]]> Automotive Computer Gaming Entertainment Gambling / Casinos Retail WebWireID175062 Article Why Your Twitter Marketing Sucks (But Doesn't Have To) - How Small Businesses Royally Screw Up (Again and Again) Their Twitter Marketing Strategy http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=175067 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:05:22 EST Twitter marketing is the Matthew McConaughey of small business, according to Michael Rogan of Punk Rock Marketing.
 
'They're both kinda misunderstood. And have a reputation for being shallow and speaking in short, abbreviated sentences.'

'But both have some serious substance underneath. You just gotta know how to find it beneath the rock-hard abs and tanning lotion.'
 
[TWITTER MARKETING TIPS, DUDE!]
 
And though Twitter has its fair share of "bongo playing at midnight" moments -- thank you, Kanye West and Lindsay Lohan -- the social media tool with the 140 character limit is actually the perfect tool to help small businesses get more exposure, sell more stuff, and compete with the big boys.
 
"Most people don't know what the hell they're doing on Twitter," said Rogan. 'They either sell their crap all day long or they just tweet out links. People don't want information, they want attitude. If you can show you're an actual human being, you'll stand out (and crush your competition).'
 
Twitter Marketing Strategy Fact and Fiction
 
In his new book, 'Twitter Marketing That Doesn't Suck,' tries to dispel some of the most common Twitter marketing myths (and kill a couple of sacred cows in the process).

[ON CHOOSING A TWITTER HANDLE]

'Keep it short, and make it sound like you are an actual human being. (PoolCleanerBob, NOT PoolCleanerInc.) Corporations, despite what Mitt says, are not people.'

[ON KEEPING YOUR TWEETS BUSINESS-FOCUSED]

"Nobody cares about your brand.Talking about your dog and what you had for lunch isn't self-indulgent, it's good marketing.'

[ON TWITTER PROFILE BACKGROUNDS]

"Most people will NEVER EVER look at your Twitter profile page. Don't waste your time freaking out over this…'

[ON TWEETING TOO MUCH, OR THE SAME STUFF OVER AND OVER]

"Tweets are like a junior high school romance. They don't last long and before you know it you've been dumped and your follower is on to the next thing.'

[ON THE BEST TWITTER MARKETING TOOL AROUND]

'Forget about all the fancy Twitter 3rd-party tools and make sure you have a super simple site that looks good on a phone.'

"Most people check out their Twitter feeds on their phone while they're in the bathroom or waiting for the light to change." 

[ON MAKING MONEY ON TWITTER]
 
'Marketing on Twitter is way easier than marketing on Facebook. You just gotta know what to tweet, when to tweet, and how to do it so you don't look like a robot.'
 
'Do that again and again and you'll find the secret to Twitter Marketing that not only doesn't suck, but can make you a serious amount of moolah.'

Technology expert and the founder of www.connectedwomen.net.au, Claire Moffat said that women were often left behind by large companies when it came to marketing and selling digital technology products and services.

'As women are the driving force behind new business start-ups and the social media, having a female at the helm of Google is a game changer. It is also a great business model for organisations struggling with gender change within their businesses,' Ms Moffat said.


Maile Carnegie joins global Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg in standing out as a female leader of an organisation which is at the cutting edge of behavioral change in our society. 'It's news that should also give women confidence that they can plan for a career within a technology business and rise to the top,' Ms Moffat added.

Festivals can be a magical place; the music, the weather and most importantly the outfits, and now is the time of year when style setters' thoughts turn to that all important festival wardrobe.  With temperatures that can go from scorching heat in the midday sun to nippy evenings, everyone knows that festival dressing is no simple task, so festival-goers should check out the  new festival shop collection from Missguided to make sure their outfit takes centre stage.

Festival packing can be a risky business and whatever the weather, the most important thing is to rule the mosh pit. Music lovers can choose from Missguided's covetable collection of festival essentials and this season's most rocking pieces, from shiny disco pants to denim hot pants.  By opting for neon brights, animal prints and tie-dye this festival season, they'll achieve VIP status at this year's festivals. 

To nail the trend for bold prints, an Aztec-inspired racer crop top should be teamed with a fierce pair of hot pants from Missguided USA for maximum impact. And if the weather isn't kind this summer, it's easy for style supernovas to layer up with a light camouflage jacket or a sleeveless denim waistcoat.

Rompers are a festival must-have this year and Missguided's floral rompers create the perfect festival clash when teamed with a rockin' leather jacket and a pair of biker boots to achieve instant edge.

