I'm torn.. I preach college to my kids, But.... with Technology moving as fast as it is, are schools actually keeping up and are the students learning the "Latest and Greatest" of everything... Sometimes I think if you are motivated enough, you can self teach and be better for it and less in debt.
Awesome about Apple! We are Mac junkies!

Re: The Future of Social Media Is Real

Llana, you bring a great point. I talk to clients now that have "missed" the boat so to speak.. they are still trying to figure out the social media connection. I think now if people are still trying to "figure it out", they may have been to late to hit that bubble. I have noticed more video conferencing and online events that bring people together. I do still enjoy going to meet people, sometimes, but in this world of technology you can do it from your desk. I like both worlds. When I am trying to pitch something or sale something, I do much better in person. I am one of those people that like to read the body and facial expressions to see if what I am doing is working. I think when we learn to make the online and in person play nicely together we will have the best of both worlds.

Scott,
You make a great point. Some of my clients are older, like in the 50+ range and still have a hard time with all the technology and Social Media.. People are still kickin and screaming that they won't use this... Well, guess what, these are the next set of consumers to us and the older folk need to start embracing this or they will be left behind or maybe they will higher more Digital Natives to help them through this period!

Hi Suzanne,
I liked this post. I think alot of times as marketers we are so focused on getting clients to do what we are doing to promote our business, but forget that they have not learned all that we have as it is our primary job. I like the list because it expresses to the client that "Yes" there is work involved and if you can't pony up the time then you may want to rethink your strategy.

Re: The Truth About the iPad

HighTouch — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 10:38:54 -0000

Jay, I too have and iPhone, Macbook and will probably get the iPad. Right now I carry my macbook to the living room to do facebook, email and that stuff, but it would be nice not to have to unplug all that but instead just pick up the handy iPad and do my thing. I wondered about the whole computer thing, but after seeing it, know that it probably isn't good for that. Thanks for your post...

Re: What 5 Year Olds Have Taught Me About Relationships

HighTouch — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:23:48 -0000

Hey Suzanne,
Great way to draw a correlation. That is how I feel sometimes talking to clients, like they are 5 year olds. It is almost like someone who speaks a different language, we think we need to talk louder so they can hear us.
Next time I am on the soccer field and my husband and I coach our 7 year olds team, I will remember this post.

Re: Super Bowl XLIV – Great Ads or Just Hype?

HighTouch — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:44:47 -0000

Suzanne, My favorite was the Doritos.. The little boy telling the date how it was going to play out! Gotta love kids.
Agree on the Godaddy...Seriously they sell domains!
Loved Betty White, thanks for showing that one, I missed it.
I think Budweiser spent entirely too much money to get us to drink their product. I think they were taking over the ads that Pepsi would normally run!
Kudos to Pepsi for not giving into peer pressure. I think they made a statement by not participating.

I was at my computer the whole time sorta watching the game, and paying way too much attention to the twitter group that was formed #brandbowl. It was fun to watch the comments roll in.

Re: Case Study: Las Vegas’ Missed Opportunity

HighTouch — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:39:27 -0000

Ouch! Missed Opportunity indeed... Although, can't say much for our city... They are not watering our parks, closing down our community centers, cutting our police and fire, and turning off street lights. Maybe this will be my next blog. Great Article and in your face!.. But they didn't take advantage of trying to make an argument for spending in Vegas, nor did they trying to rectify the situation. Their Bad!

Suzanne, This is how I am approaching alot of my posts this year. We forget that not everyone knows everything. We have to remember what we felt like when we started. Going back to the basics always benefits us.

I don't get it... Why would someone still run IE 6 when the upgrade to IE 8 is out and FREE!!! Not my problem you are not compatible. I have a mac and use Safari and FireFox! Get a clue.

I have to say, this was refreshing. I have not blogged in about a month. I find that I am just restating alot of what other people are already restating. It is recycled info just in someone else's view point. I am not saying that blogging is not necessary, but say something when you have something to say. I am going to check out Posterous and see what that is about.

Thanks for the insight!

I would buy both.. This rocks. I agree with Val that all you need now is a monitor and computers just got really small and cheap! It could rival a PC, then everyone would be Mac friendly.

Chris, this is so true. We are actually going through this painful process now. If you never let go or fail then you can never move forward. Success is based on those giving up moments and the failing moments. Great post and can't wait for the book.

Re: Starting Your Social Media Case

HighTouch — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:21:59 -0000

Jen, I totally agree.. When I tell my clients they need to blog they say "but I don't have that much to say". I say really? What about the field your business is in? What about being the expert in what it is you do.. Only when I ask them these questions does the light go on and they say... Oh Yeah! I can do that....Now will they??

Re: Starting Your Social Media Case

HighTouch — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:27:43 -0000

I don't have a problem with clients wanting to get into Social Media, I have a problem with them continuing.. I think most times clients here the hype with Social Media and think they are getting left out, when in reality, they are getting left out because they don't follow through and keep it up. Like a relationship, you have to keep working at it. You have to keep on the social media and online marketing to keep the constant contact and exposure or it will fade away.

Great post.

Re: Social media consultants: A call to action

HighTouch — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:59:09 -0000

That was awesome! Great Article... I know a few of those "Guru's" I learned awhile back that just because I know how to do it, does not make me an expert by any means. I can attribute Social Media (online Marketing, Blogging, Tweeting, Facebook, Linked In, and email marketing) to a 300% increase in leads for our business. We have closed more deals because of marketing to our current prospect list and because they deem us as a company that knows what we are talking about and because we in fact do the very things that we recommend them to do. I love social media and the whole aspect of doing better and getting better. It is like a rush to get moved up on the google ranking. We are getting our clients to adapt social media into their business and I am excited to see how they react to their increased leads and closed deals.
