Each of your points is right on. Yes, we are getting a targeted audience, so that "everyone has access" fear seems like foolishness. And I especially like the correlation to materials we'd have on display at our booth. Helps me think about what I'm presenting on LinkedIn and other venues. Let's hope business acumen wins over fear!</p>SandyFri, 18 Jun 2010 13:27:11 -0000Re: Fear of Social Media: An Exercise For Dealing With Strangershttp://dakodacommunication.com/2010/06/an-exercise-for-dealing-with-strangers/#comment-57103276<p>Thank you for this. This puts the privacy concern that comes up for many into perspective. Saving this one for my next workshop!</p>kaziamWed, 16 Jun 2010 13:28:18 -0000Re: Fear of Social Media: Beyond The Usual Objectionshttp://dakodacommunication.com/2010/06/fear-of-social-media-beyond-the-usual-objections/#comment-56240387<p>Yes! I think sometimes in my kool-aid induced haze, I probably talk as if it's magical and easy. I need to find new ways to communicate the fact that in addition to planning and strategy, the basic mindset required to adopt a social media strategy is very different from buying a banner ad or investing in pay per click. Thanks!</p>Kara FortierFri, 11 Jun 2010 16:55:09 -0000Re: Fear of Social Media: Beyond The Usual Objectionshttp://dakodacommunication.com/2010/06/fear-of-social-media-beyond-the-usual-objections/#comment-56067398<p>Most of the people I've talked to are interested in social media, but some seem to think that it's some kind of magic marketing system that once you get a twitter/facebook account, the customers will come in droves. My challenge lies in helping small business owners realize that social marketing, like any marketing plan, requires planning and strategy and attention.</p>kaziamFri, 11 Jun 2010 10:54:57 -0000Re: E-Mail Marketing: Use Your List, Don&#8217;t Sit On Ithttp://dakodacommunication.com/2010/05/e-mail-marketing-use-your-list-dont-sit-on-it/#comment-48834912<p>Wow.
