Effective Social Media Strategies Focus of New Restaurant-Industry Conference

Effective Social Media Strategies Focus of New Restaurant-Industry Conference











Louisville, KY and San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2011

FohBoh Social Media and NetWorld Alliance, publisher of FastCasual.com, QSRweb.com and PizzaMarketplace.com, have partnered to produce the Foodservice Social Media Universe conference, a two-day event to raise awareness and use of B2B and B2C social media tools and strategies. It will be held Sept. 18-20, 2011, in San Francisco at Hotel Kabuki.

The conference is intended for restaurant operators and foodservice industry vendors, manufacturers and service providers. The event will begin with an opening reception Sept. 18 and will end with a closing keynote Sept. 20 to be given by FohBoh founder and CEO Michael L. Atkinson.

The conference is open to all executive members of the foodservice industry, including public relations and marketing professionals, human resources executives, business development directors, branded food and beverage manufacturers, CEOs and their executive teams.

“Since we launched FohBoh in November 2007, social media has grown beyond what many foodservice-industry executives have come to understand. By producing this event in partnership with NetWorld Alliance, we hope to provide valuable and current actionable strategies to help the foodservice industry grow through the social web,” Atkinson said.

Prior to the official conference launch, the social media team at FohBoh will host a pre-conference workshop that will cover the basic social media tools and applications available for foodservice operators – Social Media 101. The FohBoh team of social media practitioners also will host a post-session conference designed to help operators develop a custom social media strategy based on conference topics and takeaways – Social Media 201.

Sessions and panels will target three main areas of the social web: Social Media Management, Software as a Service and Location-based Marketing. The event also will focus on the establishment of restaurant-industry best practices surrounding the topics of brand monitoring, customer engagement and social media measurement.

“We first met Michael after our 2010 Fast Casual Executive Summit and quickly came to the mutual agreement that a conference was needed focused solely on social media for foodservice operators. Between FohBoh’s strong credibility in the social media space, and our experience putting on first-class events, this was a natural partnership,” said Valerie Killifer, vice president of foodservice media at NetWorld Alliance.

Conference registration is $ 695 and an additional $ 99 each for the pre- and post-conference workshops. Visit http://fsmu.fohboh.com to stay informed on all conference announcements, including agenda topics and speakers.

7Summits Re-ignites SocialMedia.org, Keeping the Community for Social Media Leaders on the Forefront of Leading Edge Design and Technology

7Summits Re-ignites SocialMedia.org, Keeping the Community for Social Media Leaders on the Forefront of Leading Edge Design and Technology











An example of a SocialMedia.org Member Center user profile.


MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

SocialMedia.org, the community for social media leaders of global brands, has launched a completely redesigned member center designed and deployed by social business agency 7Summits.

Already a vibrant community, rapid growth at the subscription-based SocialMedia.org created a need to move the community to a new platform that could deliver even greater capabilities. Members were looking for new ways to connect with peers, access content and keep up-to-date on this rapidly evolving field.

SocialMedia.org turned to 7Summits for its expertise in creating social sites that are both functional and engaging. “7Summits brought thought leadership, fresh thinking and great execution that have created a resounding effect already,” said Andy Sernovitz, CEO of SocialMedia.org. “We needed it built right, and we needed it built fast, and 7Summits made it happen.”

7Summits’ team of strategists, designers and developers built the SocialMedia.org member center on Jive Social Business Software (SBS) 4.5. Drawing upon their experience creating engaging communities for large companies nationwide, the 7Summits team worked with Social Media.org to design the site’s new experience, develop and test the necessary technology, and ensured the complete migration of the existing community profiles and content.    

“Members of SocialMedia.org are working together to shape social media trends with people that they trust,” said Paul Stillmank, President & CEO of 7Summits. “Working with Andy and his team, we’ve structured the new community to provide access to cutting-edge knowledge and enable conversations to occur here that simply don’t happen anywhere else. Members can also make contacts and enhance their standing among peers to better share information about how social media is quickly reshaping how business gets done. Needless to say, we felt a tremendous responsibility to get these improvements right and we are proud of the work.”

Members are responding positively to SocialMedia.org’s continued progression. “Participating in socialmedia.org has proven instrumental in our ability to research ideas, stay up to date on trends, and network with other social media professionals at major brands,” said Amit Wadehra, Strategy and Content Manager of Social Networking at Allstate Insurance Company. “The new member center provides useful tools that make it easy to connect with other leaders in the space and share valuable experiences.”

SocialMedia.org member screenshots are available and additional examples of 7Summits’ work can be found in its portfolio.

