Five Lies About Social Media Marketing

2011-07-27T07:56:00.000-07:00

Size matters. Many small businesses equate the number of "likes" or "followers" on branded social-media platforms to success, not realizing that it's the quality of those likes and followers that is important. More people signing up to view your message doesn't necessarily equate an increase in sales or even a bump in long-term or sustainable brand recognition.
The medium is the message. Just because it's Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace or some other newfangled online or mobile-powered platform, the message still carries more weight than the medium. It's always been about the message. It's not about the platform or the technology. The technology is just a tool, and just because younger people were the first to use Twitter and Facebook, don't think for a moment that older employees can't effectively use them just as well.
Social media gurus really do exist. No, they don't. Here's my advice when you run across someone positioning himself or herself as a "social media guru" or expert. Run for the exit. Everybody working in this field is practicing on the job training. Just because they've written a book like I have or spoken in public about the do's and don'ts of social media, doesn't mean they know your business and how to conceptualize and manage campaigns that hit upon your business-related goals.
Social media is 'new' media. No, it isn't. Media is media. At one point or another, newspapers, radio, television and the Internet were considered new forms of media and now they're labeled as "traditional" media. So "new" media doesn't mean that only "experts" or young hotshots can successfully operate your social-media team. That's hogwash. Nothing replaces knowledge of the basics of marketing, combined with knowledge of your business-related goals and the need for authenticity and transparency in your socially laden communications.
Social media can be effectively outsourced to a PR firm. Nobody knows your business like the people who work inside your building. You can certainly work with an agency to set up and implement your social media-related efforts or to propose ideas for contests and the like. But when it comes to communicating your messages on a daily basis, your people are in the best position to keep your community of customers and prospects up to date and informed about what really matters to them.

Salesperson & Employee of the Half Year Goes to....

2010-07-20T08:23:00.000-07:00

Our salesperson of First Half Year 2010 is…………….

LEE BROMLEY!

Lee has been working at Gamma for over 2 years now and he has consistently gone the extra mile. He has taken his performance from being one of the lowest in the sales team to, today, being our star performer in the first half. No overnight success, simply pure hard work, commitment and focus. A fantastic example to the whole team.

Our employee of First Half Year 2010 is..............

TRACEY SMITH!

For the first time in Gamma history it has gone to someone in sales.
Here are some of the comments about Tracey -

“She is a great role model, leads by example, and the new sales office looks fantastic”

“She is always there to help people….. always works hard, and will always listen”

"Always humble, always honest and always loyal to our company. Tracey has done an amazing job, in incredibly difficult times."

Well done to both Lee and Tracey.

Red Nose Day at Gamma Global

2010-03-16T08:54:00.000-07:00

Red Nose Day at Gamma Global

This years Red Nose Day was all about Doing Something Funny for Money.

At Gamma we like always like to get stuck in and have some fun and this was a great opportunity to do just that and raise some money for a great cause.

Friday 13th March 2010

We all came dressed in something red and made a donation
We bought Comic Relief Merchandise such as red noses and whoopee cushions
We donated £10 for every UK order that we received on the day
We paid for our MD (Martin Smith) to do something funny for money:

Martina arrived in his dress, make-up and accessories for a day in the office
Martina attended a number of meetings in his attire
He enjoyed his time dressed as a lady and is now considering having regular Martina days

We employed a new tea boy for the afternoon
Martin makes a wonderful cup of tea
And he isn’t bad at washing up either
Our cleaner has got a fight on her hands

His afternoon attire consisted of Y-Fronts and braces which he wore very proudly over his trousers (notice that his make-up is still on)

Overall, we had a great day and managed to raise a total of £650 for Comic Relief!

Thanks for your support everyone!
