Part cobbler’s children’s shoes
Part fear of the all you can eat buffet
Part fear of trying to keep up
Part we jumped in without a real plan




Part we’ve always been pretty good at selling what we
don’t do for ourselves
Traditional marketing is about
dressing your product/service
up and putting it on display.

You’re going out on the town
and you’re going to look fine!

The timing, the look, the
message – all pre-planned.

It’s deliberate.



Social media is about saying to
people…. come over any time.

You can’t fake much in your
bathrobe and curlers.

It’s organic.
You can fake it for
awhile but….
sooner or
later, they’re
going to see
through it.
It’s never going to be on fire
Retain current clients
Up-sell new services to clients
Generate new leads
Shorten the sales cycle
What social media can deliver long-term:

Awareness
Traffic (to the hub)
Leads (trials, info/sample requests, we get on the short list)
Buzz/Mentions
Community members/advocates
Customer Support
Reputation Stewardship/Management
Employee Recruitment
Long term Sales

These deliverables will earn us:

Revenue/Savings
Attention
Longevity (customers, employees, word of mouth referrals)
New clients/customers
Like
         Community




Know             Trust
Search          Consistency




         Content
Can I subscribe to your blog quickly and easily? Email AND RSS?
When was your last post? How often do you post?
Are your social icons easy to find? Above the fold?
Go to your website – do all your social links connect where they should?
Go to your Twitter and FB pages – what’s your posting frequency?




Who/what is your content about – your agency and clients?
Your blog’s photos – of you/authors or the topic?
Are you photos tagged for SEO?
What’s your mix of curated versus created content?
Do you duplicate the same content on FB and Twitter?
Is your agency ready for this?
Do you have a social media policy in place?
Do you have a listening post set up?
Have we defined success?
What’s worth 5+
hours a week?
