SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION: Digital marketing key to business success

As more consumers rely upon smart phones and tablets for information, the influence social media has on business marketing is more important than ever, Oklahoma City-based Smirk New Media CEO Mike Koehler said.

Koehler was the guest speaker at the Bartlesville Marketing and Communications Association meeting Thursday at Tri County Tech.

According to Koehler, in order for businesses to survive in 2017 and beyond, owners and marketers must embrace the emergence of social media to get the message out.

“Great business owners and marketers want to know who you are talking to and which platform for engaging with customers works best for you,” he said. “Social media allows that to happen like nothing we’ve seen before. Digital advertising spending will continue to grow and there are multiple reasons why that will occur.”

Digital advertising and traditional media

As younger generations begin to make their consumer presence known, businesses and media sources alike are starting to shift toward focusing in on digital advertising. Companies — including the Examiner-Enterprise — are making more strides in the sphere by offering digital marketing packages at an ever increasing rate. Koehler does not see that trend stopping anytime soon.

“The reality is that 2017 will represent the first year ever that companies spending their marketing dollars will overtake television advertising,” Koehler said. “By 2020, it is projected 40 percent of all ad dollars will be spent online.”

According to Koehler, the biggest shift in advertising money can be attributed to the increased influence of smart phones.

“Digital traffic shows increased usage in the morning hours, the noon hour and the dinner and evening hours,” Koehler said. “Instead of watching television, people are using their smart phones. Combined with the growth in television technology like DVRs, consumers are fast forwarding through commercials.”

Live video apps

Facebook and other social media like Twitter have been making a huge push toward the use of their live video functionality, Koehler said. Marketing to that audience will be key to business success in the future, he said.

“A lot of companies I talk to question the use of live video functions and how that helps market,” Koehler said. “They wonder why the would shoot video live if there really isn’t anything engaging to talk about. The great thing about live video is that you can shoot video about anything and have the ability to talk and interact with your customers because they can type questions to you.”

This breakthrough technology is emerging as a leader in customer service as well, he said.

“When you are able to interact with your customers live, you can take care of those concerns much faster than any other way,” Koehler said. “Even if the solution to a concern is not what the customer wants to hear, studies show that overall satisfaction raises dramatically because they feel as though they are interacting on a better level with you.”

Twitter continues to be strong

The social media app Twitter is making a comeback, Koehler said. Even with its limitation of 140 characters, businesses and politicians are using the app to engage with people on a much higher level than ever.

“Twitter’s growth will continue,” he said. “In almost every news story, you hear the word ‘Twitter’ or ‘Tweet.’ That has brought the app back to life and companies must continue to adapt to its usage.”

Good social media increases web visibility

Search engines, such as Google, use social media usage to boost results for a particular product, Koehler said.

“Banner ads and ads that follow you around based on what websites you visit are starting to lose their influence,” he said. “New metrics to rank search results are becoming more dependent on using social media and engaging with your customers. If you interact with your customers on social media, the higher your ranking will be.”

Customers also have the ability to rate a company’s product and service online. Those reviews are growing in influence, Koehler said. The more businesses engage with the customer, the higher the rating will be, he said.

Girl,12, commits suicide in live online video

MIAMI

Video of a 12-year-old US girl’s suicide broadcast live has gone viral around the world, and local police say they’re unable to do anything about it.

Katelyn Nicole Davis of Cedartown in northern Georgia posted the 40-minute video on December 30 showing her placing her phone in her front yard, tying a rope around a tree limb and saying goodbye to her family and friends in front of the camera.

« I’m sorry that I’m not pretty enough, » she says in tears, carefully made up and dressed in a white blouse and jeans.

« I’m sorry for everything. I’m really, truly sorry. But I can’t do this. »

The video then shows her tying the rope around her neck and hanging herself.

Davis had said in another video several days before her death that she had been sexually abused by a family member, the local Rome News-Tribune newspaper reported.

Although Davis’s family deleted a page with the video depicting her suicide from her Facebook profile, it has been widely shared on YouTube — which subsequently removed it — and other websites around the world.

Polk County Police Chief Kenny Dodd told the local Fox 5 television station that the police are powerless to stop the video circulating on the internet despite a barrage of messages from around the world exhorting the authorities to do so.

