Do Post regularly Encourage discussion and feedback Ask bloggers from the company to contribute Respond to customer queries Post reviews of the products from industry experts or customers Don’t Write press releases. Write about something real and exciting Delete fair but critical comments make your users register to comment – they won’t bother Let complaints go answered Blogs

Elvish? Mae Govannen? Don’t Just do the same old thing; experiment with your brand since it’s a fantasy world Virtual Reality

  14. Myths about Social Media • It’s for kids. • Youtube features cat videos. I don’t want to cheapen our brand by posting there! • I have a facebook account. I got it covered. • It’s a fad. It won’t last. • If we delete all the nasty comments, no one will know.

  15. Social media can help your brand if you are smart about it.

  16. 95 Theses from the Cluetrain Manifesto • Markets are conversations. • The Internet enables conversations that were simply not possible in the era of mass media. • These networked conversations are allowing for powerful new forms of knowledge exchange and social organization.

  17. Markets are getting smarter, more organized, better informed. • Participation in a networked market changes people fundamentally • Companies must come out of their ivory towers and speak in a human voice • Companies must share the concerns of their communities • If you want us to talk to you, tell us something. Make it interesting for a change.

  18. We want to talk…not be made to listen. • Traditional corporations may view our networks as confusing but we are organizing faster than they are. • We have better tools, new ideas and no rules to slow us down!
