Participating in your start-ups

One of the joys we get out of organizing community events like BarCamp for Launch Memphis is enabling a whole lot of sharing and connecting. When we’re lucky, we become aware of some of the inspiration that occurs as a result. It’s a huge reward that can’t be taken to the bank.

In the two months since BarCamp Memphis 3, a new startup has evolved with a team of savvy, community minded, techies; they’ve named their business stiQRd (“stickered”). Since an initial inspiration at BarCamp, subsequent participation in TechCoffees, follow-ups on introductions, and raw determination, stiQRd is in a position to be rolling out their Beta version within the month. As if this weren’t already enough, the stiQRd team of five will also be heading into LaunchMemphis’ 48Hour Launch with solid and inspiring momentum.  (check out our Social Expedition podcast interview with stiQRd CEO, Aaron Prather)
stiQRd helps an organization/merchant build loyalty. It does this through enabling loyalty programs designed by the merchants themselves. stiQRd provides loyalty program management and transaction recording via smart phones. Essentially, instead of punching a hole in your frequent shopper card, participants scan a special sticker with their smartphones until some redeemable milestone is reached. Imagine the possibilities!

stiQRd is a Memphis startup company. It’s your Memphis startup too. We must embrace and support all the local startups we feel have potential because we all ultimately benefit. Startups, no matter how small, are a boost to the local economy. Seriously. We are coming into an era where Memphis, in all its funky diversity, is finally finding a way to tap into our own inspiration and ingenuity. We know you want to be a part and to help; Here’s how:

  • Support local startups by participating and supporting Launch Memphis activities
  • Learn about the startups that are afoot and support them as individuals and businesses
  • Give local startups an extra double-shot of consideration

Here’s what you do:

  1. Sign-up to be a beta tester at stiQRd.com
  2. Tell your retailer friends to email stiQRd for more info at social@stiqrd.com
  3. On Twitter, follow @stiqrd and @launchmemphis
  4. On Facebook, LIKE stiQRd and LaunchMemphis (& LunaWeb while there)
  5. Bring your awesome ingeniousness to 48Hour Launch and have an experience you’ll never forget.
  6. If you can’t make it to the entire event, show up at Emerge Memphis at 516 Tennessee St. on Sunday Jan30 at 6:00pm and for when the new startups present their businesses and cheer them on!

You've been hidden! What can you do?

Posted by lunaweb on July 22, 2010 No Responses »

Around mid-May, we noted in a Facebook post (with this video) that Insights for fanpages will now show how many people have hidden your updates from their news feed. If it sparked your curiosity, maybe you went and saw how many people have chosen to hide you. But then what? There’s nothing you can do about those lost fans. You can’t send them a reminder that they’ve hidden you or a promise to do better. The best you can do is try to pinpoint a cause for any flux (maybe you were promoting a big event and went overboard). If your graph looks more like a steady incline, though, it might be time to rethink your posting strategy.

Now this isn’t the end-all-be-all list of Facebook Post Categories, but after some consideration, we think posts from businesses fall into one of the following ilks:

  1. Horn-toots for the company.
  2. Horn-toots for an employee or employees.
  3. Horn-toots for clients, partners, or causes.
  4. Links to information.
  5. Requests for response.
  6. Idle chatter.

Now, there is a time and place for horn-tooting. And there’s even more time and place for horn-tooting the merits of others, like local business, your clients, or the latest fundraising campaign. But how much is too much? Dominating your customers walls is not the goal, and certainly being absent is not good either. What is the right ratio of types of posts to frequency that will leave you with lots of impressions, but few hiders?

Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing. Even assuming you are putting out a great ratio of self-promotion to outside-promotion and being an engager instead of yacker, it still depends on your audience. The number of times you appear on their wall varies by how much you post, of course, but also how many friends they have, how often they post, and whether or not they are set to “Top News” or “Most Recent.”

Then, of course, there is your content. How much meaty content can you reasonably expect to have in a given period of time? Is it better to only post good content, or post frequently enough to be a presence in the news feed?

Here’s the good news: you can ask. Ask your customers what they think of your content and your frequency. Ask them in person. Ask them on Facebook. Not only is this a great way to engage your clients, but it’s a great way to show that you care about their opinions. The fact of the matter is that everyone is constantly trying to adjust and update their social media presence. By it’s very nature, social media is ever-fluctuating, and so are the expectations. No one will hold it against you or think less of you for asking for advice on your strategy, because they’re probably in the same boat.

We’ll start. What do you think of our social media life?
