Editor's Notes
- We are talking to you about this because as a local media company we are always researching changes to the landscape and new ways to help our customers. This past summer, NCI embarked on a major campaign to train and familiarize our teams, us, with social media marketing and tools. The company realized that magazine readers and advertisers were using these new technologies to interact around home and design issues. In a relatively short period of time, NCI’s Home design brands were able to expand the pool of readers, subscribers and advertisers they were interacting with……….we also realized there were significant time, technology and resource hurdles to overcome. Thus came the idea for Design Sherpa……a turnkey program designed to take the risk and complexity out of social media marketing………. A direct result of our experience
- It’s happening all around us --- most importantly, your customers are increasingly using these technologies to learn about home design issues and to interact directly with others: like-minded consumers, as well as suppliers of products and services. The growth in these social media platforms is coming from the same demographics as your target affluent customers.

- We established an Apartment Finder blog with interesting articles and industry-related information; we created an Apartment Finder Twitter account into which we stream much of this information and; and we encourage our employees to participate in their own individual and market Facebook pages and Twitter conversations.
- A Custom……….Turnkey……..Internet marekting tool
- What Design Sherpa is……….at it’s essence, is a simple and powerful way for your company to take advantage of social medial tools to build your business. To do this right takes a lot of time: to prepare content, to learn tools, to administer…………Design Sherpa gives you a shortcut and saves your time
- Walk through this diagram carefully…..especially noting the role of the Design Sherpa account manager……..stress FRESH, FREQUENT flow of content…something very time consuming and difficult for most companies to contemplate. It is what is required for results. CONTENT IS CUSTOMIZED BASED ON OUR INTERVIEW OF YOU….re: relevant content, etc. We believe in content marketing, and house all the content at the blog level. We share from there. The blog can also share stuff from their website and drive traffic from there. We are always measuring engagement levels and tweaking content approach for each sherpa client to drive maximum engagement. Also, the sherpa coordinator will help in selecting functionality and design for the blog, and will lead the set up and lead the recruitment process for FB, Twitter, and Blog. They will answer all your questions about URLs, ecommerce, publishing schedules, any involvement you want, etc. We recommend some involvement to insure that your personality comes through but making sure the program is not heavily reliant on your time commitment.
- When Google sees fresh, frequent content……….and activity --- it ranks your page higher than others. This is a key benefit for finding new prospects and business 2) Higher visibility on Google of course results in more web traffic, more inquiries, more leads. 3)
- The core product……..through which all content flows --- is a blog that you can customize to communicate the feel of your business. These are prototype samples Content can be soley done by us or the customer can blog away also. We provide full access. Totally customized categories and content. We rely on the client for feeding us some photos and post elements and we do the rest. We recommend they engage around comments and responses to inject their personalities.
- Websites are important but generally somewhat static…..a Design Sherpa program will drive more traffic as increased activity impacts search engine rankings. It can also share website content, it can be linked to the website, or it can act as a website. A constant flow of content helps search, but more importantly is interesting, educational and entertaining to your prospects. eNewsletters can do some of this, but even if opened, it disappears (unlike blog posts) and can never be found by search engines. Only the list you already have see that content. SEO and SEM can be expensive, but getting people to your web content is important, Design Sherpa will actually help that process. We optimize and cross link your content on your blog to help search engines find you. By definition, social media are two-way and interactive, much different
