Separating Personal and Business in Social Media
| |
| How do you keep business and personal separate in social media? A recent panel discussion on social media for SugarCRM observed that whether used for business or personal, as a salesperson or an employee, remember that it's there forever so be careful, professional and aware.
A more advanced way to keep them separate is to go in with a plan and share it with all company participants. Give them the tools and guidance needed to be successful in this new arena. |

Search Engine Optimization and Social Media Unite!
| |
| Many companies want search engine optimization in their websites, but are turned off once they see what it takes to really make a go of it, to compete for first page, and the cost. Here’s how to turn your clients into SEO converts.
|
|
|
Incorporating Social Media into Traditional Marketing
| |
| It has been suggested by social media enthusiasts that by using it, businesses no longer need what is known as traditional marketing tools, i.e. business cards, web sites, etc. I believe incorporating social media into traditional marketing will enhance the ‘brick and mortar’ of traditional marketing. People still need business cards for face-to-face meetings, web sites provide essential company information and services provided. People want/expect more than a sales pitch in a tweet to encourage them to use your services. |

When is the Right Time to Rebrand?
| |
| Rebranding is much like the caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly evolution. After time in a cocoon your business has matured, your competitive advantage is becoming apparent, you know who your favourite clients are – the ones you want more of. Once you’ve been in business long enough and have some experience under your belt, you can seriously tackle your competitive advantage. From these experiences, processes and case studies you can draw a true differentiator. How you do what you say makes you different, often becomes what makes you different. If you figure this out, it should become the basis of all your messaging and marketing tools. |
|
|
Creating a Brand Message - Where Do I Start?
| |
| Start by literally looking at what is and isn’t working – ex: this email got more response than the other version. Ask members of your target audience to review different pieces, noting which item’s design and language resonates most and why. The why is important to start identifying specific characteristics. Are the graphics really impactful, the headlines compelling, etc. Then, ask them to tell you the opposite – what they were least attracted to and why. From the responses you get, create a checklist of these basic characteristics and note opportunities to make changes based on the well-received characteristics and recognize use of the disliked ones. |
|
|
Don’t Just Move. Review Too.
| |
| Moving into new office space suggests something has changed for the company. As well as updating your stationery, signage, etc. now is the time to review how you market yourself. Does your logo still make you proud? Is the website effective? Have your client needs changed? Have you added new services, expanded to another region or country? These are just some of the questions that need to be addressed when moving location. Think about what you want to accomplish over the next year and evaluate your existing marketing tools against your stated goals, target audience and in light of company changes. |
|
|
Brand Positioning Sessions = Clarity
| |
| Brand positioning sessions are important steps in providing clarity when creating a Positioning Statement. The client is asked a number of questions about what they actually do, their ideal clients, how they find them, their goals, what makes them different. It reflects goals to strive for and is the bedrock of everything going forward – the website, all design and marketing tools. Lists of words that describe the client turn into a bunch of tag lines, present both the agency and client with several options and an opportunity to collaborate on their branding. Client and agency collaboration in branding sessions brings clarity to the client as to what their positioning statement should be and how to brand it. |

And it is not just about the body, but the mind and emotions tag right along with it, as well as the “I” word….(shhhhh……Intuition!) – Such a marvelous word, amazing gift, wonderful companion, and yet, so many of us tend to ignore its power, usefulness, and all together, GPS guidance system that takes us places we never knew existed; especially, when we come out of hibernation….no matter the season.

Your Greatest Asset
| |
| One of my clients (we’ll call him George) came to me because he wanted to lose weight. He desperately wanted to lose weight. Over the course of ten years sitting behind a desk, he had gradually packed on an extra fifty pounds which, he painfully admitted, had become an encumbrance. His knees and back bothered him most of the time and he was often winded. With a very demanding work schedule involving a lot of travel, room service, business dinners – there was scarcely any time left for his wife and three children, let alone for self-care. I suggested a shift in his priorities might be in order if he was to be serious about tackling his weight loss goal. “But I don’t have time to exercise!” he protested. It’s a familiar refrain that most working adults can identify with. |
