Comments on: Small Business Social Media Adoption Doubles Since 2009 http://www.networksolutions.com/smallbusiness/2010/02/small-business-social-media-adoption-doubles-since-2009/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Thomas Forgione http://www.networksolutions.com/smallbusiness/2010/02/small-business-social-media-adoption-doubles-since-2009/#comment-725 Thomas Forgione Wed, 24 Mar 2010 02:35:33 +0000 http://growsmartbusiness.com/?p=3246#comment-725 Thanks for the article. Many business owners I consult are excited about social media marketing but unfortunately after a while they go back to their old habits. It would be great if they could just dedicate 30 minutes a day to it. The results would get them excited about it. So we put a action plan together to keep them on track despite themselves.

At <a href="http://SocialGO.com" rel="nofollow">SocialGO.com</a>, where we have created over 150,000 social networks in the past 12 month (many for small businesses) we have seen small business move beyond the obligatory and often ineffective Facebook page, to having their own dedicated social networks hosting a community of passionate customers relevant to their business. But making social media work for small business is not easy. You have to think very carefully about why would anyone want to join your network and why would they want to interact with other members. A great example that uses our software is <a href="http://www.parentbook.earthlings.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">http://www.parentbook.earthlings.co.nz/</a>. Here an organic baby clothes company in New Zealand wre wise enough to realise that few people would join an organic baby clothes social network, why would they. Instead, the owner put the company identity to the side and create a parneting social network where new parents could get advice, interact with each other and share their experiences. All the while, the owner is creating events, groups, talking to members and softly selling her products. Something to think about.
