Smells like a fresh tweet

2009-04-20T12:47:00.002-06:00

There's something about Twitter that makes it irresistible to people looking to create new and innovative ways to connect with their customers.

Take Baker Tweet for example.

Poke London rolls out this ingenious use of the messaging service to alert customers what's fresh out of the oven at Albion Cafe in London. See the video below:

BakerTweet from POKE on Vimeo.

While it's certainly cool to see things like this roll out, you almost have wonder if it's a little bit before its time. While there are many of us out there who would love to get this sort of info sent to us there are still lots of people who'd prefer to just call the place up and see what's fresh. Still, you have to admire those who are willing to put themselves out there on the cutting edge of cupcake communications. Delicious indeed!

Odell Brewing's Twitter Beer

2009-04-17T12:29:00.003-06:00

Odell Brewing of Fort Collins, CO has rolled out a Twitter-sourced beer. Odell is a client of Reel Motion Media and we've been helping them every step of the way to connect and engage their fans in a whole new way.

You can follow Odell on twitter at www.twitter.com/odellbrewing. Be sure to suggest your favorite style of beer to be the twitterbrew that will be produced on Odell's famous 5 barrel pilot system.

While we've learned of other twitter inspired beers, like 21st Amendment Brewing's "Spring Tweets", we really hope that Odell's twitter beer will be different as it leverages the homebrew spirit at the core of Odell's culture and allows people who wouldn't normally get to homebrew a chance to get in on the action, if only via Twitter.

From the press release:

A Twitter Taste in Your Mouth

Odell Brewing Releases First Twitter Community Brew

On May 30, 2009, Odell Brewing will release the first Twitter community inspired brew.

Followers have until April 19, 2009 to tweet their suggested beer styles for the first Twitter Brew poll. Subsequent polls will be conducted to determine beer qualities like color, strength, body, and hop character. Twittering beer lovers can also tweet ideas for beer names and tap handle designs.

The voting will end on May 8, 2009 and brewer, Jeff Doyle will then brew the Twitter Brew on Odell Brewing's Pilot brewing system. "There are so many people who are interested in brewing but don't really have the means to do it," said Doyle. "The Twitter Brew will give them the chance to get involved with the whole process."

Twitter brewers can try their beer at the brewery's Tap Room during the tapping party on May 30, 2009.

Odell Brewing is a proud sponsor of the Cicerone Certification program and an award winning brewery, nationally and internationally: 2008 North American Beer Awards â€“ gold medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale. 2008 World Beer CupÂ® â€“ gold medal for IPA, silver medal for Double Pilsner, silver medal for Cutthroat Porter. 2007 Great American Beer FestivalÂ® â€“ gold medal for IPA, silver medal for Easy Street Wheat, bronze medal for Extra Special Red. 2007 Stockholm International Beer Festival â€“ bronze medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale. 2007 Australian International Beer Awards â€“ silver medal for 90 Shilling, silver medal for Cutthroat Porter, silver medal for Easy Street Wheat and bronze medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale.

Three tips for Marketing Success

2009-04-01T11:30:00.003-06:00

1. Do what you've always done: if it's worked for the last 20 years why wouldn't it work for the next 20? Forget about anything new and innovative and stick to what you know. Belittle all those who claim they have ways of connecting to your customers over "the internets." We all know it's just a series of tubes.

2. Tell your customers to shut up: your customers are always trying to give you feedback, help you improve, and let you know where your opportunities are. Tell them to shut their pie-holes. What good could possibly come from listening to those whiny brats anyways? Just because they have great ideas and tell all their friends about everything you do well (and poorly) doesn't mean they can tell you how to run your business. This is capitalism after all, and if they don't like it they can (and will) shop somewhere else while you build the greatest business on earth doing things exactly the way you want.

3. Don't be too exciting: everyone knows that remarkable is forgettable. I mean, who remembers the last time a business totally amazed them? See, that's what I thought. Stick to the boring and dull. There's nothing sexy about a rotary phone, but it gets the job done and that's what you should model your business after. Slow and steady win the race, after all.

Did you find yourself nodding in agreement with any of these? If so, we need to talk because this is just about the exact opposite of the sort of things you should be doing to grow your business. Happy April Fools.

Social Media Flowchart

2009-03-25T10:55:00.002-06:00

Here's a glimpse into one person / company's view of the social media landscape (specifically, Neal Stewart of Flying Dog Brewery)

Take note that every item on there is interconnected to at least one other channel. No channel stands alone, they all work together. This is what agencies mean when they talk about integration in their campaigns. The work you produce in one medium should fuel another which fuels another which fuels six more. Create and connect.

Should you advertise in a recession?

2009-03-23T10:33:00.000-06:00

Yes.

Oh, you wanted a little more to back that up? How about this, from Adrants:

A McGraw-Hill study of 600 businesses found businesses that maintained or increased their ad spend saw higher sales growth during a recession and in the years following. In fact, the study found those who maintained or increased their ad budgets experienced a 256 percent increase in sales compared to those who cut their budgets.

Another study found businesses that advertised during a recession saw their market share increase 2.5 times.

And if you think waiting until the recession is over is a smart thing to do, consider this; a third study revealed 80 percent of the businesses that waited until a post-recession economic expansion to advertise saw zero increase in market share. Which, of course, is obvious since everyone else began advertising again.

But don't take their word for it. Here's a whole book on why spending on new opportunities and smart marketing is smart in a recession.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going... on new ways to grow their business and prepare for the recovery.

Jon Stewart's Take on Twitter

2009-03-13T10:37:00.000-06:00

Yes, Twitter is a great tool to use to connect with your customers. Yes, Twitter can be a great resource for taking the pulse of society. Or learning about breaking news. Or talking with like-minded people you'd never otherwise talk to. But have you ever tried to explain it to someone who'd never used it? It goes something like this...

Tracking Twitter: The Best of the Best

2009-03-11T07:59:00.000-06:00

With over 2000 different services based off of Twitter in existence (and growing every day), it's hard to say if there are any "definitive" rankings of Twitter users. That said, Tracking Twitter seems to take a pretty good stab at ranking brands, celebs, media, etc on Twitter.

Created by NYC digital strategy firm Electric Artists, it's not entirely clear what Tracking Twitter's rankings are based on. It would seem to purely be number of followers, but with some side comments on a few brands it suggests that maybe human's opinion may be a factor too. In any case, is worth a look at some of the best Twits (Tweeple, whatever you want to call people on Twitter) out there to see what they're doing right.

Of special note, Flying Dog Brewery (@flyingdog), formerly based in Colorado, appears at the number 23 spot, the highest rated alcohol brand on the chart. Hard to believe that a craft brewer (ranked in the mid 20s as far as biggest brewer in the nation) could be out Tweeting the big players. That is, unless you've been a follower of @flyingdog. If you are then you understand how they keep their tweets funny, interesting and informative-the perfect mix for attracting more followers.

It's a Great, Big, Social World Out There

2009-03-09T09:10:00.001-06:00

Ever feel a little lost in the ever-changing social media world? Here's a "map" of sorts, a little bit dated, but useful nonetheless.

Remember, it's not about being everywhere at once. In fact, it's the exact opposite. It's about choosing the right networks to accomplish your goals (connect with consumers, connect with others in your industry, connect with total strangers, etc.) If you try to be everywhere with everyone you'll burn yourself out. If you're only on one network you might be missing out.

So do your homework and understand who you're trying to reach. Then, reach out to them in a genuine, honest and interesting way. You might be surprised at the connections you'll make.
