Marketing has always been about "multiple ways to do predominantly the same thing" you have a newspaper campaign, poster campaign, radio, tv, cpc ads, web banners, cold calling etc, these are just some more.

Although with enough resources, these marketing avenues are manageable, for small businesses, there aren't enough resources in house. In addition, to outsource requires tremendous luck in the selection process. Secondly, the level of self-absorption in these social media outlets is so monumental, what can I say? It's like talking with someone who spends the entire time preening themselves in from me. Just a thought, or two... :-) Bill Untitled Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- *From:* [email protected] *To:* U2 Users List <[email protected]> *Date:* 3/28/2013 2:14 PM *Subject:* Re: [U2] Social Networks for MV > Here's another article about social media.

Each of us has different roles in life. Pinterest might not appeal to us as MV people but it might appeal to the companies we support who wish to use it for marketing. And while you might not want to tweet about your MV epiphanies, in the broad landscape of social media there are many APIs (web services) for extracting data into your MV system, and publishing data from your MV system. As professionals and business people, ignoring this can be a strategic mistake. > > Thanks for the ongoing inspiration. > T > _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
