WELCOME
Welcome to Social Fresh Conference. We believe youre better
equipped to accomplish your goals when you can connect with
like-minded people. We believe businesses are best when they are
human.
While at Social Fresh, we want you to keep a couple of things in mind.
1. Actively Think Of Helping Others
What have you learned lately that has helped your marketing or your
company? What technology or tool has changed how you do busi-
ness? Who do you know that could be a valuable resource for some-
one else?
When youre talking to the folks sitting beside you, networking at
lunch and having amazing hallway discussions, always keep this in
mind.
2. Have A Goal
We are in an ADHD, multi-tasking world and we have tons of projects,
challenges and goals. Pick one marketing challenge to focus on at
Social Fresh.
What social network is the most challenging? Which part of your mar-
keting program isnt working? Let people know and ask for help.
3. Start Your Inspiration List
Being more creative in life and in business requires inspiration. Or as I
like to say, you need to brush up against life. There is an abundance of
life for you to brush up against at Social Fresh.
Catalog it. Bookmark every tip, trick, tactic and idea you pick up at the
conference.
To big ideas,
Jason Keath CEO, Social Fresh

4 Tips For Getting More Instagram Followers
1. Jumpstart Your Existing Audiences
This is back to basics stuf here, but sometimes we forget the most
simple steps.
Remember that your email subscribers, Facebook fans and Twitter
followers are probably interested in Instagram themselves.
Let them know that your brand is using Instagram and
encourage them to follow your account.
Remember all your touchpoints like in-store signage, website
call-outs and more. Dont expect people to just fnd you on their
own; be sure to include your handle, not just the Instagram logo.
2. Content + Engagement
Have a content plan. Dont just post a photo because you havent
in a while. Instagram is a highly efective channel for awareness and
engagement, so if you use it, give just as much attention as you
would any other channel.
3. Utilize Relevant Hashtags
Hashtags allow people to fnd photos that match their interests.
In a click and get economy, people tag content so they can
connect to a larger audience. Make sure your posts can be found
by using hashtags relevant to your brand and content. Use sites
like tagsforlikes.com to research popular Instagram hashtags.
4. Consider Running a Contest
What better way to create visual content around your brand than
bringing your community into the fray themselves?
Encourage users to share a pic of their favorite outft or their
best memory of a trip, especially if that moment relates back to
your brand. Enable your fans to share what they love about your
brand or location and use a branded hashtag to track responses.

Article excerpts from SocialFresh.com
How to Inspire More Positive Social Reviews
Recent research shows that 81 percent of travelers fnd user
reviews important (some people visit up to 11 review sites before
booking hotel rooms), and 49 percent of travelers wont even
book a property that doesnt have online reviews.
Positive online reviews are critical for attracting new customers.
Of course, realizing it is the easy part so how can you get your
customers to post more reviews on social media and review sites
and draw prospective guests in the door?
People are already inclined to share outstanding experiences with
their friends, especially when it comes to social media.
So your number one job as a business owner is to ensure your
customers actually have a great experience because being the
best is always buzz-worthy.
The best way to get more reviews is simply to ask for them two-thirds
of solicited reviews will be positive, so you have nothing to lose.
Make it convenient for reviewers to share compliments with
social media communities as soon as possible. Every day that
passes after their experience means the customer remembers
fewer details. Consider giving incentives to users who leave
positive reviews.
And fnally, a huge part of encouraging more reviews is
connecting with the people who post comments about you
on social media sites. Be sure to share and celebrate their
compliments and address their concerns.

How to Grow Your Email List with a Simple
Twitter Trick
So youve spent hours and hours blogging and getting the word
out about about your articles, now what?
You probably work to reach out and respond to the folks who
have shared your content on diferent social sites, but why stop
there? Why not convert them into a new email subscriber to
further build a relationship with them?
Theyre already primed for connection since they have shown
an interest in your writing and a small sign of personal, human
interaction e.g. @nickcicero thanks for sharing, Nick!
compels people to reciprocate.
Enter the Twitter Lead Generation Card.
Simply visit ads.twitter.com, choose creatives then cards to
set up a card with a sample message like Get my content frst &
receive exclusive content in your inbox.
With your simple follow up tweet and a click your user gives
their email without ever leaving Twitter. Simply download the
contacts and import them into your email provider or CRM of
choice.
You can even go one step further, building a separate email list
from these contacts to increase your audience segmentation.
How do Twitter users respond to your emails? Now you can fnd
out.
Email is not dead. Its just getting started. Your contact list is
the holy grail. Its easier than you think to grow your email lists
without being intrusive or relying on a web signup form.

How to Name Your Pinterest Boards
Its no secret that Pinterest is one of the most used social network
sites of today. As the visual web expands, organizing your content
for consumer discovery is crucial.
One of the easiest ways to be found through Pinterest search is
by having a searchable board name.
Look at your industry and make a diagram of anything that can
relate back to you. Think of it as a web, with your specifc product
or industry in the middle: what can branch out from that?
Grab their attention but dont blur the lines while using
keywords is helpful for searches, be clear while still being creative.
If you can add a little humor, you can make the board all the more
appealing.
A perfect example is dry cleaning service Classic Cleaners. While
it seems obvious that they would pin about fashion, the way the
boards are broken out and titled gives them a leg up on some of
their competitors. Instead of simply naming boards like Mens
Fashion or Womens Fashion they used attention grabbing titles
like Bag, Lady?
This board could have easily been named Purses and Fashion
Fanatics or could have just been Fashion. But none of those other

Staying Fresh
Social Fresh Conference takes place over a few days, but the ideas youll
gain and the people youll meet will stay with you for much longer.
To get the most out of your experience, consider how Social Fresh will
be helpful to you next month and next year.
1. Stay in Touch
The people you meet at Social Fresh will be a lasting resource for you.
Exchange business cards. Follow them on Twitter. Most importantly
reach out.
Ask how you can help. Support their projects. Meet them for cofee.
2. Refer Back to Your Challenge
At the beginning of the conference, we asked you to defne one
marketing challenge to be mindful of during your time at Social Fresh.
Did you get ideas and resources that will help you with this
challenge? Can the people you met help you continue to solve this
pain point?
3. Extend the Conference Mindset
Social Fresh exists outside of our social media conferences.
The Social Fresh blog is an ongoing resource for your inspiration and
education: SocialFresh.com
The Social Fresh Insights email newsletter brings the best of the webs
social media insights right to your inbox: SocialFresh.com/subscribe
And the Social Fresh community is here to help. We encourage you to
reach out to the Social Fresh staf, speakers, and attendees you met.
Thanks for making Social Fresh Conference 2014 a success. See you
next year!
