1. Did you see the viral campaign that resulted from  a cover on NY Magazine's July 27th issue showing the women who have spoken out about the alleged sexual assault by Bill Cosby, and more importantly, those who were not represented? The conversation exploded online with a hashtag #theemptychair and it serves as an example of how online media mix works to deliver a message to a much larger audience (even when a website goes down). Read my blog on the media mix used and an explanation of how #twitter, #instagram, #tumblr, #facebook & #Youtube worked hand in hand with traditional print to share the story.
2. Are you planning your next promotional push? Keep in mind that we have holidays and events coming up that you can tie your promotions into with #hashtags and social media posts. September brings #V-JDay (9/2) #LaborDay (9/7) #grandparentsday (9/13) #RoshHashanah (9/13). If you are having a promotion in September, start building it up now! Tie them into a holiday date, to make the deadline easier to remember. Also you can use the hashtags to reach the target market for the celebration.
3. Have you checked your facebook insights lately? If you are using social media, you can learn a lot about the people who are your fans or in your network. It is important to check in and know the demographics of those folks and which of your posts they are responding to and which they ignore. To get directions on how to check the stats and see what is available, google the social media platform plus the keyword insights or stats and you should get directions on how to access them. If you cannot find them, email me and I will forward you a link.
