Its called Exposure! http://smmeenow.com/2009/06/yeah-baby-its-called-exposure/ http://smmeenow.com/2009/06/yeah-baby-its-called-exposure/#comments Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:57:56 +0000 Seth Crofton http://smmeenow.com/?p=211 Social media is about ways and means of getting ones message out to the world at large. Of course for your business its about exposure. Wether your updating your yelp.com page or online business directories. Wether your adding media rich content to your facebook fan-site or blog and website. Or maybe your linking your Youtube channel to your Purls advertising campaign. Whatever your doing its about getting your message to your customers and receiving their input in reply. Social media allows you to do that very inexpensivelyand in real time. But you do need to plan for it. If a company does not have a plan they are simply shotgunning or spinning their wheels and while there might be some traction it will be meaningless without a useful executed strategy in the long run.

That being said I came across a great article a friend forwarded to me called the five P’s and come interesting comments on it as well. Let me know what you think.

Well not entirely true it will cost you something in your labor ,but Flickr is a great way to catalogue your products or services. Not only does it thumbnail your pics but it also allows viewers a chance to see high resolution pics as well. For a cragislist, yelp, flipped or other social media site that allows you to post stuff for sale you can embed a link to view these images. Craigslist for example allows you to post photos but there resolution is not that great.

For an artist, studio, or designer Flickr is a must to gather a following and a great way to exposure of what you can do.

For a retailer its a great way to have a catalogue of your products that you can easily point to and if your hard drive crashes or you lose an image a great place to easily store them as well. Just remember it is out in public for all to see, use or grab.
