    Encore Global is a private audio-visual company that specializes large event technology. They are a global company with more than 10,000 employees worldwide. The have annual revenue between $25 and $50 million.

    There is no link to any social media on any page of their website that I could find.

    Encore Global / PSAV seems to do a poor job in general with social media. For a company that has social media convention services, they really should do a better job. If you are trying to sell that you understand social media, you should show that you can adequately use it.

    Hi John, I had a long well thought our post that disappeared. Frustrating.

    This company does have SM links at the bottom of the page. The links work and I found them to be fairly active on SM. Maybe not daily posts but still at least once a week. It appears they use Hootsuite or a similar app to post because the posts are the same across all the SM platforms.

    Personally I like having the SM links at the top of the page. Maybe that's how you missed them. I wonder if the companies that put the links do that for a reason. Perhaps they want you to linger on their web page longer and not leave for perusing social media.

Week 9 Part A

 Adding a Personal Touch   People are scared of new things. People don’t like using products they don’t know or understand. Personal stories can be a great way to introduce people to new products by appealing to their emptions.   A “how-to” blog or vlog can introduce people to a new product. A “how-to” post can be even more effective by showcasing individuals that are also new to the product. Think of old infomercials. They would almost always have a host that was “inexperienced” with the product and a host that was the expert. The expert would show the “novice” how to use the product and it would appeal to the average person. Your blog can do the same.   Case studies can appeal directly to people, the more genuine the better. People like to read about real product experiences. People read reviews on Amazon, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and RateMyProfessors. Blogging can be an easy and curated way to provide your own reviews. Real customer reviews provided as blogs or vlogs can help inspir

 Social Media Management Tools Social media management tools are designed to reduce cost, provide efficiency, and deliver analytics to manage ROI. There are many options. Which option is best for a business depend very much on that business. First, let's examine what they all do. They all integrate multiple social media accounts into a single platform. They all manage post publication and scheduling. They all allow a variety of social media platforms (different amounts for each one). They all coordinate analytics, either onboard analytics, or coordinated external analytics. They all are going to cost. The free versions are basically trials designed to get companies to purchase a subscription service. Now the differences: Sprout Social.  Sprout Social is largely seen as the top of the social media management mountain. Sprout Social manages multiple social media channels with a "cohesive and powerful dashboard" https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-social-media-management-an

Week 10 Part A

 Email Marketing - Newsletters In general, conventions require a great deal of planning. Consequently, convention trends tend to evolve slowly. I feel like AES newsletters should be sent out quarterly.  Most conventions take 6-12 months for planning. Most event planners only handle 1-2 large events per year. Quarterly newsletters would have the best chance of reaching the appropriate audience with timely information; without being overwhelming. New technology features, rollouts, and updates of our service would be the most important things to highlight each quarter. Most technology releases and updates happen on about that timeline, so that would work very well. Even though that information would be the most important, it wouldn't necessarily be the most highlighted information. New and updated trends within the industry would be the most highlighted features. New technology is great, but showing how that new technology supports what the event planners are already working on would
