Let’s get Mocial!

I know some of you are wondering what the heck is “Mocial”; well it’s the new buzzword for the summer of 2011!
Mocial(Mo~shul) defined as to use a social networking engine (i.e. Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter etc.) through any mobile device to seek companionship, check in with others and/or receive deals/discounts from businesses while "on the go".
Basically it’s mobile + social and why does “Mocial” matter to you and your businesses marketing plan---because the numbers don’t lie!

Let’s take a look shall we? According to Wikipedia, 96% of the US population has a cell phone. Various surveys have suggested that 50% of those people have their phones within reach 80% of waking hours! Not to mention that 40% of facebook users are accessing the site from their mobile and Foursquare has increased its membership from 500,000 users 9 months ago to 5 million! So like I said the numbers don’t lie!

Have you taken advantage of Google & YouTube to tell your company's story see our example"Looking for a Social Media Branding Expert"

So it’s been a few months since the Social Mobile Media Marketing Diva has been able to be “social”! Well she’s back my pretties, she’s back!


And the first thing on her mind is why haven’t I seen more companies using YouTube to interact with their followers? Also can people be a little more creative with Google? Now I know there are a few of you out there saying did the Social Mobile Media Marketing Diva put her braids in too tight?! No but after the cute little “Toy Story” ad using the Google search stories "app"; I expected to see more small business owners capitalizing on this. It’s really cute and it’s a good way to position you or your company as “the subject matter expert” in your field! Oh and did I mention it's free!

Now here are a few tips to help you tell the best story possible:

• If there isn’t a lot about you on the “web” you may want to post to a few blogs before making your Google Search story.
• Also the “app” lets you decide whether or not to use what you find on the web, blog posts, or images about you and your company.

Play with it before you upload your story to YouTube to make sure that you show yourself and or your brand in the best possible light!

Take a look at how the Social Mobile Media Marketing Diva used the “app” and then go make one for your company or brand!
