The growth of your business depends on how effective you are at marketing yourself, your products and your services. Traditionally, marketing has been an expensive endeavor that favours businesses with large marketing budgets, but that is no longer the case in the new social media economy. Small businesses with low to zero marketing budgets can effectively reach their target customers by leveraging the power of social media tools — Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Blogs, etc —  and compete on the same level with the big boys.

It’s no longer about how big your marketing budget is, but, rather, how well you are at utilizing social media tools to strategically construct effective marketing campaigns that translate into engaging customers and sales.

At the upcoming conference, Social Media Marketing Unplugged, conducted by 6 top social media marketing practitioners, you will gain the know-how, through real-world examples and case studies, to take your business and marketing campaign to new heights.  Limited Seating.

Proposed Net Tuesday – Nonprofits and video

I’m plotting a topic for the Net Tuesday November meetup, and Ben Johnson suggested “video.”

What do you think? Are you interested in this topic? And do you know of any Vancouver nonprofits who are going interesting work with video? Please let me know in the comments or by emailing eli@vandergiessen.ca

Potential items to be presented and discussed:

  1. Youtube grants for nonprofits
  2. Youtube captioning and translation
  3. How to convert to actions using your videos (annotationscall-to-action overlays, sign-up forms)
  4. How to recruit video production assistance (volunteers, interns, etc)
  5. How can video help advance the mission, and is it worth the time? Examples from fundraising, advocacy, education.