Target the Right Social Media Sites

Target the Right Social Media Sites

In today’s world of technological advancements, only a few can remain off this space. People sitting at a distant land know much about a person blogging from a different continent. We have friends whom we have never met in the real world, we know about their culture, tradition, family and friends and much more than we would even care to know; and to top it all, we often get to know about a person even without enquiring about it.

It happens through several social networking sites and to be specific a detailed information about the person is received through blogs. Blogs gives one an opportunity to speak up or write things in detail and then place it in front of potential readers.

Blogs can be a good way to promote business, big or small, through blogs people come to know about the nature of business and the sector in which your organization operates.

Blogging or describing about a certain thing is just not enough. After you have written about what you want people to know, the blog should be directed towards the kind of people who you think are interested in such matters. Bloggers need to recognize the incredible potential that social media marketing provides.

As it is easy to do so, many want to maximize the traffic they receive from social media. To maximize the traffic one can add a Digg button to their posts or sign up for an account at StumbleUpon. Interesting point here is that, many bloggers often overlook the fact that there are numerous options available which would help them position their blog and business better as per their style and need.

Responding to Top Of Mind Awareness Reactions With Social Media

Responding to Top Of Mind Awareness Reactions With Social Media

In my last article, I talked about Top Of Mind Awareness and how Social Media Marketing is a new frontier that your company should considering adding to your marketing mix.

Today I want to talk more about how Social Media Marketing can help increase your credibility through building relationships and testimonials.

I talked in my last article about how capturing Top of Mind Awareness means you are the first person (or company) people think of when they think of a certain product or services. What I didn’t cover is the reaction that follows. There is another element beyond that top of mind thought. After you responded with the first product or service that came to mind you most likely had one of four reactions regarding their product or service:

Positive: You have used their product or service and loved it. It was great and you would recommend it to your friends. In fact, next time you do that type of business you’ll do it with that same company again, because you like the product or service so much. You are so pleased with the service that even if a competitor comes along and gains the top of mind experience you are not likely to change service / product.

Curious: You wonder if the product or service is as great as advertised. Next time you are in the market for that type of product or service you’ll probably at least check them out. Or if you are currently having a positive experience with a competitor but they fail you in some way in the future you’ll most likely check out this company who has gained your Top of Mind Awareness.

Indifferent: You have tried the product or service and found that it is okay, but not great and fantastic. If it is convenient you may take advantage of that product or service, but you won’t go out of your way for it.

Negative: You had a really bad experience with the company. A bad product or service has really turned you off. In fact if that product or service comes up in conversation you will most likely make a point to share your bad experience in hope of saving someone from having a bad experience.

The great thing about Social Media Marketing is that it can provide you with a wealth of opportunities and take advantage of each reaction.

About a year ago, a local Chiropractor I saw frequently and was following on Facebook was giving out Starbucks gift cards for the first ten people to post their testimonial on his Facebook page. What an ingenious idea! All of a sudden he had several testimonials he could use in other marketing. People who were following him could read the testimonials for themselves and he could have even taken those testimonials and promoted them on other social media sites. (For example, he could have sent out a tweet on twitter that said, “Check out what our customers say about us!).

By encouraging testimonials you can build a huge repository so that new people begin to give you credibility. With testimonials, people who are curious can see that you are really as good as you say you are. Indifferent people may give you another try. You also have the chance to see what customers really think. If a negative person posts a comment such as, “Their check out lines are to long,” you have instant feedback that you can then take and improve on. You could respond to the comment by saying, “We appreciate your feedback. As a result our new commitment is to open a new checkout lane every time there are more than 5 people standing in line.” When people feel valued and believe that a company really cares about what they think, their negativity can be changed into positive beliefs about the company. Responding to negative comments can also show others that you are a caring company who doesn’t just show their “Sunday best” but who are interesting in building trust.

It is undisputed that word of mouth is the best type of marketing. Social Media Marketing allows you to take that word of mouth and get the most mileage out of it by promoting and encouraging testimonials from customers, friends and family of customers. You can then take the virtual “word of mouth” and spread it around your local community. As a result your business has huge potential to grow in your community.

The Purpose Of Social Media

The Purpose Of Social Media

You’ve heard all the hype about social media. You know you should join in because if you don’t your competitors will and you’ll lose out on big potential money. On the other hand, you dread the thought because you already have enough going on and it’s just one more thing to add to the growing list of things to do.

Of course, this is where I’d love to plug our services and say let us handle that for you, but that really isn’t the point of this blog.

Before engaging in social media you need to know WHY you are going to focus on social media. You need to have a purpose and know what you want from social media. While marketing is becoming more and more about the customer, you’ll be much more effective in reaching them if you have goals.

