    So true, and what’s perhaps even more devastating is that there’s been so little support to help the community rebuild. promotional event company

Life Expectancy of Digital Content, with a Twist

Image
When I first saw this chart, I thought "what a great graphic to share with clients and include on presentations!"  But as I studied it in more detail, I liked part of what I saw, but for the rest, I thought "oh hell no!"  Let me explain. It was the blog life expectancy that first resonated with me... it felt right on!   Google and Bing make for a strong argument that content marketing, including converting social media posts into a solid blog posting, ensures that a digital marketing campaign will have a strong impact in both the short-term and long-term for a client.  2 years for a blog entry is a solid component to the digital marketing mix! For most of the other social media post's life expectancy estimates, I concur... but for Facebook , I do think it's important to point out that with their broad yet detailed member data, using their Audience Builder to hyper-target your exact customer demographic is second to none in digital marketing today.  Wh...

How Do You Select LGBT Media For Your Marketing Mix in 2018?

Image
Have you seen the trend where most media companies today spend all of their marketing time speaking about themselves? Take a look at their social media activity... is their main goal to simply drive traffic back to their website, and from their website, promote their advertisers?  Or are they actively promoting their advertisers directly from their social media activity?  The answers to these questions will help you determine which LGBT media company, blogger or influencer is right for you.  Not only are you asking yourself if they're well aligned with your brand.  You should also be asking yourself if they are bringing you, the advertiser, along with them as a partner on their daily journey, as they share, comment, like, post status updates, photos and videos. When they do talk about you, are they connecting their posts to your business profile?  Are they hashtagging their posts with relevant tags that ensure their message about you is being seen by ...

Facebook was our Social Media Adolescence but Twitter is where our Social Media Adult Life Will Reside

Image
Look at Facebook as wonderful, safe small-town America... not a lot of bad things happen there, but lots of good sure does pass by Main Street every day (think the Facebook Newsfeed).  Your Facebook village can only have 5,000 residents, and new ideas can really only permeate ever so slightly via Facebook business pages and groups you're a part of. The rest does not make it past the town line. Now don't get me wrong... Facebook was a great place to grow up, where we all mastered the art of commenting, liking and sharing (being engaged).  Look at Twitter as the urban face of social media today... it's the BIG CITY!  It's where you can jump in with both feet and be surrounded by millions instantaneously.  At first it's loud, it's noisy and it's confusing.  But then, over time, you start to make sense of it all and your surroundings.  You start to make friends and you start to listen both to people who think like you, as well as others with varying opini...
