Re: The Social Search Revolution: 8 Social SEO Strategies To Start Using Right Now

justinrfrench — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:13:03 -0000

Thanks for sharing this Jordan- really powerful. I have been preaching this since 2009 and it finally seems to have gained mainstream with many businesses. Many are still behind the curve. If the businesses keep focusing on ROI of social media, they may get a wake up call over the next few years because they have just been slapped in their face with ROI (The return of ignoring) social business. Cheers

Hey Scott- ya I have to agree about this one- wow definitely over the top here for a Brand to integrate this story into its unmarketing approach. Oh and by the way- ya bud light lime is def. refreshing too ;)

Re: Sony Combines Social and Local for Successful Product Launch

Hey Casey, thank you so much for these insights. Event marketing using social media is making strides- and the data you have put together in this case study really shows the true power of social and local. One quick question- from the 1,000 clicks were tracked from Facebook Do you by chance know how many sales were actually achieved from the campaign or conversions? Thanks for the info look forward to you next case study. Cheers

Re: SWOT: Five Ways Google+ Can Become Mainstream

Hey Jeremiah,
Great write up here. the key I believe is "Integration" Social Media Management can feel disconnected and quite overwhelming to manage at times for most social media managers, but I see Google as being able to fully integrate social into the Google apps business model as well as additional services such as Google analytics. Tell Brian Solis I said hello as well.

Hey Tac, just wanted to say its extremely comforting knowing someone like yourself is in a very similar type of situation which makes being in the social media trenches that much more comforting. Keep up the great work! Amazing piece here. Cheers

Re: Yes, Mom, I Really AM a Professional Social Media Consultant

justinrfrench — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:17:37 -0000

Hey Neal,

Just wanted to drop you a line real quick and let you know what a great post this was. I couldn't agree more. Our hearts have always been in the right place- and we have had a similar outlook on things since that sunny day in Carlsbad when we met for coffee where we began to embark on the social media for business journey (I remember it like it was yesterday). Who would of thought our influence would grow (especially yours :) and continue to be the "GPS" for many other up and coming business consultants. Not to mention all the FREE advice we've given for businesses trying to navigate through the social media ocean. One thing is for certain- when businesses are ready to "invest" in social media- we will be there to give them results. Cheers

Re: Planning a Business

justinrfrench — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:37:27 -0000

Love the idea Chris- i couldn't agree more. Us in the social media space can only scale so much of our knowledge with speaking engagements, workshops, blogs, books, etc. But business pro's want more- tactics- executables, be held accountable, and on-going, which is why I am currently working on some BIG things right now with continuing education for the business community- a forum of some sort- would love some feedback from you possibly?? :) Cheers

Re: Video: The Great Advertising Disconnect? From Campaign to Continuum

justinrfrench — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:19:21 -0000

Great interview Brian, love the "last mile" reference. Time - Time - Time and businesses need to understand this more. What I have seen in the trenches of social media for the last 2 years is very simple: Social Media Marketing is 20 times cheaper thank paid advertising, customer acquisition is cheaper than paid, AND the conversion rates are much higher because of the TRUST factor with the community.

Re: Seth Godin is Getting Shorter

justinrfrench — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 03:46:04 -0000

right you are Chris. Funny, i was tweeting a message the other day "I wish twitter could replace email! Agree or disagree?" the fact that it forces simplified communication is huge when working in teams. But I see myself looking at email less and less these days thanks to the power of twitter. Your thoughts? Hope your having a great summer with your family (whats left of it anyway) - Cheers

Re: Should Levi’s Disclose Sponsorship of Viral Video?

justinrfrench — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:54:59 -0000

I would say Yes- they should have disclosed but this could be debated either way. We will see- these types of things continually come up and will continue as social media because more accepted. Reminds me of the sponsored tweets - Ted Murphy. I would be interested in hearing how you feel about sponsored tweets? Do you support?

Re: Mannequin Networking – Why Twitter Automation Is Bad

justinrfrench — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:22:42 -0000

well said Scott. in fact this post reminds me of a great quote I heard on a video I saw which said "if you say business is built on relationships, then you need to make building relationships part of your business" or something of that nature. Anyway, you get the point.. Cheers- JustinRFrench on twitter

Re: Why is Google Afraid of Facebook? Because Social Networking Could Soon Pass Search

justinrfrench — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:31:12 -0000

very interesting statistics and if you know the story of twitter (how it started) even more interesting. Businesses will need continued education on this topic and we are seeing job growth in this area at least which is good.

Re: New Case Study Shows: Social Media Is The Major Contributor To Lead Generation

Re: Google's Eric Schmidt on What the Web Will Look Like in 5 Years

justinrfrench — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 13:18:04 -0000

This article really gives some great insight on what's to come about the future of the web. Here are some additional observations and trends I am seeing as well:

1. Social influence becomes monetized even more and companies start identifying key brand advocates and compensating them

2. Businesses begin being 100% on the cloud

3. Online advertising shifts into affiliate advertising

4. Social media consulting has certification programs (modeled after microsoft and cisco, but with marketing emphasis of course)

5. Trust, transparency, and tactics used to emphasize these to your target audience will still be key, but companies will try to shift into a Zappos type culture if they want to remain competitive and if they have a similar business model as them (hence online retail)

These are just a few of my ideas, hope you enjoy. Follow me @JustinRFrench if you'd like thanks.

Good insights Chris (as usual)
Hope you enjoyed the profit magazine I mailed you. Have a great Christmas with your family and a Happy New Year if I don't speak to you on twitter before then. 2010 is going to be amazing for those in social media who continue to develop strategy, implement, educate, and of course measure. Cheers!
