I've got a new term of the week - Social Ostrich - referring to those who still have their head in the sand regarding the uses and benefits of social media in driving brand recognition and sales.
Ha, awesome isn't it?
No I didn't think of it myself, I found it somewhere on the internet.
Whew,
What a great annual conference last week ! You should have been there.
TIANB launched their new website - it's also awesome - check it out here.
And A Couple of Chicks did a great social media boot camp ... yeah there were other speakers but I'm only interested in the technology related ones :)
I brought back a terrible nasty cold and so this week has been almost a complete write off but before it ended I did want to share one great tip - Google Local Business or Google Places or whatever name they give it this week ;-) Point is, create your account now and get a free detailed listing in Google search results that is mobile friendly !
www.google.ca/lbc
Excellent for those who can't afford a mobile website, excellent for helping customers find your phone number, physical address, quick photo, and other details without having to load up your website.
It's like as amazing as the Yellow pages were when they first came out. Remember??? Does anyone remember life before the Yellow pages? Well I'm sure folks were amazed to have all that information at their fingertips and in one location.
Remember party lines ... my mom had a party line growing up, she used to say that the lady across the street would listen in on her and her boyfriend. And now all kids have their own phone, and a cellular phone at that !
When I was a kid - I WAS the TV remote !
I'm starting to ramble now, must be the cold medicine.
Anyways your homework til next post is to create a Google Place for your business.
Welcome June,
Beth
