#7. the uptick on Facebook, given a report about a Reuters/Ipsos poll that says 4 out of 5 people say they've never bought a product based on a Facebook ad or comments. Not sure what to believe.
Amen! You've said all that I thought when I read Guy's Inc. interview and far more with hard-headed insight and eloquence. Social media requires a strategy that integrates with a business's overall marketing strategy. Each platform, Twitter, Facebook, etc., are just that, tools and tactics that form part of the strategy. Thanks for setting people straight.
So many good points. I find too many businesses think in campaigns and not in an integrated marketing plan. They also forget that once they start a Twitter or Facebook page, there's got to be resources and commitment to continue, otherwise they're wasting time and money on, as you say, RAMs.
