Lessons we can all learn from this success story
1- The magic to social media success is putting people first
No sales pitch
Moms participating in the marathon came to the
Joggermom fan page on a daily basis and posted
messages of gratitude for helping them to get active.
I encourage you to change your mindset and ask yourself:
“What can I do to serve my community better, how can I add
value to their lives?”
19. Open Social Media: Where we tell it like it is
2- Success requires combining traditional and new media
marketing
Social media tools should be just one part of your
Overall marketing strategy.
20. Open Social Media: Where we tell it like it is
3- It is important to have a comprehensive begin-to-end
plan rather than just starting a contest
It takes more than just an App
21. Open Social Media: Where we tell it like it is
3- Take an active role and be closely involved
With your social media campaign.
It is your business, don’t just hand it off to
an agency, be an active participant.
22. Open Social Media: Where we tell it like it is
4- Lead by example and practice what you preach
to build trust with your audience
Kelly Morse (Joggermom) is an avid jogger
a marathon runner and lives her customers
dream: being a mom to their kids but staying
fit!
Play close attention to who you put in charge of
the conversations with your audience. If they
can’t relate to your audience, they cannot motivate
and engage them.
