Social Media Marketing Tips That Take Your Business To The Next ...

Social Media Marketing Tips That Take Your Business To The Next Level

There are several crucial things to think about as you venture into the world of social media marketing. Social networking is a great way to market your business online. Knowing where to start can be tough. Use the helpful strategies outlined below to aid you in marketing your business effectively.

Make sure you have a set plan before you attempt social media marketing. You need to have a realistic view of the time and resources it will take to manage the site. Establish time guidelines for each aspect of your campaign. To succeed, stick as closely as possible to your plan.

TIP! Think twice about paying for a professional social media marketing service. There are a large number of firms that simply seek to defraud and prey on business owners who do not have experience with internet marketing.

Write a guest post on another person?s blog, or allow one to make a guest post on yours. Both methods can increase traffic to your site. When guest blogging somewhere else, make sure they let you link back to a website of your own. Make sure you also allow your blogger to link back as well. This increases traffic for everyone involved.

Social Media

TIP! If you want to maximize your social media efforts, make sure they all tie together through links. For example, put links to your Twitter, Youtube and Facebook pages on your blog.

Use plenty of social media buttons. Make this an integrated part of your blog and add it to your email signature as well. If you operate more than one social media profile, you should always include links to each one.

To pass along information from popular Twitter users, you can re-tweet their updates or use the @ symbol followed by their username. Users are notified of your post; many will re-tweet the message and respond soon thereafter.

TIP! To maximize your social media marketing, place a social media widget on your site. If you really want to stock up on followers, make sure that you?re placing the proper widgets on your site.

Adjust your Twitter profile settings to ensure that all of your business posts are automatically tweeted. You can also link to quality blog posts from other bloggers which match the topic of your feed. They might enjoy the publicity, and your followers are sure to like the stellar content you provide.

Running contests on Facebook and Twitter can really bring in visitors if the rewards are worth customers? while. Social media is by definition connected, so news of a great contest will spread like wildfire. The contest should be fun, and related to what you sell. A contest example that you can try out is to design a logo for one of your upcoming products.

TIP! To obtain subscribers to your social media profiles, offer deals and special offers to followers. If they only see special promotions through Facebook, then it becomes a great marketing tool where people will help you advertise through these social media sites.

Social Media

It is very important to brand yourself in social media. Use the logo from your company for your profile picture. Maintain color schemes throughout your different social media accounts. This allows your followers to trust, and know, who they?re listening to and following. Branding should be an important strategy.

TIP! Gaining a large following on social networks necessitates more than just pushing your products. Include testimonials, relevant articles and links to content your followers will find useful.

A photo submission contest is a fun way to get the word out about people who use your brand. Including your brand, tell your users that they will receive a prize for the photo that is most creative. Users can submit their photos and share them with others; in doing so, they would be spreading the word about your company to people who might otherwise not find you.

Always assess the marketplace before you jump in, if you?re interested in making your business a Facebook profile page, investigate what others have done in your same line of work. Viewing their pages will allow you to figure out what you should, and shouldn?t, do. Your page should be well-designed, attractive and relevant.

TIP! If you?re looking for an easy venue for social media marketing, you should try Facebook. Comments will appear on that person?s news feed so all of their friends see it.

Finding the right way to promote your business through social media marketing will help to increase your company?s visibility. When your business is visible and accessible through the social networks, it will successfully grow. Continue to seek information to assist you, and use the great advice you learned here to get you started.

(AP) ? Just as the St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church choir began its final hymn, a man vaulted over pews and lashed out at the singers, sending several churchgoers to the hospital with stab wounds, authorities said.

Worshippers screamed as the shocking and chaotic scene unfolded Sunday with the attacker continuing the onslaught until he was tackled and held by church members for officers, who raced to the scene, police said.

Four parishioners were injured, including church choir director Adam Alvarez and flutist Gerald Madrid, police spokesman Robert Gibbs said. All four were treated at hospitals and listed in stable condition.

Three other church members also were evaluated by Albuquerque Fire Department on scene and didn't go to the hospital, investigators said.

Police identified the suspect as Lawrence Capener, 24. He was charged late Sunday on three counts with aggravated battery and ordered held on $75,000 bail.

Court records do not list an attorney for Capener.

It was not immediately known what sparked the bizarre attack at the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass on the city's west side.

