Media tools to use.
  2. Here’s how I position my combination personal/corporate brand on Twitter and link to my blog (driving traffic to my site)
  3. Not all just about Tweeting and Gathering Followers. Here’s how a multitude of Companies are using Social Media.
  4. Nothing like an unanticipated, caring representative. Belling “nobody at Home Depot cares about me.” Wrong!
  5. All other things being equal, people do business with people they like. Examples: Blinds.com, and Me.
  6. Trickiest of the tactics. In social media, you need to earn the right to use it to market. SM has Spammers. Don’t be one.
  7. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  8. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  9. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  10. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  11. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  12. All help in participating in the conversations, building brand and brand loyalty. Also help in SEO. Also are low cost, but do require a time investment.
  13. Where does the money get spent. We can create a strategy, make recommendations, take care of the techncial and design components, train your SM team to execute the tactics for what many businesses spend in a month on Print. And if you’re short of time, we can execute your tactics for you for a year on what some spend in a month for Radio and TV.
  14. Social media will continue to grow. The economy will recover. Get it right now, and you’ll ride wave that will pay off in spades with a headstart over the skeptics and larger share of the bigger market.
