In less than a month of being in business, Robyn and I received our first editorial feature in the press. The fabulous social media guru and practitioner, Jennifer James, wrote a wonderful article about Two Minds Interactive on Mom Blog Magazine. We are both honored to be featured on the site, and are so thankful for Jennifer for thinking enough about us to personally create a write-up of our partnership.

As we celebrate the holidays, we want to take time to thank you for your support with our new endeavor and we wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

For many brands, bloggers can be a great source of promotion. A good example of this is in the “mommy blogger” community. Many of these women have enormous social media influence and creating a relationship with them can be a big boost for your brand. There are several different ways to start engaging with them.
These are just a few of the ways you can work with bloggers. While it is possible to tackle these projects on your own, hiring an agency can be very beneficial as they have experience working on these types of relationships already and will help guide you through the process. These are all areas that Two Minds Interactive can help with. We would love to talk with you about your brand, email us or call us today at info@twomindsinteractive.com or 877-576-3038.

In some business circles, social media is undervalued and underused. Traditional, old school types think it’s a waste of time “playing on the computer”. And I agree—social media for businesses requires a strategy, plan, and course of action. But simply not being online or having an online social media presence is not the way to go these days.
Look at it like this:
Would you ignore an email from a customer or potential client wanting to do business?
Would you not answer a phone call from a customer or potential client?
Would you not have a website online to compete with other businesses in your genre?
Then why wouldn’t you have a social media presence? And why would you ignore your online social networks?
It’s not playing around on the computer.
It’s creating a change to engage and interact with people online who may want to do business with you.

If you are already using social media, you may have set some goals for yourself. Do those goals look something like obtain 1,000 likes on Facebook, have 500 new followers on Twitter, or other such numbers? Those are metrics, not goals. While metrics are great to help you see if you are headed in the right direction, setting goals is telling yourself what direction you want to go to start with.
Look at the bigger picture when setting your goals. Adding a target percentage is a good way to go if you need numbers in there, but remember it is a guide and not a hard and fast rule. As you review your metrics on a regular basis you will be able to see if you are making strides toward achieving those goals. If you are, great, keep going! If you are not then take a look at the strategies and actions you have already taken and where they need to be changed or improved. You want to give your ideas long enough to take hold, but know when it is time for an adjustment as well.
I want to increase brand awareness.
I want to re-engage past customers.
I want our brand to become the known as the best value in it’s class.
I want our customers to know we are listening to their needs on social media.

The biggest key to remember about social media is that it should be social. Yes, it is an opportunity to broadcast information to your current and potential customers, but ideally you want to engage with those people using social media. That is what makes social media so popular, it is not just another advertisement for people to look past to get to the other content they seek. The social factor allows them to become engaged with your brand, you become the content they seek because you are showing an interest in them, providing interactive experiences, and listening to what they truly have to say. Do not be discouraged if the interaction is slow to start, be persistent and you will see it grow. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Which of these ideas are you already implementing?
