Everyone’s talking about social media these days but mostly they’re thinking of Facebook and Twitter. Less well known, social bookmarking offers a way for smart entrepreneurs to reach another well-read audience and build their business’s online reputation. And how businesses should integrate their social media with their business websites is discussed.
Then there are more exotic channels, like phonewords – phone numbers that correspond to a keyword for the business (eg 1300 PIZZA). These have been available in Australia for more than a decade but few people understand how they are obtained. Finally, the pros and cons of the “old” media – newspapers, magazines, radio and TV – are discussed.