I encourage you to sit down and take 15-30 minutes and just write out whatever comes to mind about what you’d like to accomplish through social media. Then choose the top three things and evaluate your current social media marketing.

If you want to bring in clients under the impression that you are the most helpful Real Estate agent in town, for instance, then your Facebook page & YouTube channel should reflect free tips for buyers and sellers. Be helpful. Don’t just post your listings and “contact me” messages. You get the idea.

Perhaps you have another goal for social media. Either way, if you know what goals you want to reach through social media marketing, you’ll be able to better determine which marketing content will achieve the desired results.

I tried Social Media Marketing and it didn’t work for me, why?

I tried Social Media Marketing and it didn’t work for me, why?

Social Media Marketing is not as simple as simple putting up a twitter account, YouTube channel or a Facebook page, and hoping someone will come.

Social Media Marketing, when done right, is very intentional, strategic and qualitative.

Your Social Media presence needs to be relevant, promoted, fresh, frequent, and optimized.

Lets start with relevant. Someone who puts up a Social Media account and says “Buy buy buy buy” is going to simply turn people off and make them go somewhere else. People are looking for content that is relevant to them. If you are a CPA people want to see things like Tax Tips, discount coupons for doing their taxes, something that will make their accounting easier, etc. If you are a pet store people want to know tips for taking care of their pets, new disease threats that they need to protect their pet from, coupons for pet supplies. If you have been giving your followers great information, when they need your services, they will trust you as an authority and often request to engage your products and services.

You need your accounts to be promoted. If you have great content but no one can find you, your social media presence is going to be ineffective. Once people find you they will help in the promotion. We will talk more about this in the optimized section.

People want fresh content, the reason people watch sports all the time is that there is something new. If you played the same game over and over people would get tired of it and go watch something else. Most people don’t remember who won a game two weeks ago…they are on to the new game.

They also want the fresh content frequently. In the case of sports, there are new games often, which keep people interested. You ever have a TV show you were watching and they left off at a very crucial part of the season to finish filming it, or perhaps to film a new season…but by the time the new shows rolled around you forgot what was so crucial in the last episodes? There is a somewhat similar analogy with social media, people need to be reminded frequently of your product or service…but not so frequently that it is annoying. Search engines also love frequent new content!

Last but not least, your social media presence needs to be optimized. Youtube and twitter backgrounds should be customized with your brand, colors, action items such as “Subscribe,” “Follow” and “Like.” Your video should have calls to action in the correct spots. Things should be laid out in an easy to find and navigate…make your social media presence a place people want to come back to!

There is much more that could be done in the way of promoting and optimizing, but this gives you a start in a good direction.

Why Social Media Marketing over other types of Marketing?

Why Social Media Marketing over other types of Marketing?

Social Media Marketing has a lot of advantages over other types of marketing. Here are some benefits.

Once you put something on the web, you never have to take it down and it doesn’t have to disappear. So while it is relevant right now and can be found right now, it can continue to work for you long beyond the here and now.

When you upload video, it can live on the video sites for years, potentially forever, as compared to a short TV commercial which may have a life span of 30 seconds.

When you post an article or blog, it may be found and read today, but it also goes into the Internet archives and can be read for years to come.

People who find your content are looking for your content, generally speaking.

People search for what they want on the Internet, so if they find you, they are likely looking for content like your’s. This engages them on their timetable, unlike a TV, radio, or newspaper spot that may or may not be on their timetable.

People spend more time on the Internet than on any other technology medium.
During the week of October 3rd, 2010, thirty million people played the Facebook game Farmville, while only twenty-four million people watched the most popular TV show of the time, “Dancing With the Stars.” (according to mashable)

Social Media is more engaging.

Yes, I know everyone reading this article has probably shouted at the TV a time or two…but did the TV answer you? A engaging social media presence gives customers/clients a chance to interact with your business. Dr. Pepper posts a question on their Facebook page every morning… and guess what? Hundreds, even thousands, of people respond every single day. Care to guess what this daily interaction triggers in their brains? (I theorize that this is why my wife buys Dr. Pepper by the 24 pack.)

Social Media is more affordable.

While social media may be costly, it certainly gets more bang for the buck so to speak. Actually, compared to every other type of marketing, I can almost guarantee you’ll get more profit per dollar spent in social media, as opposed to most other forms of marketing. Now of course for legal reasons I won’t promise that, but you get the idea.

Social Media just plain beats out the competition.

TV ads are becoming ineffective because of DVR’s and TURBO’s, not to mention the fact they are short. A YouTube video on the other hand is not limited to 30 seconds, and it is being broadcast 24/7.

Most people get their news online, which is running many newspapers into bankruptcy. An ad in the paper is only good for one day while an ad on Facebook can get you a follower for life!

