So one of the first things that you do after you do announcements is you go around and you introduce yourself and why you're there.
And after a while, I felt like it was like an AA meeting because it started off with some of my computer sports franchisees were there and
they'd jump up and say, I tweet, or, hey, I just checked into Foursquare, and if we all check in, maybe we'll get a badge.
And then after a while, most of the attendees, they'd jump up and they'd say, I haven't a clue what social technology is and social media and marketing, and I need to go home with some new tips and strategies.
I was really, really surprised by the audience how few are involved with social media.
I mean, it just really took me by surprise.
The panelists were great, Century 21, Goddard School, Philly Pretzel, and then we had an attorney, Tracy Diamond, there from Highland Levin to talk about the legal aspects of social media.
But that was surprising to have such a large group attend.
And maybe that's why we had such a large attendance is because they really have not had enough
experience with using social media.
Some had had Facebook pages.
Some knew of Twitter.
But when you talk about people not knowing of Foursquare, there was a group right there that really looked at us and said, I don't know what Foursquare is.
Amazing.
I think there's a purpose for both.
BJ can talk about retail and brick and mortar, but for a service brand,
where we're home-based, there's still a lot we can do with social media to build our web presence, and especially with lead generation.
One of the things that's been throwing me for a loop, but with a big smile, is I'll have prospect calls today, and they'll say, oh, my God, Deb, you're really out there.
We are.
That's what we're trying to do.
