Pete Blackshaw: ConverStations will be a 2008 Buzzword

By on December 22, 2007 in Conversations, Marketing, Social Media with 2 Comments

Pete Blackshaw at ConsumerGeneratedMedia offers his thoughts on 2008 Buzzwords…and Converstations makes the list.

 "Converstations": Brands now have multiple entry points for meaningful dialogues or conversations with consumers. These are essentially converstations. Brands fully immersed in CGM or social media may have dozens of conversations, from the consumer affairs interfaces and toll-free numbers to the corporate blog. They all matter, and every brand manager should know his or her converstations.

Granted, Pete probably wasn’t thinking of this site in particular (otherwise he’d have spelled it ConverStations, yeah?), but he’s spot on how smart companies should be entering the new year thinking about all the touch points as potential "conversation stations."

Thanks for the (sorta) Buzz, Pete. Here’s to a great 2008

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Thanks for heads up. I figured when I assembled the list that a few of the words lived somewhere in a related or different content. As blogs go sounds like we’re thinking about this similarly, although I supposed I’m suggesting that any consumer-facing touchpoint where some order of dialog is possible is a converstation. either way, we’re on to something. all the best for the holidays.