« We want it down as much as anyone for the family and it may be harmful to other kids, » Dodd said on Wednesday.

« We contacted some of the sites. They asked if they had to take it down and by law they don’t. But it’s just the common decent thing to do in my opinion. »

Contacted by AFP, Polk police declined to provide further details.

C-SPAN online video feed of House floor briefly switches to Russian channel

C-SPAN’s online stream of action of the floor of the House of Representatives mistakenly switched to a broadcast of RT for approximately ten minutes Thursday. 

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., was speaking on the floor during a debate on the Securities Exchange Commission when the online feed switched over to RT, which is funded by the Russian government.

C-SPAN spokesman Howard Mortman told Fox News that the switch may have been a routing issue and said the network is investigating.

The programming change did not affect C-SPAN’s cable or satellite broadcast of the House floor. In addition, there was no interference with the floor feed that is controlled by the House of Representatives. 

The programming glitch came hours after a power outage interrupted a Senate confirmation hearing for Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan. to head the CIA. The hearing reconvened in a different room.

The Architect of the Capitol’s office says a local power company « de-energized » a system that feeds power to the Hart Senate Office Building. The office says the company, Pepco, quickly restored the lost power.

Fox News’ Chad Pergram and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Manipulation d’explosifs: un carnage évité de peu à Donnacona

Le 18 mai vers 20h, les résidents de la rue Kernan entendent un énorme «boum». Une voisine voit même son téléviseur tomber sous le choc. 

Puis, un homme sort dans la rue. Les policiers et les ambulanciers en rescapent deux autres, Martin Delisle, 39 ans, et un ami, dans le logement lourdement endommagé par l’explosion.

Jérôme Bernartchez, technicien en explosifs à la Sûreté du Québec depuis 15 ans, voit son niveau de stress grimper en flèche lorsqu’il entre dans le logement dévasté. Le produit utilisé par Delisle est du peroxyde d’acétone ou TATP, un explosif violent et interdit, des dizaines de fois plus sensible que la nitroglycérine. 

À sa grande stupeur, il en trouve dans des pots Mason un peu partout dans le logement. 

L’artificier voit la table de cuisine défoncée, du sang et des morceaux de chair étalés un peu partout. La scène devra être sécurisée durant de longues heures par le technicien et son équipe. Les maisons voisines sont évacuées dans l’intervalle.

«Monsieur est vraiment un miraculé», témoignera le technicien en explosifs en août, lorsque Delisle tente en vain de reprendre sa liberté durant les procédures.

Car il aurait suffi que les policiers ou les ambulanciers déplacent un pot Mason pour que d’autres explosions se déclenchent, dit le technicien. «Il y avait assez d’explosifs pour blesser ou tuer des gens à l’extérieur, des voisins, des passants, jusqu’à l’autre coin de rue», assure M. Bernatchez.

Grièvement blessé, Martin Delisle a dû se faire amputer la main gauche. Il a aussi subi des blessures aux yeux et aux oreilles. Son ami a reçu des éclats de métal dans le bras.

Recette simple

Fabriquer du TATP est malheureusement très simple, a indiqué le technicien en explosifs. Il suffit, dit-il, de mélanger trois produits chimiques, vendus légalement au Canada… des produits qu’il se gardera bien de nommer dans la salle de cour.

Le TATP a été utilisé par plusieurs groupes terroristes, notamment par Richard Reid, qui avait piégé son soulier avant de prendre l’avion.

Martin Delisle avait appris la recette du TATP sur Internet. Il s’était pratiqué à plusieurs reprises à l’extérieur et avait même filmé ses essais. C’est une erreur de manipulation qui a vraisemblablement causé l’explosion dans son logement.

L’accusé dira aux policiers que c’est pour s’amuser qu’il jouait à l’artificier. Delisle avait aussi confié à un ami qu’il pensait faire sauter un ancien barrage pour récupérer le métal.

Delisle a plaidé coupable jeudi aux accusations liées à la fabrication, à la possession et à l’usage d’explosifs.

Les parties reviendront devant le juge Carl Thibault de la Cour du Québec le 24 mars pour les observations sur la peine.

