To succeed in social business, organizations need to talk to customers as though they are sitting directly across from them and scale these conversations to reach a broader audience than ever before. To set up social programs for this purpose, focus on 3 steps:

Connect with individuals. Start thinking about what your consumer is doing on social channels – why they are there – and develop programs to those folks based on what they want from that channel

Scale personal interactions. Do not rush in scaling social marketing to gain new customers. Create open, engaging dialogue with a few and you will open your doors to others who take note of not only what you say, but how you say it. (Which is why lurkers are as valuable as the vocal minority.)

Build your social business based on individual conversations and gradual scaling, Over time, you will make decisions to adapt to your audience, drive new programs, or add resources to make this model work.

Paul Pogba scored an absolutely insane goal for Juventus on Saturday. Juve went on to rout Udinese 4-0. We’re pretty sure Sir Alex Ferguson is kicking himself after watching Pogba’s out-of-this-world strike…

Shhhshhhh

Intelligence is classically defined as “the ability to acquire and utilize knowledge.” In testing circumstances, an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is gauged by one’s ability to utilize information gained historically.

Creativity is the ability to come up with new ideas through a mental process…

Neymar strikes again!

But this time, rather than shaking and baking his defender, the Brazilian superstar simply went through him, nutmegging the poor soul with a hard and low shot that also gets past the goalie. What a wonderful goal by Neymar. Joga Bonito!

Can’t stop him, amazing

Here are seven key findings from that report.
#1: More Time Invested in Mobile

The survey found that consumers are increasingly looking to their smartphones and tablets to access social media.

While the PC is still the most widely used device when it comes to social media consumption, the study found that time spent on mobile apps and mobile websites accounted for a 63% increase (compared to 2011) in total time spent.

Additionally, 43% of users said they use smartphones to access social media, while 16% connect using a tablet. 

Another interesting research on consumer behavior and social media
