         More powerful engagement
             Improved recall
         Active involvement
         Participative for both parties

  4. Don’t get stuck in the trap of thinking this all young people and that your business is too important to be on these platforms – you are sticking your head in the sand. Social media is here to stay avoid only at your own risk
  5. Never under estimate the power of listening
  6. Anything free is a great enticement for people to use it – most SM networks are freeFrom a business point of view doesn’t matter if you are Nike or a small business in Norwich – you all have the same platforms to play on to gain business!Traditional communications were brand-led – organisations ‘owned’ their brandsNew communications are word-of-mouth led. Social media gives more power to people. Today, people own the brand. The brand is what people perceive it to be, and now, say it is.The explosion of social media also means that your sources of information are fragmenting. Instead of a few TV channels, radio stations or newspapers, you now have access to thousands of blogs, social networks and so on.They are passionate enough to create blogs, videos, and images, or to comment, give their opinion – often in their own timeThese often free applications make social media very easy to set up Sharing is a deeply ingrained human instinct. This, plus its ease of setup, is why it is exploding in popularityIts about power of the people through word of mouth social media networkingMany companies jump on the social media band wagon due to its popularity however there is no plan and not real thought process – this is where things often go wrong – or don’t quite work out as successfully as they should – many companies leave social media after a month or twoSo how can you use social media within your business to harness these people to talk about us, recommend us etc?
  7. Social media is about two things – engagement with your target audience and search engine results – i.e. using the likes of Google to help drive traffic to your website!Engaging – sharing hints tips, recipes, advice,
  8. When you create a social media strategy, your actions are more deliberate and have purpose and your connections clearly understand what you have to offerBear in mind success is down to measurement and identifying in the first place:-E,g.PR coverageSupport function in your businessBusiness grow in XXX sectorOnline salesSocial media is not a quick win – it’s a long term strategy that can have long term successful resuits – it takes time, and although free there is resource involved – with a strategy your CEO will feel a lot more comfortable in what you are doing online
  9. Many brands and agencies will kick off social media activity without a clear vision of what they hope to achieve (77% of all Facebook pages have less than 1,000 fans, limiting impact)This typically generates mediocre results (at best), which people then really struggle to attach any worthwhile meaning to, as they had no real benchmark for success in the first instanceWill sit alongside your overall marketing strategy – should reflect what is going on offline – e.g. Muller the yogi bear advert – their facebook page reflected thisThe key feature that differentiates social media from traditional media is its facility for two-way dialogueThis brings with it a number of important advantages:More powerful engagementImproved recallActive involvementParticipative for both partiesMake this principle core to a social media campaignDevelop online objectives that are SMART:Specific – objectives should specify what they want to achieveMeasurable – you should be able to measure whether you are meeting the objectives or notAchievable - are the objectives you set, achievable and attainable?Realistic – can you realistically achieve the objectives with the resources you have?Timely – when do you want to achieve the set objectives?Example of objectives could be:Increase traffic to your website
  10. Plan ahead but also look what is being talked about on social media – if there is a link there then use it – however, don’t jump on all trends – if there is no link then you are not targetingOther examples – british tomato week – etc themes and get interestAlso by planning it saves an awful lot of time and ensures social media is integrated in to your day to day business work.3 month plan – if something works do it again if it doesn’t change it.You don’t always know what will grab people – some stuff you think that will doesn’t and other things that you think might not do – measure!
  11. You might think this is blue chip company thinking however – your organization more than their organization needs to measure as resources, budget and time are all very precious!Dunelm measure and target their audience – engage with female audience – Facebook check ins mostly men – without measuring how would they know that?Go back to what does success look like? – PR coverage, reduced staff in your call centre? less negative sentimentI see so many businesses think ‘ great we can get loads of business from social media lets sell, sell, sell!Within max of 3 months they have normally given up and stopped using social media all togetherSocialsprout £5 a month, hootesuite £3 a month https://sproutsocial.com/reports/group/216266/1334620800/1337299199Three month plan with a calendar!You might think this is blue chip company thinking however – your organization more than their organization needs to measure as resources, budget and time are all very precious!I see so many businesses think ‘ great we can get loads of business from social media lets sell, sell, sell!Within max of 3 months they have normally given up and stopped using social media all togetherGoogle analytics – will tell you where people come from – if you look at it you get it – measure visitors, where they come from etc – if social media is working you can see from the source plus if you use codes on facebook and twitter
  12. Why should people follow you, like you chat with you?You can use feeds for news but it has a VERY limiting impact! – its about engaging in conversation – virtual networking etcCreate a larger sales teamBrand ambassadorsYou never always know who people are & who they know!
