Your Marketing Strategy SUCKS!

No… Seriously.

This statement is probably true for 90% of the SMB’s (Small to Medium sized businesses) in the world – ESPECIALLY Startups. And I really wish I was exaggerating. 

Facebook’s #Hashtags Are Pointless… For Now.

It’s been a month since Facebook introduced hashtags to it’s platform and they’re still useless as a user. Sure its easier to identify trends, engage with like-minded people/brands and create a list of target customers/clients, but right now even that can’t be done effectively.

Taking Social Media For Granted

Generation Y has grown up using Social Media and evolved with it – But that doesn’t make your next intern an expert.

“Would you let your 5 year old cut your hair because she can hold scissors?!” 

Far too many companies make the mistake of putting a 20-something (in many cases with no marketing experience) in charge of their Social Media channels. Sure he/she probably knows more than you do about Facebook or Twitter, but the way he/she personally uses the platforms is completely different than how they should be used as an effective segment of your Marketing Strategy. It’s really no wonder why so many companies are quick to give up on the tool(s) and not see the value.
