If businesses using Twitter promote the fact that you can get Twitter mssgs. forwarded to any text capable cell phone, the power and precision of it is truly amazing.

When the second most visited site in the world announces that nearly half of all log ins to Facebook are now via “mobile device” -(not laptops) it’s time to realize the newest quantum shift in the patterns, habits, and expectations of today’s “consumer”.

Think Pac Man with an iPhone and a really big list of friends he talks to a lot, kinda tight on funds these days, and getting pretty tech savvy at checking you out to make sure you’re not out to gobble up any of his extra credits. If you’re not nice to him, he can cost you stars, post bad reviews, tell LOTS of friends in no time flat, and generally just give you a big public thumbs down. You KNOW you don’t want that! The average Joe is no longer just talking to a few dozen coworkers and friends, he / she’s talking to large communities….nearly every day!!

That’s why the “immediate response” aspect is so SO powerful.

The possible CS / PR applications are nearly as numerous as the types of businesses in which people crush it. If very large companies with 1000′s or tens & hundreds of 1000′s of customers see these advantages as a high priority, those out their in small businesses, to whom every single customer is precious (not to say it can’t be the case with very big companies too) should pay EXTRA close attention and consider giving immediate priority to learning and properly implementing suitable variations of this idea into your business model.

Don’t let the simplicity and brevity of this post fool you, Lennie is surfacing an issue that is about to become a VERY big deal.

Glad I found this site, I’ll bee looking forward to more great stuff!

Having been in the video production industry for ten years now we have come across a variety of projects. These range from small ones such as weddings to large ones where a series of more that 75 videos were produced.

When preparing to have a music video or a video produced for your company one of the best places to start would be to find example videos somewhere online to present to the production company. These don’t necessarily even have to be for the same type of company, just as long as the style, graphics, and animation that you imagine in your video are present. Understandably, many first time customers do not have the slightest idea of costs involved; this is a good place to start so the video production company can give you a basic idea of the price range.

Other important things to address in order to fine-tune the budget include but aren’t limited to:

-Having an outline of the script created (an accurate budget cannot be made without this). Don’t worry about the final script at this point; any competent video production company will be able to transform your outline into a final product.

-How many days would you like to shoot for?
-Is the production date limited to a certain date such as a live event?
-Indoors or Outdoors?
-Due date for the final video?
-Will you need actors/actresses?
-Voiceover requirements?
-Music composition?

kind regards

Rock on brother.

Learning nothing from it is the worst mistake.

I think the main reason I wanted to comment is that I feel there is some hope to it. If you know, or believe, that what you can offer has value, then knowing others have succeeded through failure gives you the confidence to keep on keeping on!

In addition to leaving good info that you want to be known for, make sure of a couple of things, let people know what the value is if they do what your content tells them to do, and then, ask for interaction. Ask the reader to leave comments, ask them to answer a questions about how that will help them, and what they will do next, what it would mean to them.

Get them interacting. That’s how relationships are built, that’s how you get them to know you, like you, and trust you . . . the step just before they get to know you better or buy from you.

As a small business coach working with my clients I’ve discovered that very few measure and manage any marketing, let alone the use of Twitter or any of the other social media in their marketing.

Most don’t even know that they should have a targeted measurable outcome, nor how to make that happen for them.

This is a good article on how to get your hands around that.

Thanks

Having worked in retail for over 10 years, I understand firsthand the importance of customer service. However, seeing it presented in this way is particularly moving, and reminds me of some important lessons outside of the retail experience. Thank you!

I loved how this video told a true story – that you never know what may be going on in the lives of the people around you – and that we have the power to make a difference in them.

Awesome.

Thanks
