Pinterest! Oh my!
Do it for the right reasons
Choose one network, and be the
best (the “Purple Cow”)!
Make it about them, not you!
It’s all about engagement
Real-life interaction with your
customers!
40. HOW TO BE GREAT!
Commit!
Be patient
Involve your audience
Involve your team

42. To Recap
Your customer is becoming numb to traditional
marketing means.
They can dictate the buying process, and remain in
control.
No industry is immune to these changes.
43. Plan to create long term success, and start today!
It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and it started 5 years ago!
Begin with a blog—They ask, you answer!
Aim to be the solution to your customers problems.
Utilize email “permission” marketing to remain top of
mind, and increase closed deals and return business.
Be the “Purple Cow” on social media.
Involve your audience and your team, and BE USEFUL!
