1. While everyone is talking about social media, marketers are looking for tools and techniques to implement an effective social media campaign. Discuss “how to” approaches for effectively using social media. Participants learn how to identify the right audience in the sea of social networks; techniques for getting and keeping the conversation going; options for translating the conversation into business results; and the right tools for measuring effectiveness.

3. What’s Your One Thing?What’s the soul of your brand. What’s the one thing that defines you – and it’s not features and benefits. Volvo = Safety. Apple = Innovation. Disney = Magic.

Implementation of a professional search engine optimization (SEO) campaign for your site is absolutely critical. Whether in-house or outsourced this aspect must be taken into consideration when pricing a marketing campaign. Not only will the web site need to be properly indexed and found within the general Internet's top search engines, soon it will also need to be found by physical, geographic, location as well. Specific key words and phrases will need constant tweaking to reflect the search patterns of mobile consumers in a wireless world. People may not necessarily search by the exact name of the business but rather by general terms, (Italian Restaurant) but you still want them to find you. This will require vigilance by you or your marketing company. Success will depend upon the ability to constantly extrapolate information from your web site statistics and apply those results back into your marketing equations.You should be also prepared for your marketing budget to go through some changes as the location-based phase of Internet marketing begins to expand. Flexibility will be key. Additional costs such as subscribing to a "streaming" service to feed your site into those search results should be included. This aspect of service delivery could prove to be an escalating expense if based on a 'price-per-clickthrough' scenario.
