Facebook Advertising for Dummies

Whether you’re on the Facebook  home page, reading comments on a friends’ Walls, or playing your favorite Facebook game, you have probably noticed at least one advertisement running on the right hand side on the page. These ads are available to anyone with an advertising budget, from $1 to $1 billion.  And many large advertisers, such as Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble, and Wal-Mart are running ads on Facebook, but so are many small businesses.

These ads like any other include a headline, an image and body copy.  But increasingly, Facebook Ads are also including ways to engage in a social action, such as “Liking a Page,” or “RSVPing to an Event”. Ads that include a social action are referred to as “Social Ads” or “Engagement Ads.”  And according to a study by Neilsen on Facebook Ads there is much better awareness, ad recall and best of all purchase intent when your friend “likes” or mentions a company to you via Facebook.

I believe Facebook Ads will become a strong component in every marketers toolkit much the same way as Google AdWords is today. Although fundamentally different in nature – the targeting and efficiency of Facebook Ads will make it irresistible to marketers over the long term plus the increase in brand awareness and purchase intent doesn’t hurt either.

Social Media and the Contact Center for Dummies

One of the biggest challenges for organizations today is managing the flow of information about their brands, products, and services that occurs in social media channels, including microblogs (such as Twitter), social networking sites (such as Facebook), blogs, and online forums.

More than ever, consumers use social media to spread the word about the brands they like and perhaps more importantly, don’t like. With the introduction of each new media channel, the landscape changes, often dramatically, and organizations need to adjust quickly to stay ahead of the curve. To help achieve that goal, organizations now adopt formal processes that structure how their contact centers organize, distribute, and analyze the information they collect from many channels.

So I embarked on creating my 2nd book which is now available called Social Media and the Contact Center for Dummies, to help you to grasp the opportunities and challenges of working within the new social media market landscape. This book describes the commercial tools, as well as some free ones, that organizations use to manage the massive stream of information they collect from the various social media channels.
