Social media education
Social business is poised to have as much of an impact on
business as the Internet, with results that will resonate both
inside and outside of organizations. Social business is
moving in the same direction as the Internet was 10 or 12
years ago, according to Scott Neuman, director, IBM Social
Business Marketing. Interacting with customers via social
technology not only raises awareness and sales, but also can
offer insight into customer behavior and preferences.
The Digital Marketing on PartnerWorld page consolidates
a group of valuable resources available for IBM Business
Partners that can be aligned to the digital component of
their marketing strategy, including:
•
Education
•
IBM web content syndication
•
Contacts for marketing firms that can support you using
co-marketing funds
Co-Marketing Communications
In order to quickly and easily provide you with key
marketing information, we will contact you in multiple
ways. We continue to use PartnerWorld communications,
the IBM Mid-Market Business Partner LinkedIn Group,
and our custom email list. To ensure you are on our
custom email list, send a note to [email protected] and
request that your name be added to the list. You will find
a wealth of valuable IBM information on the IBM MidMarket LinkedIn Group, so be sure that you are part of
this group.
We plan to provide information to assist you in your
marketing and sales processes. We will alert you to:
• IBM Mid-Market Co-Marketing announcements and
deadlines
• PartnerWorld announcements and updates
•
IBM for Midsize Businesses Facebook page
• Web content syndication links
•
