How Art Haus Global achieved success through Social Media - 2

How Art Haus Global achieved success through Social Media - 2

My problem was understanding the Social Media language
 that Jeremy Reynolds from Alpha Social Media
was using to describe what could be possible on the Social Networks .
So I asked Jeremy to focus on language lessons initially .
If you are Boomer Business owner/ manager / Leader / Salesperson
you may relate to this issue .

But ,
don't be intimidated by talk of iTunes and Clouds ,
the Key is to engage a pragmatic Social Media Maketing group
to do all the work for you ,
whilst you are learning the lingo .
A mistake some Business people make
is to wait until they understand how everything Social works ,
before getting started .

Alpha Social Media got started immediately with Social Marketing
the Art Haus Global concept ,
and the results have far exceeded my best expectations .
All of this happened without me initially having a clue .

Would you like your Business propelled to the
front of Social Media ?

How Art Haus Global achieved Success through Social Media - 1

How Art Haus Global achieved Success through Social Media - 1

Art Haus Global started around 2+ years ago with the two-fold  intention of assisting local Artists , and providing an outlet for Artists from Third World countries .

We contacted Jeremy Reynolds at Alpha Social Media
to handle all the Marketing for Art Haus Global .
 The outstanding results that Jeremy Reynolds
and the Alpha Social Media Team have achieved for us
 is absolutely incredible !

Here is part of our story of how the Social Marketing process evolved
for  myself as Director of Art Haus Global .

I initially asked Jeremy Reynolds ,
who is my Son-in-Law ,
to create an effective Social Media Marketing Campaign
for Art Haus Global .
My intention was simply to create Brand Awareness .

However , I had a major problem to overcome ,
being a Baby Boomer I couldnt understand the
Generation X and Y Social Media language .
Jeremy may as well have been talking to me in Latin ,
I had no idea what he was talking about .
Facebook was completely foreign to me ,
as I looked upon it as a fun thing
that my Wife and Daughters and Grandchildren were involved with .

I thought I had more important things to do
than ' Tweet ' ,
which I didnt ' get ' anyway ,
no matter how many times it was explained .
My response was ,
" Why would I want to know
when someone was taking a dump ,
or what they thought of the coffee ?"
It just didn't make any sense .

But ,
that all changed in a big way
when I was hiking mid-winter 2010 ,
and I  fell down a slipery slope ,
which resulted in busting up my leg .

As I was being rescued by the SES Team ,
it dawned on me that this was going to force a change on me .

I was confined to a wheelchair for a little while ,
and was on serious pain-killers ,
which meant normal business meetings were not possible .
So ,
I was stuck in front of the Computer Screen .

As it turned out ,
What an Opportunity !

We will continue with explaining
How Alpha Social Media achieved
great Social Marketing success for Art Haus Global
in the next Part of this Series .

Why create a Social Business Profile - 1

Why create a Social Business Profile ? 1

This is a typical Question that we receive
from our Business / Management / Sales / Leadership Clients
on a regular basis .

Q - How can I keep my personal  life , family , friends ,
separate from from my Business Marketing on Social Media ?

It is possible to maintain separation
between your Personal Profile
and your Business Profile on Social Networks .
The first step is to create a separate Business Profile
on Socially oriented Networks .
This is not necessary on Business focused Networks
like LinkedIn and Plaxo .

We can assist you with guidance as to how to achieve this separation ,
and we can Manage your Social Media Marketing for you .

How to make Franchising Work - 1

How to make Franchising Work - Part 1 .

If you are a Franchisor , or looking into Franchising ,
and asking the Question ,
" How much can I make by Franchising my Business ? "
You are asking the wrong Question .
Instead try asking ,
" How can I Systemise  my Business ? "

If you ask the right question from the outset ,
then you will succeed   with your Franchise Model .
However , if you ask the wrong Question , you will probably fail .

Very few Franchise Consulting Companies will tell you this reality upfront .
Why ?
Because they don't have the courage
 to tell you that you are asking the wrong Question ,
thinking that if they tell you the truth they may lose you as a Client .

In other words , they are saying to you ,
" YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ! ". 

We would rather tell you the Truth upfront
that you are asking the wrong Question ,
and if you get offended and walk away ,
then we know you are not going to make it anyway .
But , if you take our Advice ,
then you are setting yourself up for Success ,
and ,
" YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH ! " . 

For more Information ,
Contact Craig Holme on +61 08 8218 4888 ,
or Mobile 0423 585 932 .
We currently have operations in ,
Australia ,
New Zealand,
and South Africa .