L’identité du père grand-père révélée

Elle n’avait que 8 ans. Son père lui a montré «comment être une femme».

Nathalie Lesage, l’une des trois victimes alléguées du père grand-père de Val-des-Monts, est sortie de sa grande noirceur, jeudi. 

En demandant au juge de faire annuler l’ordonnance de non-publication qui protégeait son identité et celle de ses deux soeurs, elle permettait aux médias de publier le nom et la photo de son père, Jacques Roger Lesage, qui l’aurait violée pour la première fois lorsqu’elle n’était encore qu’une enfant.

L’homme subit son procès au palais de justice de Gatineau, cette semaine.

«On avait une piscine creusée, commence Nathalie. Il venait se baigner avec nous. J’avais 5 ans. Il nous faisait rire, mais dans le fond, il me tripotait. Aujourd’hui, tu te rends compte que c’était des attouchements. Il me faisait des compliments, et me disait que j’étais la plus belle.»

Puis, les mains baladeuses sont allées plus loin, entre les cuisses, puis sur les parties génitales.

Trois ans plus tard, le père aurait amené sa fille dans un boisé de Chelsea, près du lac Meech. 

«Il a baissé son pantalon, son caleçon, m’a demandé de flatter son pénis, et m’a embrassé sur la bouche. Je tournais la tête, je ne voulais pas», décrit la femme, avec assurance et aplomb. Son père l’a forcée à lui faire une fellation. «J’ai pleuré. Après, il me flattait le bras en disant que j’étais une championne.»

La même année, au même endroit, la fille a été forcée d’avoir une relation sexuelle complète.

Ensuite, le père amenait sa fille au Motel Châteauguay du secteur Hull. «Il a préparait de la vodka-jus d’orange avec du jus d’orange de chez Perrette, pour que je me détende. Je ne voulais pas…»

Son père l’a pénétré avec force, raconté Nathalie Lesage. «J’ai crié… En fait, je ne sais pas s’il mettait sa main sur ma bouche ou si j’étais juste incapable de crier… Il n’y a rien qui sortait…»

Au terme de ce cauchemar, le père a encore une fois félicité sa fille, «Il m’a dit que j’étais rendue une femme. Que les femmes, c’était fait pour donner du plaisir à l’homme.»

Les agressions sexuelles se sont multipliées, souvent au motel, selon «le même genre de rituel», dit-elle. 

Dans son plan, le père, comme dans les agressions alléguées des autres filles, allait la chercher à l’école, selon les victimes.

«T’embarques (dans l’auto), tu ne te poses pas de question, t’es une enfant (…) C’était des viols. Des viols à chaque fois.»

Elle craignait son père, qui avait beaucoup d’amis, dont des policiers. «Il me disait que personne ne me croirait. C’était un homme tellement influent, dans ma tête.»

Vers 16 ans, la jeune fille a menacé son père de «le tirer» s’il la touchait encore. Les agressions ont cessé, mais sa sordide histoire a été gardée secrète pendant des années.

Aujourd’hui mariée et mère de quatre enfants, Nathalie Lesage est fière de ne pas faire subir son enfer, à son tour, à de jeunes victimes. C’est là sa plus grande fierté, avec celle d’avoir brisé un lourd silence insoutenable.

La Couronne a clos sa preuve, jeudi après-midi.

Une arme jouet à l’origine du confinement des élèves à l’école secondaire des Grandes-Marées de La Baie – ICI.Radio

Un adolescent de 14 ans a été interrogé par les policiers relativement à cette affaire, qui a forcé les élèves de l’école secondaire des Grandes-Marées à demeurer confinés à l’intérieur de leurs salles de classe pendant plusieurs heures, jeudi.

Tout a commencé lorsqu’un couple a contacté les policiers pour affirmer qu’ils avaient aperçu quelqu’un portant une arme dans le quartier près de l’école.

Après évaluation de la situation, les policiers de Saguenay ont appliqué le protocole de confinement élaboré pour faire face à la menace d’une ou de plusieurs personnes armées.

