SDMA Events

The great thing about direct marketing as a job is that you get paid to socialize, which, is fab, if that’s your thing.  But what does the savvy marketer do when she finds that the business scene in Seattle is beginning to resemble middle-school, and her “cool equity” in this crowd is wobbling like a massive sub-prime loan?

A social media marketing campaign is badly needed, but where does one begin?

As part of an Internet or other direct marketing campaign, social media can seem like an ominous pond to fish in when you’re new.  You have to find the good spots, with shadows and hiding places.  And that spot with not too much competition.  But, you don’t have all day to sit there with a line in the water.

What you should do is go back to class! But, do it the smart grown-up way.  Attend the next Seattle Direct Marketing Association event, “How to use social media to achieve your direct marketing goals,” and save yourself a lot of time and worry.

At this educational event for direct marketers, attendees will learn quick tricks and tools to immediately launch, or improve, any online social media campaign.

As part of my personal Internet marketing efforts, I recently joined Facebook and found a lot of people I know in the Seattle area. I’m eager to learn how to use this tool as a direct marketing device, and to grow my business in Seattle.  But, I also want to avoid making any inordinately disastrous mistakes that could ruin my career, or at least embarrass myself for a good long while.

…Should I join this game or group? Should I write on this guy’s wall? Who knows!

What seems simple to me may be a major faux pas in social media.  I prefer to make educated choices about my Internet marketing in a space where the silliest misstep can spread quicker than the ripple of a ten-ton stone in my smooth little pond.
