Editor's Notes
“We don’t have a choice on whether we DO social media, the question is how well we DO it.” Everyone is moving to an online environment of working – how online-savvy are you? If you’re not, is there any guarantee you won’t be left behind? Long story short: the train will leave the station and continue it’s journey, whether you board it or not...78% of people trust the recommendations of other consumers.The old communication model was a monologue – telling people; broadcasting one way messages, e.g. Leaflets, posters, adverts The new communication model is dialogue – interaction between people (engagement), e.g. Responsive communication, active discussionSocial media ”is only going to become persuasive and as such, become a critical factor in the success or failure of any business.”How many of you turn to consumer reviews before purchasing something? And how often are those from Twitter, Facebook or something similar?Think about young people – peer pressure and peer influence are major parts of their development – online is just another arm.Once something is published online, it’s out there in public – people will remember. Though they might not engage, they will have seen it, even briefly or in passing.