En plus de garder les élèves et le personnel à l’intérieur des salles de classe et des bureaux, les portes étaient fermées, les fenêtres bloquées par du papier pour éviter qu’on puisse voir à l’intérieur, des mesures qui n’ont pas été sans causer de l’inquiétude.

Pour le porte-parole de la sécurité publique de Saguenay, ces mesures étaient nécessaires même si les possiblités de voir la situation tourner au drame étaient à peu près nulles.

Il n’y avait pas de danger. La personne en question n’avait jamais mis un pied sur le terrain de la polyvalente, mais c’est une question de prévention. On dit : donnez-nous du temps, permettez-nous de faire certaines vérifications, des recherches, de laisser arriver les effectifs supplémentaires pour essayer de retracer l’individu.

Bruno Cormier, porte-parole, Sécurité publique de Saguenay

Les policiers ont donc surveillé les alentours de l’école tout en consultant les enregistrements vidéo des caméras de surveillance afin de s’assurer qu’aucun intrus ne se trouvait dans l’établissement.

Finalement, c’est vers 17 heures que les policiers ont pu retrouver le jeune homme à l’origine de ces mesures exceptionnelles.

Les élèves et le personnel ont pu commencer à quitter l’établissement scolaire peu après 17 h 30.

Certains élèves ont trouvé l’expérience éprouvante même si, à l’intérieur, les responsables ont tout fait pour garder un ton rassurant.

« Ils ont commencé par fermer les lumières, mettre un carton noir sur la fenêtre de la porte. On s’est collé contre le mur. Là, tout le monde, genre, capotait, même si certains disaient que tout serait ben correct. Pis là, ma mère m’a texté et j’ai dit : ah non! », mentionne Jade Brisson, une élève de l’école secondaire des Grandes-Marées.

« Au début, on n’a pas pu se servir de nos téléphones parce que ça faisait de la lumière, mais, à la fin, on a pu s’en servir, texter et tout. Nos parents nous posaient des questions et on était paniqués parce qu’on ne savait pas si nos parents savaient… », ajoute Myriam Pellerin, une autre élève.

Five Marketing Campaigns Your Print Business Can Execute in One Hour or Less

All too often, owners and managers of print businesses make the mistake of shrugging off the idea of marketing, viewing it as a burden as opposed to an opportunity to generate new sales. Underestimating the value of a targeted online, print, or multi-channel marketing campaign can prove to be a fatal flaw for your business. You might be thinking to yourself, “Sure, I understand that concept, but I just don’t have the time to execute a campaign like this.” Well, maybe three years ago that excuse would fly, but not now. Marketing software has become so advanced (and at the same time, so simple) that every print business can find the time to market and reach their target audiences, especially with the right marketing software there for assistance.

Let’s look at five quick campaigns that your print business can execute in one hour or less, using a marketing automation software to help you easily complete these campaigns and generate more sales leads:

1. Content Download
Whether it be white papers, eBooks, case studies, infographics, or fact sheets, downloadable electronic content is one of the strongest forces a print business can offer to their audience. It may seem like these pieces are time consuming to produce, but there are many options to cut down on the time spent. Some of these include outsourcing, reusing, or repurposing content from prior sources and works. Remember, content should always be focused on value. Remind your readers why print is still relevant, and how your services can benefit their business and their own marketing operations. Offer up examples of your prior work to demonstrate your company’s abilities, and always poise yourself as a knowledgeable source. Readers want to know that they are obtaining information from a subject matter expert in the industry, especially when it comes to the print industry where there is massive potential to win the trust of customers and earn repeat businesses. Once your content piece is created, it’s time to offer it up online. Access to your content should not come free — instead, force your audience to fill out a simple landing page to download the content. In doing so, you will receive contact information from credible, qualified leads who need printing services. This whole process (yes, including the landing page implementation) will take you under an hour … assuming you have the proper marketing automation system in place!