  13. Why should people follow you, like you chat with you?I see so many estate agents just pushing out their latest property details – be whoop! We are now getting a lot of interest from Estate agents and letting agents and running a lot of inhouse courses for them to give them the edge
  14. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search,local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.75 languages11.5 billion web pagesAround a billion websitesNot forgetting the facebook, twitter, linkedin infoIf we look at this room today – to find out about you I have to ask questions and you give me answersSearch engines are indexing and researching 24/7 365 days a week! They are NOT looking at what your website looks like – it can look as pretty as a picture but not get any traffic – don’t get me wrong a website needs to look good – but it need to look good once you have found the people to look at it!The key to SEO is knowing the words / phrases people type in to then know what to use on your own website – these are called keywords/keyphrases and I will come on to these first.First I want to look at some live examples so you can see what search engines look at
  15. Do you know what you are keywords are for your business?If so you really need to find out Its not words or phases that you think people might be typing In to search engines but keywords / phrases you know people are searching onI’ve had many a person say oh we at the top of search engines for XXXX a quick bit of research tells me if that is a key terms people are searching on.Keywords play a real part in social media so ask your website company, you can do the research yourself (if you know how) or contact a company that can do the work for you (any good SEO company) can do this for you.When/ if you have keywords use them across the board – from facebook to youtubeSearch engines index websites inc. blogs, facebook etc.Google, Yahoo, Bing have to decide what answers to give peopleSEO = having the right keywords that people search on
  16. Think about property, house, home, - what desirable things you have and what people are looking for when they are searching – i.e. sea viewProps for sale by sea – medium – 27KHouses with land – low – 823KE.G Top gear Christmas special
  17. Whenever anyone follows me I read their bio then look at their tweets
  18. Searching property finder richmond upon thames
  19. As a business why not look on linkedin – I may have recommendations from other businesses, you can see who I have done business with and also check out my website
  20. 2400 search for this each month – as a self catering cottage in North Norfolk they have dog walkers stay with them – key audience!We have also done the same with a high end car accessory company – we do blogging around Top Gear Xmas special - 9000 searches a month, 2000 extra visitors to their website
  21. Use Hootesuite/Tweetdeck – you can post across Twitter, facebook, linked inLook for keywords/opportunitiesTarget locationsTarget existing customersPromote all your social media on your website blog, flyers, shop windowStats section – great to see what gets clicked on and what doesn’t
  22. I call social media platforms ponds – you have to go fishing in the ones where are target audience are – I see so many businesses jumping on all of them and just throwing statuses at the wall to see what sticks. I also see companies putting their Twitter updates on Facebook which I don’t agree with – they are two very different platforms and need to be looked after very differently to make the most of themWithin the time frames we have today I am unable to go in to the great detail of each one and how to make it work, however I want to talk through each of the main ones to get you thinking about where you should be working your social media strategy magicGet one working well first before targeting another one – as you have seen already today its all about tactics and these take time.These are not going to be overnight wins but long term solutions for your business
  23. Its about posting content to get interaction – its not good enough to just get a like on your page – facebook has clever algorithms that decide what content people see in their updates – you need your business, charity etc to be seen – the best way to do this is to get interaction and target your audienceA lot of likes on your pages doesn’t mean an engaging audience – its about the consumer interaction at each status levele.g. Genting casinosLocations – tescosYou have to really embrace the power of your audienceOne of the hardest social media networks to get right in my book
  24. LOVE Twitter – its like the human wikipediaIf you pick only one social media platform to work on – this one is great. I would also suggest if you are looking to use social media within your business get one social media network working properly first before trying to get all the ones you want to work on up and running.
  25. 4 out of 5 professionals in the UK are on linkedinKey to success isStrategic approach, targeting people you want to do business with, recruit, etc.InteractionGroupsRecommendationsAnswers
  26. Think about what effects you want to create with your blog. Different types of post can have different effects. Here are some examples:Instructional posts tell people how to do something. They can be good for establishing you as an expert, or building up a body of knowledge that you can also refer to in future.Lists are simply lists of anything – products, services, tips etc – that often have the title “10 Top Ways To...” or “7 Best Examples of...”. They can be good for getting search engine traffic and becoming part of a blogging community.

  30. At the beginning of this talk I said you need to interact in the ponds where your target audience are – google+ throws all this out. Its new but having an impact on search already.Google is huge and this social network is going to be a key driver.Social network owned & set up by GoogleLaunched in June 2011Business pages launched in November 201190M users as of December 2011Est. to be adding 625k new members a day400M users projected by Dec 2012
