Understand how you can stand out on Social Media
Introductions – what is your business? How much do you currently use social media?
Show what you can use.
undergone a digital explosion over the past few years and social media sits at the heart of the rapid changes that have taken place.
Talk around the room – who? What sites? Get people talking. Knowledge, specific areas to cover. Clients where are they?
Example – of your mum – Facebook at it’s busiest in the evening. Not selling but market in a subtle way.
Pinterest is all about the women – tourism area women tend to make the decisions in the household – all about images and photos.
Average person keeps there phone with them for 14 hours a day.
Social media and mobile phone/tablet – more tablets being brought then laptops.
Google + - third attempt at a social media. Pin in map you will have a Google+ account. YouTube need a Google+ account. Gmail address links to your Google plus account – no one is using it. Around 7% using it. Difficult to use.
Who uses videos? Powerful when marketing your business. About human beings and how they react. Will watch a video rather then read text. Newspapers set in columns to consume information. Can film a video from phone and upload.
LinkedIn:
Interactive? Take 3-4 suggestions. Compliments to say well done for using these.
What have you put out recently?
Not that scary – easy to put a barrier up – take a toe and dip it in the water.
Setting your audiences expectations
Key word is social
Need to be aware that a generation coming up that know no different – remember social media is just a tool. Looking at the possibilities and finding the extra time.

Vine is a short-form video sharing service. Founded in June 2012, it was acquired by microblogging website Twitter in October 2012, just prior to its official launch. The service allows users to record and edit five to six-second long looping video clips, and to "revine", or share others' posts with followers. Some Vines are revined automatically based on what is popular. The videos can then be published through Vine's social network and shared on other services such as Facebook and Twitter. Vine's app can also be used to browse through videos posted by other users, along with groups of videos by theme, and trending videos

This image demonstrates how quickly and exponentially information, advertisements, ideas, etc. can be spread by utilizing social media. It is also a great depiction of how a Youtube video can go viral, propelling its creator to fame, even it is often short lived. When applying the concept to business, it is clear how a good business idea such as Starbucks receiving customer suggestions and ideas can spread so rapidly. A good idea will spark interest and interest will lead to sharing. With so many users on sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, the sharing occurs at an incredibly fast rate.
A recent example of this sort of viral phenomena is littlefriendsphoto.com a one man pet photography business in Los Angeles

YouGov Profiles is the new media planning and audience segmentation tool for brands and their agencies. It joins 120,000 integrated data points from over 200,000 of YouGov most active UK panellists to give marketers a richer and more detailed portrait of their customers and the products and services they use
Background
YouGov Profiles was launched in the UK November 2014.
What is YouGov Profiles?
YouGov Profiles is the new media planning and audience segmentation tool for brands and their agencies. It joins 120,000 integrated data points from over 200,000 of YouGov most active UK panellists to give marketers a richer and more detailed portrait of their customers and the products and services they use.
Brands and agencies who subscribe to YouGov Profiles receive comprehensive data on their customers and potential customers. This is both proportionally significant data (what makes fans and customers of a particular brand or thing distinct from their competitors) and the more comprehensive data about the overall size of their audience etc.
The data in YouGov Profiles is updated continuously, allowing brands and agencies to assess consumer behaviour with greater granularity, accuracy, and immediacy than ever before. The product’s holistic approach to data helps brands and agencies to profile advanced segments quickly, plan more effective advertising campaigns, and formulate more relevant and targeted communications.
What does YouGov Profiles show?
It shows how every single panel member interacts and engages with traditional (TV, radio, press, print) and new media (online, social, mobile) channels. This connected data is unique to the research industry and it means YouGov clients can mine its huge seam of information in real-time and understand more about their audiences than ever before.
The information in the tool ranges from demographic and lifestyle data to consumer and brand information (such as where people shop and what type of car they own), which can be analysed against consumers’ complete media consumption. The power of YouGov methodology allows it to collect the long tail of personal attributes, including in more niche areas (such as their musical preferences) and more abstract considerations (such as personality type).
What is YouGov Profiler – are YouGov Profiles and YouGov Profiler the same thing?
The YouGov Profiler, free-to-use app, is a showcase for some of the more fun, consumer-friendly data on the full version of YouGov Profiles. It represents a small fragment of the information available to Profiles customers and the tool is more of a sketch than the detailed canvas available to brands and their agencies on YouGov Profiles.
Does the app show the “average” fan/customer?
No. If it did, most groups would look very similar, and you wouldn't learn a lot about the specifics of particular thing. Instead it shows what is proportionally unique about a group when it is compared to their natural 'comparison set' (for example, fans of Downton Abbey compared to anyone who has rated any TV shows).
We present the data points that most over-score in our target group (as measured by index/“z-scores”). So, if something is only true of 1% of the overall population, but is true of 6% of our target group, it might score very highly (and shows you something interesting and particularly true about that group). However, it does not mean it is true of all of them. For example, the results for a some particular football teams show a female character; this does not mean that most fans are female, but simply that compared to other football teams, there are more female fans of that team than you would expect.
Are some of the sample sizes on YouGov Profiler too small to be statistically robust?
If the sample says 52 people it does not mean that we only surveyed 52 people. Instead it means that among the tens of thousands of people we questioned, 52 have so far identified themselves as fans or customers of that particular brand. Although obviously the larger a sample size is the more confident you can be about the correlations, we include small sample sizes in YouGov Profiler because they can still show you a lot about a particular group.
How come Profiler suggests fans of Justin Bieber are so old?
The YouGov panel used within the Profiler app only includes adults over the age of 18. There is no teen or child component, so it just shows the profile of the adult UK population. The YouGov Panel can survey those younger and it can be done on request.
When will YouGov Profiles be available in other markets?
After the successful launch in the UK, YouGov is currently preparing to roll-out YouGov Profiles in the other countries in which it has panels so that brands and their agencies in other markets can enjoy the benefits of YouGov unrivalled connected dataset.
