The New FREE - Next Battleground
Wed. Oct. 7th
How FREE can pay for Social Media, compete against you
and change the competitive marketplace
 
 
In this innovative iBreakfast, we put our money where our mouth is: Its FREE. Like most FREE's you have to read the fine print. Its FREE if you're already a member - and you can bring a GUEST for FREE.

If you're not a member, find one. Or become a member and then you can bring a GUEST for FREE. Of course, you need to do this in advance.

We're using this tactic to make a point - all businesses in the Digital Age are prone to a FREE attack. We want to talk about it and the way it can hollow out a competitor. Can you use It - or will it be used against you.

How do you compete against FREE? And is it possible that marketers are using Social Media the wrong way - by trying to advertise when they should be paying to exploit the FREE. The Digital Age is all about abundance once it taps it, old industries - not just media companies - are at risk.

We will look at some new examples: a company that is on track to reduce the $10 billion text market to $1bn. But then keep most of that money for themselves and the educational community. Mobile and mobile apps are another looming battleground.

What about Government? Electronic Cigarette sites that plan on hollowing out the tobacco industry and the billions it raises in State and Federal taxes by giving away a new FREE substitute cigarette.

How about medical devices, business services and so on? What are the consequences and how can you use this to your advantage? This is the first in a new series to understand the competitive landscape of the next digital revolution.

Report from the Glitter in Twitter II iBreakfast

Phil Perlman, StockTwits
Stephen Gilberg, WineTwits
David Berkowitz, 360i
Ariel Hyatt, CyberPR

By revisiting Twitter we learned that smart marketers have used the microblog platform to develop a following and then build a platform on top of that. Giving people timely, essential information was the key to growing a loyal audience for StockTwits which enables investors to follow the picks of savvy traders. Now, according to Phil Perlman, their website has become a hub for independent investors, traders and other high-value Wall Street players.

Stephen Gilberg used Twitter to build a following for his WineTwits start-up, where wine-lovers could crow about their favorite wines in real time. That has grown into "Social Grapevine", a wine drinkers' social portal with useful filters and Twitter management tools that any social marketer might covet.
White Plains - August 09
David Berkowitz talked about the ways his corporate clients have used Twitter and Social Media Sites to develop business. He even offers a free handbook called "The Social Marketing Playbook."

Ariel Hyatt talked about the ways musicians, mostly independent, but also established artists, have learned to use Social Media to build a following. With Twitter, they have learned, the more personal, the better. After all, they not dealing with customers but fans. While some musicians "just want to play their instrument" many others have figured out the lessons of Godin's "Tribes" and Anderson's "1,000 True Fans." With a following, and no record company to pay back, many musicians have learned how to flourish.