Radio ads are like a shotgun effect…you put your ad out and hope someone is listening and will respond. In social media and online advertising you can customize your ad campaigns to only reach those who are most likely to purchase your product.
Billboards are in one place, at one time, and can only affect the people going by it at that point in time. Social media can be in multiple places at multiple times for the same amount of money.

On and on the list goes! While these forms of marketing can all be part of the marketing mix, social media is a much better place to have a presence.

What are your thoughts on Social Media Marketing and how it compares to other forms of marketing? We’d love to have you join our conversation on Facebook.

What is the cost of Social Media Marketing?

What is the cost of Social Media Marketing?

(Watch this post on: YouTube)

How Costly is Do-It-Yourself Social Media Marketing?

The answer: Just as with other types of marketing, there really is no end to the money you could spend on social media marketing. It all depends on what you want, on how much you want.
Many of the social media sites have free registration and don’t charge you to submit content.

“Great,”you think, “that means I should be able to get social media checked off my list inexpensively and move on to the next thing.” The problem with this is that good and profitable social media is not a one time marketing campaign, nor is it as simple as putting up a Facebook page but never updating or optimizing it and saying you have a “social media presence.” This would be equivalent to me saying I’m in the furniture business because I have a couch in our office waiting room. (Reference my recent article, “I Tried Social Media Marketing And It Didn’t Work For Me, Why?”)

I recently read a comment on Linked In where the commenter said they didn’t consider knowing how to set up a Facebook page and a Twitter account a real job. The response I instantly thought of was, “If only it was that easy.” Social Media Marketing is intense and ongoing. People often underestimate the cost of do-it-yourself social media marketing

Here are some things that will cost you both time and money, but that you should consider if you are going to pursue social media marketing.

Production & Optimization:

Creating Accounts

Status Sites – We usually set up 10-12 status site accounts for our clients, including a Facebook Page and Twitter account, among others. (Accounts are usually free, your time to set them up costs ??)

Video Sites – We usually set up 10-12 Video Site accounts for our clients, including Youtube among others. (Accounts are usually free, your time to set them up costs ??)

Blogs & Article Sites – We usually set up a custom blog with WordPress and 10-12 Article Sites. (Most accounts are free. You may want to host your blog though, which is about -/month)

Website – We usually review our clients websites for optimization. (Depends on the site, 0 – 00, -0/monthly)

Places – Setting up and optimizing places for your search engine ranking. (0-00 Setup, 0-0/monthly)

Optimize above mentioned accounts

Graphic Design – For backgrounds on sites like YouTube & Twitter, as well as welcome pages such as a Facebook page. (-/hr)

Profile Creation – Create full bios, and other profile content for each account. (Your time to create info + content/grammatical review if you want)

Layouts / Design – Arranging layouts on accounts and blogs efficiently so the customer feels at home. (Time + Know-how + plus any template purchase or graphic design costs)

Generate Material

Generate Video for Video Sites – (Depends on what type of videos you are producing, 0/hr & up)

Generate Articles for Blog and Article Sites – ( & up /per article)

Generate frequent Status Updates – (Your Time for writing & submitting + plus knowing how to write good status updates)

Generate Promotional and Incentive Material, such as coupons, discounts, specials, etc – (Cost of discount + coupon design + submission/coordination with overall campaign)

Uploading Material

Uploading video to video sites – (Your time)

Submitting articles to your blog, and article sites – (Your time)

Submitting your status updates to all the status sites – (Your time)
Maintenance

Regularly creating new content, such as videos, articles, updates, incentives – (See above)

Updating your status frequently, not letting your investment become
dormant – (Your Time)

Engaging with your followers on a frequent basis to encourage them to continue to follow you and get them to become word of mouth promoters of your business – (Your Time)

Seek out new followers regularly – (Your Time)

Answer questions and respond to feedback – (Your Time)

Stay on top of trends, so that you can take advantage of them – (Your Time)

As you can see there is really no limit to the amount you can spend. These are just some of the basics to consider. There is much more you could do in the way of Social Media Marketing, such as e-mail and text messaging campaigns, pay per click campaigns, etc.

Social Media Marketing is like any other industry, real estate for example. You could try to sell your house by yourself, but why would you when you could hire a real estate agent who is an expert in that area and will likely get more bang for your buck. (Over 80% of people who attempt to sell their homes themselves end up listing their home with a real estate agent.)

If you’re excited about the opportunities of social media marketing, but don’t feel confident enough, or you’re to busy to tackle it on your own, we’d love to help with a free consultation. Or if you want to tackle this on your own, we offer a free white paper to help you get started, which you can find at our website. (http://BeSightedSocialMarketing.com)
