We Know What You Watched on Facebook
May 25th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
I have friends who like to watch videos of some pretty weird stuff. I know because Facebook informs me whenever they click "play." Sometimes I wonder if they realize that EVERYONE can see what they're watching. My guess is they don't. Same goes for the articles my friends read.

Like it or not, the Era of Automatic Messaging Cues has arrived! The newest Facebook chat feature is a major signifier of the immediacy mandated by the latest generations.

Little Pixels, Real People: Which Will Win the Customer Service Race?
May 24th, 2012 by Christine Geraci
Within the next five years, face-to-face communication may be the customer service exception, not the rule. A total of 1,700 CEOs from across the globe were asked to describe how they currently engage with customers and then detail how they see their companies engaging customers in the next three to five years. Right now, the face-to-face sales force rules by a healthy margin. And it will still rule in three to five years, but not by much. The new method nipping at its heels? Social media.

It's tough to be a little fish these days. If you're like most small businesses, your online presence is probably good — but could be better.

In addition to all of your other responsibilities, you might be trying to juggle social media, which means you can't afford a sharper focus on this aspect of your marketing. But at least Facebook is free to use, right? And so is Google. Well...are they? These tools are free. They're supposed to help you organically discover followers.
Five Email Subject Lines That Need to Go the Way of the Dinosaurs
May 21st, 2012 by Elaine Reed
While people debate whether or not email is dying, billions of messages are still sent every day. You would think that with literally billions of opportunities, email marketers would have perfected the art of the subject line.
