From a traditional media perspective, traditional media still works and it works very well - maybe they just need to combine social media too - for example, a newspaper site can have a very well read Facebook page and Twitter feed. Thank you for your feedback!

But if you think about it, one of the main problems with print is that it's not as easily traceable. I think that for businesses that consistently monitor their social media engagement and compare month-to-month numbers, it could be a way to track the effectiveness of print. Plus, they can devote a budget to smaller, more frequent, print ads to recruit engagement and save the price and item promotions as rewards to their followers.

Cross-promoting social media on traditional media makes sense as companies are trying to generate more active engagement and dialogue. A lot of companies are using outdoor as a way to get more people to their Facebook pages and Twitter feeds. Fewer companies are using print advertising. TV seems to be popular as well. I see nothing wrong with cross-promoting social media networks on traditional media. A company can send out an email blast and a person can leave a comment on their Facebook page. People who want to engage in a dialogue with a brand will do so on social media - there is no way to do so with traditional media. Companies that actively seek engagement will win in the long run.

I've seen plenty of ads that have a little twitter of facebook icon near their contact information, but do you think it'll ever get to the point -- or is it already going there -- where businesses use traditional marketing to spread the word quicker and garner more participation with social media campaigns? I'm just wondering if promoting social engagement on a platform that doesn't allow for response or feedback will backfire. Thanks!

I am convinced you are one of the handful (small) of folks in the area that really "get" social media and prove it by practicing what you preach. You are a great asset to the community. Thanks!!
