Videos–especially mobile videos–are one of the best promotional vehicles you can employ to generate interest in what you are doing. In our increasingly digital world, professional marketers have been using videos more and more to promote themselves, their ideas, and their businesses.
However, for videos to be effective, you have to get people watching–this is where Facebook and mobile videos come in. By tapping in to your social media network and allowing people to watch your videos when not sitting in front of a computer, you have the potential to increase your videos’ audience by 10-, 20-, or even 100-fold.
Learn the best tips and tricks for mobile video marketing when Angela speaks with internet strategist Dan Hollings this Wednesday, October 12th.
In this class you will learn:
- How do I make videos that people will want to watch?
- How can I upload my videos to Facebook?
- What is the best way to make videos available to mobile users?
- What are QR codes, and should I be using them to promote my videos?

Did you know that over half of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand and recommend that brand to their friends and family after becoming a fan or follower on Facebook? That 150 million of the over 500 million people on Facebook are constantly connected to the site through their mobile devices? That Facebook allows you to search for posts about your business or industry and target the people who need your services most?
Recently, e-mail marketing company Constant Contact hosted a webinar about Social Media Marketing with social media guru Brian Solis. In the webinar, Mr Solis discussed the advantages of marketing via social media, how to develop relationships with customers using social media, and characteristics of the ’social consumer’. For more information, check out Constant Contact’s social media page.
The advantages of using social media to attract and keep in touch with clients, friends, and family are clear, but a lot of people aren’t sure how to get started or what to do once they have an account. If you’re one of those people who keeps hearing about how great Facebook is, but you need a little help figuring out the site, join us next Tuesday (October 26th) for our upcoming teleclass: Facebook for Beginners. Designed for people with no previous Facebook or social media experience, this class will help you register for an account and get a feel for some of the features available to you. Learn how to create a profile, find and add your friends, set up a business page, and more!

I’m heading off for vacation this week and it reminded me of a great e-mail auto reply that we received here at A Red Bench. It was written by Leslie Shreve with Productive Day. What I love about this is that it is not your typical auto-vacation reply. She stays in line with her branding and what she does while being fun and grabbing some attention.
I hope this gives you a little inspiration. Read Leslie’s auto-reply below:
“Greetings!
I’ve been so productive,
Getting things done,
Now it’s time for a break,
To enjoy sand and sun.
I’ll be on vacation
For a week or more,
Mostly at the beach,
On the Delaware shore.
I’m forgetting about time,
To recharge and relax,
Checking e-mail only once
Before I get back.
Enjoy your long weekend,
For the 4th of July,
I’m off from June 26th,
Until the 6th of July.”
To your productivity and success!
