Why a media company?
They tell stories – and they’re good at it.
They’re in the business of creating and
distributing content.
They understand the power of relevant
information.
They are fast and they are everywhere.
Can we all do this? No way, Jose.

What are we doing online?
What are our competitors doing?
What kind of content are they creating?
How + where are they distributing +
using it?

What can we realistically handle?
23. Understand Your Customer
Where do they hang out online?
When are they typically online?
What kind of content do they share?
What kind of conversations do they
have?
Who are local influencers?
How can we connect with them?
25. Develop a Content Strategy

Build Your Restaurant’s Profile

social profiles as completely as
possible.

cover photos and add your company
logo.
● Capitalize On Traffic. Add follow and
like buttons on your website.
● Earn Followers. Share content that
serves your customers and
prospects.

business with you.

How To Take Advantage of Instagram

Yelp - YP Deals
YP and Yelp have announced a strategic partnership that will in the
near future provide YP advertisers with an enhanced presence on Yelp
and effectively bring Yelp into the YP Local Ad Network.
YP advertisers will gain access to the following:
• Distribution/exposure to Yelp’s large local audience
• The full range of profile features and capabilities associated with
Yelp’s “branded profile” (call to action button, slideshows, ROI
metrics, etc.)
43. Facebook is Visual
Use high quality images
Avoid large file sizes
Right-size your images, use rectangles not
squares
Only post links that are mobile-friendly.
You stand to lose over half your social
audience over time if you don’t
Link directly to the action that a social post
implies. Don’t make your users endure
multiple clicks

@MarketingProfs
• Multi-unit locations need to
consider separate FB
accounts for each
location, personalize your
customers’ experiences.
• Post photos of regulars and
special guests (with
permission).
• Encourage patrons to tag
themselves and their friends.
45. @ShellyKramer
@MarketingProfs
• Post about what’s going
on in the area.
• Use a lot of visuals.
• Mix it up, ask
questions, do polls to
generate engagement.
• Pay to advertise.
50. Challenge: Corporate vs.
Franchise
Early adopters out front
Show business value (more data, learn
best practices from early
adopters, franchise specific billing)
Local pages, streamlined
comms, learning from one
another, libraries of “top posts,” mass
capitalization on assets
@shellykramer
51. Benefits
Corporate brand page,1,550 local pages
and 5K+ local users leads to a very rich
database (customer service, menu
offerings, etc.)
3.8M fans on brand level and 800K
connections to fans across local
pages, with less than 10% fan overlap.
Better targeting, more
personalization, better maximization of
marketing spend

@MarketingProfs
• Set up a Hootsuite account, and
learn how to use its advanced
geotargeted search feature.
• Monitor conversations filtered by
keywords that are occurring within
a specific geographic radius.
• Address all mentions of your
business, even if they're negative.
Show customers you care.

Ways To Use Twitter To Find Local Customers
Find local people who tweetnear you
Find local people with your city name in their profile
57. @ShellyKramer
@MarketingProfs
Something to think about...
• As a general rule, use Twitter for
fun, and for increasing brand
awareness and customer service.
• Use Facebook for customer
service. It's rare that anybody will
Like a Facebook page unless
they're already an existing
customer.
58. @ShellyKramer
@MarketingProfs
Something to think about...
• Treat social networks
asseparate platforms, each
with their strengths and
limitations. Get to know
their differences and make
them work for you.
• Don't try to be on every
social media channel. Be
where your customers are.

Content Best Practices
Be human, act like you do IRL.
Look the same, all across the web.
Remember that you get what you give.
Provide value.
Don’t be afraid of fun.
Quit marketing.
Don’t be a douche.
74. Success With Content?
Be Useful
Don’t sell. Don’t be an egomaniac. Don’t bore.
Act like a person, not a faceless corporate entity
Stalk + emulate
Create content that’s worth reading – focus on
delivering value
Curate content that further serves your audience
Never underestimate the power of a smile
Understand the importance of connecting social
to business initiatives
75. Community Management
They call it “Community Management”
for a reason.
Posting is advertising.
Community building takes more than
a schedule-it-and-forget-it mentality.
76. @ShellyKramer
@MarketingProfs
You have to know how to tell a great
story, genuinely like people (or act like
it), pay attention to them, and regularly
deliver content that keeps them
coming back for more. Technology
can help, but it can’t do it all.
It Takes a Human
79. @ShellyKramer @MarketingProfs
“It is not the strongest of the
species that survives, nor the
most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most
adaptable to change.”

Notes de l'éditeur
If you don’t like this color combination, I can send you some others.
Early adopters out front. Linked data from a sharing of best practices to benefit overall marketing AND franchisor operations. Billing by franchise another benefit. Prime example of social being adopted from the bottom up – kind of cool.