2. Video
Videos remain one the most underutilized marketing efforts by print businesses today. However, they can be highly effective in reaching a large prospect base. Videos are one of the best means of “humanizing” your brand (i.e. showing that you are a business, run by people, who cares about its customers). Many customers in both B2B and B2C arenas today are looking for the quickest information about products and companies, and videos are right at the fingertips of most consumers. For these reasons, it’s essential that your print business begin showcasing your staff, products, services, company, and overall value by producing videos. They don’t need to be long, and you don’t need expensive equipment to produce (even a smartphone will work!). Videos, if executed correctly, should be fun and light in nature, and will only take you about 30 minutes to produce, edit, and post online. Other video ideas are product demonstrations, case studies of past clients, and success stories from customers who have chosen your company for their printing needs. Remember to continually promote your videos, as well on your corporate website and social channels to drive traffic.

3. Social Media Promotion
Whether you personally agree with it or not, social media has rapidly become one of the most effective means for corporate marketing and promotion. This goes for businesses of any size — from small-scale production print shops, to large Fortune 500 companies in the industry. In a matter of seconds, you can publish messages that will reach thousands of online viewers and prospective customers. One of the best new features that has been offered by marketing automation applications is the ability to “schedule” social posts, allowing you to write several and schedule times for them to be automatically triggered and published online (on a variety of channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and more). These messages can also be tied to other campaigns through automated marketing, such as a post after a white paper campaign is launched, allowing the software to do the work for you! By taking most of the work away from the common print business owner, social media marketing is an effort that you NEED to be capitalizing on. Successful campaigns can be accomplished in a matter of minutes, never mind a full hour.

4. Personalized Letter
Although it may seem “old school,” those in the printing industry understand and appreciate the value that a hardcopy piece of marketing collateral can have on the everyday consumer. Direct mail pieces that showcase your company’s product/service offerings, postcards, and flyers are all still valid and widely utilized marketing mediums. With that said, the key to success with print campaigns has proven to be personalization. A personalized letter, for instance, is much more likely to gather and retain interest from your audience than a blanket postcard with a generic message, and it’s much cheaper and quicker to create! Personalized letters, much like electronic content that we discussed above, need to focus on value. Give your prospects reasons for choosing you as their print service provider, and offer a personalized experience by including their name, company information, demographic information, geographic profile, and/or other targeted data that is highly relevant to them. And always remember a strong call to action that will lead them to your online e-store, website, blog, or any other way of connecting with you again. Variable data print engines are more often than not selected for mass-producing personalized letters, print, and direct mail campaigns. However, don’t rule out the power of marketing automation in this process as well. With today’s most current marketing technology, communications even through hardcopy print methods are made much simpler by setting reminders or triggers for the print components of a multi-channel campaign effort. In many cases, collateral can be stored in these systems as well for future use and easy access at any time.

5. Blog Post
Last but certainly not least, blogging is one area of online marketing that simply does not get enough attention. Yes, blogs can be written and posted in under an hour, but are they actually successful? Will it be worth your time to publish blog posts regularly, for example? These answers to these questions are unequivocally, YES! Marketing trends show that 83% of prospects searching for service providers online value companies that offer an interactive and current web experience. Blogging offers a mechanism for achieving this. Blogs can be short in length, and can be about a wide variety of topics. Seasonal posts, internal corporate news, tips and tricks, or even industry event coverage are all valid ideas for blog posts. The point is that repeat business can be driven by a prospect’s willingness to reconnect with you in the future, and an up-to-date, relevant, and interesting blog is a great way to capture repeat interest. Additionally, you can take the opportunity to write blog posts about your products, print services, prior customer success stories, or other promotional news for your business that will reach potential customers who are already visiting your site. Videos can be incorporated as well, turning the blog post into a mini-multi-channel effort within itself. Blog posting should take no more than 45 minutes out of your day; and with marketing automation, you can easily re-purpose content and schedule it weeks in advance, cutting the time down even further for a marketing effort that has a very high potential for returns.

*Bonus Idea
Don’t limit yourself. Try executing a multi-channel campaign to reach your audience via multiple sources all in one promotional effort. The more methods of communication and distribution of information you can conquer, the more likely you are to attract and retain business. But remember, automation is the name of the game. It’s imperative that you find a software platform that can handle these types of campaigns; doing so will cut the time you spend on marketing while making it more efficient.

The Bottom Line
It’s time to embrace marketing and create campaigns to drive customers and prospects to your print business’s products and services. Marketing automation solutions are designed to help make executing your marketing tactics easier and act as an extra marketing hand for your company.
