Does your Travel&Tourism brand know how to engage on Facebook?

Posted by on October 13, 2011

I had the pleasure to present at SMG Tahoe Technology & Marketing 2011 on Facebook for Business with focus on the Travel&Tourism industry. I like the event as it gathers many local and regional folks involved in the travel, tourism, outdoor and recreation industries. I’ve worked with many of them over the years and the event has the feel of a family gathering.

I truly enjoyed the presentations I saw, starting with Troy Thompson from Travel2.0 setting the stage for the day, Mike Henderson from Arborglyph talking about destination marketing videos, Rob Gadtke from KPS3 n mapping media and technology to the buying process and Eric Bengston on Developing an Interactive Strategy.

Below you will find my presentation on how to engage with your fans on Facebook and create a culture and vibrant online community with lots of examples from local and national properties doing it right. I covered custom landing pages, affordable apps, best business practices and measurements. In addition to my presentation, feel free to use my handout on 10 Facebook tips to improve engagement. Some of these tips you can implement today in your Facebook marketing.

It’s 2010. Is Your Business Social – Social Media Workshop

Posted by on October 7, 2010

It's 2010. Is Your Business Social?

Today, I had the incredible opportunity to speak to 35+ executives today in Incline Village at the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation. The audience consisted of many non-profits and small to medium businesses from the area. Some of them have national and international operations. The workshop was 3 hours long and after a hard core group exercise at the end everyone walked out with a social media strategy in hand or at least armed with information and resources to get going in the right direction. We all worked hard in these 3 hours yet we managed to have a lot of fun.

Below are the slides from the presentation. Enjoy and please, use responsibly. If you happen to be in the room, you will notice that I have deleted some of the confidential data slides.

A couple testimonials from the event:

“THANK YOU MILENA!!! You facilitated an amazing workshop! We really appreciate it!” Wendy Losee, Event Organizer

“Thank you for a great workshop today at the Parasol Foundation. I appreciate all of your wisdom and insights into the world of social media.” Robin G., Participant

Thank you guys for being a great audience. Special thanks to Parasol for organizing the event. What did you think about it? What did you learn? Please, leave a comment below.
