Is your magazine frumpy? Is your blog out-of-date? Are your social media efforts mismatched?

Join Elizabeth Engel (Spark Consulting, LLC) and Mitch Arnowitz (Tuvel Communications) at MGI (623 N. Washington Street Alexandria, Virginia) for ASAE’s November Alexandria Brown Bag on Thursday, November 15, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm.

Mitch and Elizabeth and a panel of experts (aka the Brown Bag attendees) will provide on-the-spot analysis and advice for the samples you bring to help improve your marketing and communications efforts.

This will be an interactive session with a computer and Internet access available for pieces like your website, landing pages, or social media outposts. If you’d like the group to look at a print piece (like a brochure, postcard, magazine, etc.), please bring enough that we can pass them around (say 5-8 copies).

Show off what’s working at your organization, or get the input you need to take your marketing and communications efforts to the next level.

Register now, it’s free! See you there.

VIDEO: The Power of Social Media

by

The Case Foundation recently launched this amazing video called “The Power of Social Media: Connecting for Good.” It really resonated with us here at Tuvel – one of our mantras around here is “Social media isn’t just about Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter – it’s about being social.” That’s exactly what this video illustrates so vividly, especially when it comes to using social media to mobilize supporters around a cause. We’ve done this with organizations like Share Our Strength, Venture Philanthropy Partners and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Enjoy the video, and I hope it inspires you to do GREAT things with social media!

5 Social Media Infographics You MUST Read

by

Who doesn’t love an infographic? We sure do! And there are lots of them out there – but not all of them provide information you can take away and use. These are 5 social media infographics we think present truly useful information – whether you’re kick-starting social media efforts or looking to improve your current social media program.

Social Media Infographics

Social Media Advertising Reaching New Heights: If running ads on social networks like Facebook is something you’re considering, this infographic provides some helpful guidance on the current landscape and how valuable social media ads are to marketers.

Pinterest Deconstructed for eTailers and Content Marketers: Pinterest is the 3rd most popular social network on the web at the moment, and this infographic gives you the “who, what, where & when” to help you utilize Pinterest effectively.

How to Train Employees to Handle Social Media: According to this infographic, 48% of senior financial executives (apparently the industry used for this survey) feel that “social media will be an important component of corporate marketing efforts going forward.” So how can you train your employees to handle these efforts in the most effective way possible? This is an excellent how-to infographic.

7 Reasons to Embrace Online Culture: We have a saying here at Tuvel: Social media isn’t just Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn – it’s all about being social. It’s not enough to just be on social media, your brand must be social to survive and benefit. This infographic gives 7 reasons why.

Email Marketing + Social Media: We have another saying here at Tuvel: It’s not one thing you do, it’s everything you do. So if you’re not integrating social media and social sharing into your email campaigns, you’re missing out on some big marketing benefits.
