Social Media and all that

Whats your view about social media at the moment.

Do you use it to interact with your customers and target audience?

Are you finding it harder or easier of late to speak to the decision makers, do you think social media will make any difference for you? Is it just another phase we are all going through. Do you find that a lot of the ‘experts’ that you come across haven’t been involved all that long? So what makes them expert do you ask? 

So where do you stand on all of this, is it something for you? Should you care and be involved? Well I think it’s something we should all take note of – like it or not, it’s here. And to stay for a while to come. The thing I like most about it is it’s engaging, and people will genuinely help you if they can. But it’s two way, don’t expect to take all the while, you’ve got to give too, otherwise you’ll get nothing from it.

It does seems to me that the smaller the business the more nimble you are and the more responsive you will be. The larger construction companies just don’t quite seem to get it yet.

Well that’s the conclusion I came to when I read this really interesting article form Nick Pauley at Pauley Creative.  In fact having a look at some of the articles Nick has written on his website could be a lesson to a lot of us in Construction.

Made me think about what we are doing, so look out for some subtle changes to our website as a result!

There was also an interesting tweet I came across in the week from Guido Gihaux that had a link to a youtube video about the use of social media in the UK – well worth a view, a lot of other people have picked up on it too.

So all I should say for now is follow me on twitter, link up with us on LinkedIn and become our fan on facebook!
