Pat:

Thanks for the great post. Real-life examples are often the best inputs to a differentiated product or marketing strategy. One of the things that we try to do at Pitney Bowes is provide tangible examples of how big marketers successfully communicate with customers, so that small businesses can emulate those communications.

To that end, I’m including a link to a post written by Jane Applegate on how small businesses can better differentiate from their competition. One of Jane’s main points is the need for real-world examples – she suggests tapping into industry experts at events and vendors, among other things – to drive to better decision making.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about Jane’s post and about the broader site.

Thanks,
Justin

Fantastic article! It is going to be interesting to watch how vital Social Media will be for marketing and the internet as a whole. Where I work we have been developing a social media monitoring tool to keep an eye on the SM industry. How do you think services like ours can impact the industry?

I have been using social media over the past few years to promote my real estate business. Only until the past few months since I have been consistently posting helpful blogs, videos, and pictures of both my personal and real estate career have I been getting more buyers and sellers from twitter and facebook. I have also been utilizing other tools such as hootsuite to automatically send out daily helpful real estate information across all of my social media brands. I think this approach has inclined my online friends to be more engaging and promote conversations about real estate. With that said, I think my competitive advantage is my willingness to use different platforms to educate people about the local real estate market and the homebuying process. I find your blog to be an important hub of knowledge that I use to enhance my approach to marketing my online business.

I do my best to stick to the basics and addressing the beginner rather than the accomplished expert.
