Getting down to business with social media for flooring dealers

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. “People think about it and might not buy for eight months, but when they’re ready, they’re ready right now.” Source: Floor Focus, Nov 2011. Answer customer questions. It could be worth $60,000 to you.
  2. Café story: booking business by being “out there” and easily findable.
  3. Write down customer questions.
  4. Many businesses collect email address but don’t do anything with them. Let customers opt in for your blog posts by email.
  5. Find the good stuff, and then tell why it’s good. Be ethical: Always cite your sourcesShare on your website, blog, Facebook, etc.
  6. Limit your shots and editing will go a lot fasterShoot one video per week, 30-45 seconds
  7. Include (VIDEO) in the post title to get more click throughs.
  8. Real, local photo = activity
  9. +: shows you are doing videos-: shows you don’t post videos to FB-: you are the only who likes your stuff
