How? By understanding their different preferences about brands - and how they value relationships and view advertising messages. When you understand the multicultural market - you can...

We here this question often when we are delivering talks and part of panels on social media. Most businesses are wondering what is the ROI. Just like any marketing from direct mail to radio spots to advertorials in magazines to newspaper ads to eblasts to national publicity campaigns (we’ve done it all) - marketing is what you make it.

Content is not KING. The social interaction should...
People want content - not commercials. Unless the commercial is entertaining. The way we communicate to deliver sales messages has changed so much - but the number one rule to remember is to provide VALUE. Share good information. Don’t talk about yourself (too much) and let people inquire about your product/services. Don’t force feed it down their throats. Don’t sell where you...

Social networking is not just for the kids or the teenagers - or the college kids. Social networking is now grown folks business. Why? There is an increased interest in mobile devices for one - coupled with time saving promises and money saving deals online (Groupon.com) - that make it very attractive for the older crowds. It’s business not personal. And really, who uses the Yellow Pages...

parislemon: Aside from a few tweets, I’ve mainly stayed out of the latest TechCrunch brouhaha. These things tend to flare up every few months, and they ultimately end up meaning nothing. But I would like to address one thing in particular, because The New York Times’ David Carr names me specifically in his article on the matter today.