St. Jude Thaddeus' pastor, the Rev. John Daniel, said Capener's mother was "very active" in the parish and serves as a Eucharistic minister there.

"He was here occasionally but not very often," Daniel said.

Daniel said that Capener had just graduated from a community college and appeared to be doing well after getting a job.

An off-duty firefighter and others at the church held Capener down until police arrived.

Madrid told KOB-TV that he tried to stop Capener by wrapping his arms around him but was stabbed in the neck and back.

"I bear-hugged him. We were chest on chest. I was wrapping about to take him down to ground, but I didn't have his arms. I had just my arms around his chest, so his arms were free. So that's when he started stabbing me," he said.

Madrid said he thought the suspect was punching him. It wasn't until other parishioners rushed the man that Madrid realized he had been stabbed five times.

The choir's pianist, Brenda Baca King, told KRQE-TV that the attacker was looking at the lead soloist. "I just remember seeing him hurdle over the pews, hurdle over people and run (toward) us and I thought, 'Oh my God, this is not good,'" Baca King said.

Daniel said he didn't see the attack because he had turned his back away from the congregation in order to return the sacrament in the tabernacle.

Archbishop of Santa Fe Michael Sheehan released a statement Sunday afternoon saying he was saddened by the attack.

"This is the first time in my 30 years serving as archbishop in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and as bishop of Lubbock, that anything like this has occurred," Sheehan said. "I pray for all who have been harmed, their families, the parishioners and that nothing like this will ever happen again," Sheehan said.

Daniel said Mass schedule has resumed at the church. A 6 p.m. Monday Mass is scheduled at the 3,000 member church, he said.

All major-league team websites are laid out much the same, and by checking the pull-down menus under ?Schedule? you will find a rundown for ?Promotions and Giveaways? or ?Promotions and Special Events.? In virtually every case there is information about how many of any giveaway item will be available, which can be important to know in planning how early to get to the ballpark, since it?s first come, first serve.

Quantities generally vary between 5,000 to 25,000. Some items are just for kids, such as the Wiffle Ball set the Phillies give away. Others are for adults, such as the 5,000 fishing lures handed out by the Minnesota Twins.

The Phillies believe that any fan in the specified age category is entitled to the giveaway regardless of what time they arrive for the game.? The Seattle Mariners, similarly, say that even their most popular items are available at the gates for an hour or so after they open.

Tesla Motors Partners With Wells Fargo And US Bank To Finance Model S Electric Cars

8508700628_c20d39d41c_zToday, Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors?announced a plan to allow consumers to finance its Model S Electric cars, thanks to a partnership with Wells Fargo and US Bank. The company says that this is a new kind of financing product that “combines the surety and comfort of ownership with all the advantages of a traditional lease.” So while this isn’t a straight-up lease, this is a hybrid that is as close to owning one of these cars as you’re going to get without paying cash for it. The “true net out of pocket cost” for a Model S with this deal is less than $500. After three years you’ll be able to turn the car in for cash or equivalent trade-in. Here’s how it works, it’s not as complicated as it sounds, but it is pretty genius math and marketing: US Bank and Wells Fargo have agreed to provide 10 percent down financing for purchase of a Model S (on approved credit). The 10 percent down payment is covered or more than covered by US Federal and state tax credits ranging from $7,500 to $15,000. New Jersey, Washington and DC also have no sales tax for electric vehicles. These advantages are not available when leasing. When considering the savings from using electricity instead of gasoline, depreciation benefits and other factors, the true net out of pocket cost to own a mid-range Model S drops to less than $500 per month. After 36 months, you have the right, but not the obligation, to sell your Model S to Tesla for the same residual value percentage as the iconic Mercedes S Class, one of the finest premium sedans in the world, made by Daimler (also a Tesla partner and investor). Not only is Tesla guaranteeing that resale value, but Tesla CEO Elon Musk is personally standing behind that guarantee to give customers absolute peace of mind about the value of the asset they are purchasing. If you want to keep the car after three years, you simply continue making payments for another two years. The advantage to this approach is that you’re never locked in like a lease and that consumers are “building equity” in their vehicle, Musk explained during the conference call today. Tesla has updated its website and offers more details on the program, along with a pricing calculator based on where you live: The announcement came along with a video
