Update from SMCpros 

Tyler Olson Social Media World
By Tyler Olson





A lot is changing in the world of Social Media:

  • Facebook just went through another re-design (How do you feel about it?)

  • Facebook surpassed 400 MILLION users with over 200 million logging in almost daily according to Facebook

  • LinkedIn surpassed 60 million users this past week

  • An increasing number of Social Media tracking and integration tools are coming out - which we are testing for your potential use some day.

  • Google Buzz just hit the streets creating a storm regarding people's privacy.

We are keeping tabs on everything going on in Social Media so that you do not have to! Yes, your target market uses these tools. And there is an increasing number of social media success stories out there.

For those of you who are ready to finally jump into Social Media, we are providing a free hour and a half corporate social media training session (retail value of $895!) if you sign-up for our Social Media Assessment by the end of February.

The Social Media Assessment is where we begin any Social Media campaign. The goal of the assessment is to come up with a Social Media Strategic Plan you are looking for. Do you have a plan yet? If not, are you sure you want to be missing out on all of the gains other businesses are having?
