Tools & Tips for Managing Social Media for Events

I recently contributed two guest posts over at Sound n' Sight, Jenise Fryatt's blog about event marketing & technology. She asked me to offer my social media management tips for events - which is something Tuvel specializes in (we've done it for the NAB Show and the FOSE & GovSec Conferences, to name just a couple). I had loads of advice to offer on the topic - so much that I had to break it up into a 2-parter!

Check out my guest posts here:

Part 1: 10 tips for managing social media at your next event
Part 2: 8 can't-live-without tools for event social media management

7 Not-to-Miss Twitter Chats for Association, Non-Profit, Event and B2B Marketers

We here at Tuvel LOVE Twitter chats! We host and moderate Twitter chats for clients (like the NAB Show and Share Our Strength) to help generate interest in a cause or event - resulting in donations, registrations, and overall awareness. We also participate in quite a few Twitter chats, and I'd like to share a few where you might find @TuvelComms, Mitch (@mitcharno) and me (@KariRippetoe) joining the conversation.

In case you're not sure what a Twitter chat is, here are some tips for participating in a Twitter chat. Also, here's a pretty comprehensive list of other Twitter chats covering a wide variety of topics and interests.

The following are chats that focus on marketing and communications, particularly for B2B, event, non-profit and association marketers. I hope to see you at one (or more) of these chats sometime (and be sure to say that Tuvel sent you!).

DC Urban Moms

As recently posted to the AdMarketing list:

Hi all--

Sometimes I forget how many support groups & lists there are in the Washington, DC area. In addition to great lists like DC Web Women and craigslist , there are virtual groups like DC Urban Moms.

Shannon Henry has a nice profile of this online community in today's Washington Post. Perhaps other AdMarketers care to share some of their resources with the group? Txs, Mitch

DC Urban Moms Online: Click for Support, Advice, Home Remedies, Gossip, Political Rants (free reg req'd). Mitch

Media Calculators

The Laredo Group, has Website Conversion Rate, Pay-Per-Click Advertising ROI, and E-Mail Marketing Calculators up on the website.  You can find these calculators out there but it's good to see them all in one place. Pay-Per-Clicks/PPC is especially helpful.

WIW- Washington Independent Writers

With a tight turnaround schedule,  we're in need someone to edit a newsletter article on a recent client campaign. The opportunity was posted (for free) on a Sunday night to the Washington Independent Writers Job Bank. By Monday afternoon, we had received over 15 responses and they were good!

Making this decision reminds me that it's important to create an easy experience. Those offering easy contact and a website with samples caught my eye. Those that put up barriers (need to fax writing samples, call  to discuss) lost my attention.

WIW is a great resource when you need writing help.

Proven Tactics in Viral Marketing: Online Games, Quizzes, eCards, Contests & Buzz Building

MarketingSherpa takes the time to produce worthwhile resources. You got to pay but for $45.00 (.pdf), this report on viral marketing seems to be a good bet. I have no affiliation with MarketingSherpa but I do like Anne (the owner).