Sunglasses are another festival must-have, either to shield eyes from the summer sun, or to simply take outfits to a whole new level. Missguided's vast collection of shades are sure to help create any desired look, with round frames adding a retro feel and embellished or neon pairs complimenting any festival outfit.

Missguided's daily updates ensure the e-tailer is always reacting to current trends and taking inspiration from the latest celebrity finds. This affordable luxury is complimented by the brand's free shipping to US and Canada, ensuring all festival needs will be catered for without denting the budget.

And for a limited time Buzztala is free to install and use by going to buzztala.com.

Since 2012 Buzztala has built custom mobile-optimized social video engagement solutions for major companies like Live Nation Entertainment based on our patent-pending Buzztala platform. Buzztala allows companies to deploy and take advantage of social user-generated content quickly, efficiently and safely. The platform provides two types of easily installed plug-ins. One shows visitors client-generated content such as ads, promotional videos or content marketing. The other type shows video clips created by customers and fans. When visitors click on the plug-in a widget overlays the page and provides full access to the Buzztala social marketing system.

From the widget a viewer can watch other user-generated video marketing clips like reviews, testimonials or comments or record one of their own. All consumer-generated content is shared across that user's Facebook and Twitter accounts.

When their friends click on the post, those friends become pre-qualified inbound traffic to the business's website thereby generating well-qualified leads and increasing conversion.Using a patent-pending combination of HTML5 and Flash technology Buzztala is optimized for computers and mobile devices. With consumers rapidly shifting to surfing and shopping on mobile devices, Buzztala helps companies make their moves to mobile more effective by tapping into the way people use their mobile devices: to create content.

For brands looking to up the ante of their social media strategy, Buzztala includes a mobile app for clients that allows for the rapid creation and publishing of social video content directly from members of the social media team. As fast as you can Tweet you can now publish powerful and engaging video content across your sites and social channels.Key differences between Buzztala and some other B2B video marketing solutions:

  • Buzztala auto+human moderation keeps user-generated content safe for business
  • Patent-pending technology keeps source content and all associated user content connected at all times
  • Installation requires no coding or APIs – a self-serve configuration widget makes it customizable and easy
  • Cloud-based system uses gold-standard Rackspace servers for maximum reliability and security
  • Turnkey system means companies drop in a line of code and go – everything is controllable through the browser-based dashboard

Abbie Chueng is an online marketing consultant and a huge part of the Shim Sham Kitchen site and its parent Shim Sham Life.  Cheung specializes in finding information and product markets with a heavy demand of internet searches but low supply of websites providing information, reviews, and other resources.  From there Cheung takes the lead on getting our team to provide quality, in-depth, honest reviews of the best and most popular products, in this case providing quality food dehydrator reviews.

"Shim Sham Kitchen is definitely the biggest online presence I have undertaken, and I am very excited to build something of such substance" says Cheung.  "I personally have never thought about having a food dehydrator until now so this has been an especially enlightening experience to do all the research and have our team pull together the reviews."

Cheng continues, "With the increased awareness about health living and healthy eating, food dehydrators are becoming much more popular.  The folks who manufacture the best food dehydrators, however, are not that well known.  So I like the fact that we can give better exposure to these great products, especially the Nesco Food Dehydrators and Excalibur Food Dehydrators which are amongst the most reliable and most popular, including a special review of the bestselling Nesco American Harvest FD-37 Food Dehydrator.

Cheung continues to state that especially in this busy day and age of special diets, more and more people want to make their own food.  Food dehydrators give people the ability to create their own snacks whether for healthy diets, camping supplies, or emergency supplies.   

Cheung continues to work her aggressive schedule and is very happy to launch the research center to compare food dehydrators.

