I agree that tourism should engage with their audience in social media. I think there are important reasons for doing so and you mentioned several in your post. But after reading you post it seemed like just another effort in outbound marketing.;)...

Thanks Pat, I think Social Media is a great tool for visitors outside the region, inside is where I question it being used. And I believe it can be used to attract Fort Wayne visitors to other regions in Indiana. I read the post earlier today an...

Can Selling be this simple - YEP!

I was going to talk about sales & distribution channels, hour glasses and funnels but why, when a pand-handler did it so eloquently.

Should marketing care about cash flow?

Your marketing team needs to look at things differently to help you succeed in a tough market. Think of ways that you can make your customers feel more like part of a team that is helping each other get through these times. If you do that, your bill may not end up on the bottom of the pile.

Competitive Advantage - What is yours?

We all want one? Do we all have one? Can everyone in your organization name it? Can everyone of your customers name it? But it is not only about an organization, if you are looking for a job, what is yours?


Here are some tactics in developing one:

Mirror Your Customer - Your Process

In a previous post(this is post 5 of 5), I asked these questions:
1. Do you understand your customers buying process?
2. Does your marketing mirror that process?
3. Do you have specific marketing messages that your customer receives at critical points in that process?
4. If you did, would your marketing be more effective?

Since the buying process is defined by the customer, it should not seem anymore that it is subjective, it is pretty objective at this point based on the previous series of pos… Continue

Hey Joe:
I just had a brain fart. I picked up the stuff at Frontline along with several other items and called Wild Hare and talked to your wife and thanked her. Then it dawned on me that it was what you promised.

Thanks so much for the donation to the event tomorrow evening!

Hey Joe, I grew up in Ft. Wayne-- (Go Northrop!) and my mom still lives there, so I often visit.

Next time I'm there, could we meet for a cup of coffee? I got my MA in Philanthropic Studies in December and I am introducing Indy's Not-for-profits to Social Media.

Is it possible to sell something for FREE to Not-For-Profits and make a living? Anyhow, I would like to learn more about how you do it. I am very impressed with your branding, by the way. I am still new, and mine is a work in progress.

Hi Joe,

I've been meaning to ask you, I think I saw you last Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce. I was there for the Umbrella Series, put on by Labov & Beyond, but later when I was looking for you to introduce myself, I didn't see you.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
