What Key Social Marketing Media Success?

What Key Social Marketing Media Success? - Several times I met with a large company executives, who have great brands, complaining about their failure to enter marketing via social media (social media marketing). In fact, any effort they've done, including budget poured quite a lot. However, more frequent complaints I get from level managers, who can not optimally utilize social media, although they've made a special account on Facebook and Twitter, and trying as hard as possible to the conversation through the media.

What's wrong?

From the experience of large companies (yes, especially for big companies, because smaller companies are usually more flexible and not complicated its management) what works and what fails, it turns out one of the most determining factor is the involvement of the team.

Many companies fail to utilize social media for marketing because it is run centrally by the marketing department, without involving other parties. Conversely, companies that succeed in this medium because before entering into social media to sell his ideas to the company's first, and involved various parties. Namely:

1. Senior Management

Without the support of senior management (VP or GM), any marketing strategy will stop in the middle of the road. Unfortunately, because it is still considered one eye, the senior management of large companies are reluctant to come into contact with a social media strategy. Everything is handed to the level of manager. As a result, not only allocated a smaller budget, the attention of senior managers and directors of marketing impact is also almost non-existent.

2. Marketing

Clearly, the marketing division should be involved in social media strategy. This one does not need me to explain again.

3. Public Relations

It is often overlooked by the marketing division. PR would have an important role in social media because of the ability of communication that does not necessarily sell. Social media is conversation. Unusual marketing division talking directly with consumers. So also PR. Nevertheless, a subtle approach to public relations, not to sell, easier to get into social media. Thus, any strategy needs to involve the social media PR.

4. Human Resource

Because of its personal, social media is ultimately used by the employee. HR should be involved in social media marketing strategy to keep all employees of the company could become ambassadors companies in social media. I several times found the sound that different employees of large companies with sound corporate social media. If left unchecked, this phenomenon will destroy the social media campaign.

5. Information Technology

Social media marketing does not just walk in a stable and reliable media such as Facebook and Twitter. Often, companies / brands to make their own website as a landing page online campaigns. Usually, if his web site in the form of competition, the participants will strive to "outsmart" the system could be a winner. This is a big challenge for IT teams.

6. Social Media enthusiast

Despite involving the 1-5, the company's strategy in social media is less successful if it does not involve employees who had been actually living in social media. 1-5 Components that may know and understand social media. However, only enthusiasts that understand social media very well ins and outs of social media.

By combining these six components, some companies proved able to build on social media strategy right, and able to execute it properly.  (source : http://www.virtual.co.id/)

Vladimir Guerrero (born February 9, 1975, in Don Gregorio, Nizao, Dominican Republic) (known in his native Dominican Republic as Miquéas, Spanish for Micah) is a Major League Baseball right fielder and designated hitter who is currently a free agent.
 

In 2004, he was voted the American League MVP. He helped lead the Angels to five American League West championships (2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), and was voted as one of the most feared hitters in baseball in a 2008 poll of all 30 major league managers.

He is also regarded as the game's premier "bad ball hitter," for his ability to consistently hit balls thrown well outside of his strike zone, a skill made evident on August 14, 2009, when Guerrero hit a pitch which bounced in front of home plate.

Benarkah Bumi Akan Miliki Dua Matahari?

Benarkah Bumi Akan Miliki Dua Matahari? -  Kejadian luar biasa di langit karena  Betelgeuse di Nebula Orion meledak, kejadian ini menyebabkan bumi memiliki dua matahari, hal tersebut akan terjadi dalam beberapa pekan ke depan, tercipta kalau di bumi ada dua matahari bumi akan semakin panas, so benarkah bumi akan miliki dua matahari?, berikut kutipan dari Inilah.com

Seperti disampaikan oleh dosen senior Fisika University of Southern Queensland Dr Brad Carter mengatakan, Betelgeuse yang bintang terbesar kedua di alam semesta, sedang kehilangan massa. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa gravitasinya sedang runtuh. Ketika hal itu terjadi, maka Bumi memiliki matahari kedua.

"Bintang tua ini kehabisan bahan bakar," kata Carter.

Seperti dikutip News.com.au, bahan bakar ini terus membuat Betelgeuse bersinar dan mendukungnya. Ketika bahan bakar habis, bintang akan runtuh dengan sendirinya dan akan terjadi dengan sangat cepat, tambahnya.

Ketika ledakan raksasa terjadi, ledakan akan puluhan juta kali lebih terang dari matahari. "Hal tersebut akan menjadi akhir bintang itu," kata Carter. "Bintang itu meledak dan menyala. Penduduk Bumi akan memiliki keterangan luar biasa dalam jangka waktu singkat selama beberapa pekan," jelasnya.

Pada bulan-bulan berikutnya, keterangan itu mulai memudar dan akhirnya akan sangat sulit dilihat. Ahli berspekulasi, ledakan Betelgeuse menyebabkan bintang neutron atau menghasilkan lubang hitam 1.300 tahun cahaya dari Bumi.

Namun, Carter mengatakan ada kemungkinan terjadi hal sebaliknya. "Ada kemungkinan terbentuk bintang neutron atau lubang hitam. Menurut saya, saya menduga akan lebih mungkin terbentuk sebuah lubang hitam dengan 20 kali massa matahari," tambahnya. (sumber : Inilah.com)

Belfor Restoration Undercover

Belfor Restoration Undercover  - Sunday night, the CBS hit television show "Belfor Restoration Undercover Boss" featured the CEO of Belfor Restoration - Sheldon Yellen. I have watched "Undercover Boss" on most Sunday nights since it premiered after last years Superbowl game. While the format of "Undercover Boss" has become too predictable in recent weeks, Sunday's nights show featuring Sheldon Yellen showed a CEO who really seemed to put his money where his mouth was. Unless Yellen is the best conman of all time, he really seemed to care about the people who work for him at Belfor Restoration.

One thing that has changed about "Undercover Boss" since it's debut early last year has been the disappearance of bad employees at the companies featured on the show. I use to like to watch those bad employees and see their faces when they were forced to confront the leader of their company after their bad conduct was uncovered. More than likely, pressure from the companies not to show their problem employees lead to the disappearance of them in recent shows. Honestly, if the producers of "Undercover Boss" don't start varying their format soon - the public is going to lose interest in the show.

The thing that interested me the most about Belfor Restoration's CEO Sheldon Yellen was his life story. Instead, of being born with a silver spoon in his mouth - Mr. Yellen grew up in a very poor family, with the same financial problems that are faced by millions of other Americans. The emotions of CEO Yellen came through perfectly on television, especially when it turned out that some of the decisions he has made as Belfor's leader - ended up hurting employees rather than helping them. If you are not a regular viewer of "Undercover Boss", it might be worth your time to watch Sunday's episode on CBS.com or when it is repeated in reruns this summer. (source : mhutch.blogspot.com)
