Integration of Social Media with Mainline Marketing Programs is Key to Success in 2010

Corvallis, OR (PRWEB) January 6, 2010

A social media strategy cannot stand alone to fully promote a brand, said Hope-Johnstone, to reach full marketing impact, you must integrate social media into a complete marketing approach. You must develop a marketing strategy that reaches as many of the ‘touch points’ as possible with your consumers.

Based on the popularity of his social media blog, http://www.buzzmaster.wordpress.com and his marketing book, How to Market Tourism in the 21st Century, http://www.johnhopejohnstone.com, John Hope-Johnstone has opened a new Public Relations and Social Media coaching organization “HPR Social Media”. HPR assists organizations and individuals to integrate their social media campaigns within their full marketing program.

“We heard clients say too often,” continued Hope-Johnstone, “that they were cutting back on other marketing tools and adding more social media because they believe that it’s inexpensive. Well, social media is labor intensive and, if done properly, it is not cheap.”

Social media is another tool in the markekting arsenal, it is not a stand alone product, as it is being used by so many organizations today.

We have, in the past, continued Hope-Johnstone, tried stand alone social media strategies. While they provided adequate public relations returns, they did not reach their full potential until they were combined into a unified program that utilized as many of the tools of marketing as possible. In 2009, Corvallis Tourism under my direction won the Governors Tourism Award for New Marketing Programs by integrating a social media strategy with other marketing tools, we would not have had the amazing results we achieved in that promotion, had we not used social media combined with other marketing tools to create a complete marketing approach.

HPR Social Media has developed a suite of scenarios that combine excellent social media strategies that complement and support the full brand marketing program. They are part of the gestalt of marketing and not separate.

In November 2009, HPR began coaching diverse clients in social media integration including; Tourism regions such as Sunset Country in Ontario Canada, Real Estate companies, Trade Associations, Community Colleges and non-profit organizations.

The response to our social media integration technique has been overwhelming, stated John Hope-Johnstone, We offer Social Media integration. We also offer social media seminars and one-on-one coaching. We are not bound geographically and use WebEx to reach organizations and individuals through live Webinars when in-person is not a possibility. This allows us to offer our services nationally and internationally.

MailChimp Announces Integration With Orchard CMS

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 16, 2011

MailChimp today announced the integration of Orchard CMS, providing an easy path for site owners to support email signups and build their lists. Emails are a natural tie in to CMSs and publishing, providing an excellent path for publishers to continue the conversation with their readers after they have left the website.

UK-based start-up, Pianola, developed the Mailchimp sign-up form module and recently released it to the Orchard CMS community. Orchard is new open-source content management system developed by a team at Microsoft to run on ASP.NET MVC.

Ive really enjoyed working with ASP.NET MVC since it came out,” Pianola lead developer Richard Garside said. When I heard it was at the heart of Orchard, Microsofts new Open Source CMS, I wanted to be involved early on. A really nice community of people have built up around Orchard and its good to play a small part by contributing modules to the project. The MailChimp module will help us, but its also great to be able to share it with others too.

Founder and CEO of Pianola, James Ward said: Were big fans of Mailchimps capabilities so the decision to use the service to build our list was a no-brainer. Our coming soon site is built using Orchard. Rather than hard code the sign-up form straight into our site we decided to create it as a reusable module and release it to the community so that others could integrate Mailchimp easily into their own Orchard sites too.

Pianola is a new online application providing smart tools for bridge club managers and players. It allows managers to maintain their membership list synchronized in one place, publish results online, easily upload play data to their national bridge organization in just a couple of clicks, issue membership renewals and keep accounts.

Players can use Pianola to find partners, record, track and analyze their performance in their own personalized history, and share, compare and discuss their game with other players online.

Learn more about Pianola at http://www.pianola.net.

MailChimp Announces Email Advertising Integration with LaunchBit

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

MailChimp today announced an integration with LaunchBit, an advertising network for email. This service connects high quality email publishers and advertisers. Companies can reach into developed, niche markets through a trusted source, publishers are compensated, and subscribers hear about products and services relevant to their interests. LaunchBit’s integration with MailChimp streamlines this process.

Email is one of the most effective channels through which businesses can connect with people. However, the process of partnering companies with relevant email newsletters can be inefficient. For publishers, it can be time consuming and difficult to sell ads. Plus many existing ad networks just drop random ad content into an otherwise stellar newsletter, and for a publisher who has worked hard to gain an audience’s trust, this can be a disaster. For advertisers, it can be equally tough to find complementary newsletters, ensuring reach to the right audiences.

LaunchBit organizes publishers and advertisers, so it’s simple for a business to contact a relevant newsletter, or for a publisher to select an advertiser or promotional partner for themselves. The ads are text based with just a small image so a promotion feels more like extra content, rather than an intrusive advertisement. LaunchBit also screens both publishers and advertisers to guarantee the quality of the newsletter and of the advertisement.

“We’re excited to partner with MailChimp to help newsletter publishers monetize their emails with great-looking advertising.” says Elizabeth Yin, LaunchBit CEO. “The future of advertising is really just quality content, and we think this is a first step in that direction.”

LaunchBit managed ads are text-based with a small image, rather than a full-scale banner ad, and match the tone of the given newsletter. Publishers have full control over which ads are published, can pick and choose which advertisers to partner with, and can accept or reject any partnership offer.

To start the process, a publisher first syncs his or her MailChimp account with LaunchBit, and then just needs to insert a short line of HTML with merge tags into their MailChimp template to enable advertising in their newsletter. A publisher can then select advertising partners within LaunchBit, and the selected ad content will be automatically placed into the appropriate spot within the email in MailChimp.

One publisher using LaunchBit since their launch is Hacker Newsletter, started by Kale Davis. LaunchBit has been a great partner to work with and has allowed me to focus on creating great issues instead of finding advertisers. says Kale. Their new integration with MailChimp makes it even easier and the relevant advertisers add more value for the subscribers of my newsletter.