]]> Food / Beverages Household / Consumer / Cosmetics Lifestyle / Society Restaurants Retail WebWireID174721 Article Online fashion brand Missguided heats things up in Barcelona on the set of their SS13 campaign. http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=174951 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:33:18 EST Missguided's latest SS13 campaign 'Barcelona Heat' takes things to the next level and marks the start of the summer season.
The crew took to the sun-drenched Spanish city of Barcelona for their latest SS13 campaign, which was shot at local skate parks, street-art littered city avenues and sandy beaches, to capture the genuine laid back vibe of the city together with the youth culture of today.   
Bold and brightly painted walls were used as the perfect back drop for some laid back looks, including a relaxed acid wash denim playsuit, black peace trucker hat and high-top flatforms. Feminine dresses were given a street-edge with the addition of oversized snapbacks, killer platforms and studded rucksacks, whilst a neon bodycon dress was spotted on the skate park as boarders and bikers stopped their displays of tricks and flips to stare.
The city's urban backdrops were the perfect setting for the off-the-cuff styled outfits worn by the utterly beautiful but 'don't mess with me' Brazilian model. Her eye-popping red pout, long tanned limbs and off-beat style was an unexpected sight against the grey concrete walls, causing quite the stir with the locals who stopped to take in this rare sight as they went about their daily business.
Moving through the city, the stark concrete port allowed the detailed skater dresses to demand attention, with sequins and neon embellishments being an unexpected sight.  And as the sun exuded its last few rays of the day, the flawless model, dressed in a fierce leatherette number, was seen on the hotel rooftop, with the sight of the epic Barcelona skyline stretching out into the distance.

Shot in the sun-drenched Spanish city of Barcelona, Missguided have taken women's fashion to the next level for their brand new 2013 campaign. The urban back drop of this laid-back city offered the perfect location to reflect the youth culture of today, with the team scouting out the best locations.
Concrete skate parks, the yellow sandy beach and roads adorned with street art were the settings as the midday sun shimmered over the city.

Separates with a fishnet overlay, an acid wash denim jacket and an oil-slick pencil skirt were worn with an oversized checked shirt tied casually around the waist. A diverse range of dresses were given a street edge with the addition of oversized snapbacks, platform high tops and studded rucksacks.
 
As the last few rays of sunlight were squeezed from the day, the flawless model, dressed in a fierce cut out bodycon from Missguided AU, was seen on a hotel rooftop, with the skyline of the city stretching out to the mountains in the distance.

]]> Fashion / Appeal Retail WebWireID174947 Article Hitchcock Brings New Personality to IVR with SpeechStorm Personas http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=174943 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:00:43 EST Belfast, 21 May, 2013 – Leader in phone and mobile customer service, SpeechStorm, today announces the general availability of the latest release of its Interactive Voice Response (IVR) application, code-named 'Hitchcock'. The main feature of the new version is the introduction SpeechStorm Personas, which enables customers to have different experiences of call centre IVR and self-service, depending on their profile, behaviour, or preference.

When calling a bank to check a balance or make a payment, for example, frequent callers can be presented with shortened menu prompts, enabling them to proceed more quickly through the options. First-time callers, on the other hand, will hear menus and options with more explanation and guidance on how to use the IVR.

SpeechStorm Personas can also be used to present alternative voices, or personalities, for the IVR depending on brand or target market - male or female, casual and friendly as opposed to more formal, or in a different language. So, a telecoms operator or retailer might use a different voice for a youth-oriented customer segment than for its business customers, or use exactly the same applications in English, French, Spanish or German in different regions. This results in more engaging, effective and enjoyable customer experiences, as well as major savings on development and maintenance of applications.

Using SpeechStorm, new Personas are created and tested through an intuitive business user interface, enabling customer experience teams to work directly on defining the words and phrases that will best engage the target customer. SpeechStorm Personas can also be used to drive further personalization, including special messages, options or offers that only apply to that particular profile. Once complete, the new Persona can be deployed in an instant, with no interruption to service.

'SpeechStorm Personas opens up a range of possibilities for organizations and their customers, many of whom have struggled with the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach,' enthuses Oliver Lennon, co-founder and CEO of SpeechStorm. 'In a world where customers are increasingly frustrated with tedious, poorly designed call centre menu systems, engaging them in a way that responds to their specific needs will both surprise and delight them, and set your brand apart from the competition. A number of organizations already use our software to deliver services in multiple languages and for different sub-brands, so we're really excited to see what they and others do given even greater scope for personalization. '

Other enhancements are also included in the Hitchcock release, which has already been made available to customers on SpeechStorm's Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. Among these are question-level thresholds for customer experience monitoring, automatic alerting and improved management of historic data and extensions to the company's mobile applications capability.

Lennon comments, 'Hitchcock is the first of our planned 2013 releases, building on the success of more than 100 individual advances in our three 2012 releases. We are constantly extending and improving our technology based on customer feedback, innovations from our team and our assessment of where the market for customer service applications is going - or where we think it needs to go - to make everyday tasks easier ... and a bit friendlier, too!'
