Simple Marketing Now Update - May 2011

May 2011 SIMPLE MARKETING NOW UPDATE

I'm just back from the MarketingProfs B2B Forum in Boston which explains why I'm so late getting out to you this  May 2011 update from Simple Marketing Now with posts categorized into Social Media Marketing Resources and Simple Marketing News.

[If you are new to Flooring The Consumer, I also write the Simple Marketing Blog where I discuss marketing strategy and creative, practical, simple marketing approaches and share best practices - many of which may be relevant to you and your business as you consider what's possible. The blog also acts as newsroom for Simple Marketing Now.]

Simple Marketing News for May 2011

My biggest news from May had to do with the presentation that I gave last week at the MarketingProfs B2B Forum 2011 in Boston.  Here is the release: Generate More Leads With Social Media: MarketingProfs B2B Forum Presentation Offers Advice. [Thank you to those of you who helped me out with Survey: How Do You Generate Leads? Need Your Help!]

I also on 5/10/11 shared with the NJ American Marketing Association my Presentation from March on Managing Your Reputation in a Social World.  What a terrific audience! I'm looking forward to attending more NJ AMA meetings.

Social Media Marketing Resources:

I have many social media marketing resources to share with you. Dave Foster and I continued our social media marketing series with a focus on Google For Search & Discovery: TalkFloor Social Media Marketing Series.

I recapped the fascinating panel discussion I took part in in April in Social, Mobile, Legal: NY Law School 2011 Conference.

Here is a summary of my NJ AMA presentation: Recapping NJ AMA 5/10/11 Presentation: Managing Your Social Reputation.

I recaptured Right Brain/Left Brain in Business: a CBSAC/NY Event [where I reconnected with CBS classmates!] and commented on the significance of the Social Flooring Index update in Online Conversations Evolve on Floor Covering Institute.

I share inspiration here in Blogging and Community: Worth Embracing! and offer a how-to guide in How To Manage Your Online Reputation.

Finally, here are the latest links to articles and news about practical marketing on Twitter, coded #PracticalMktr:
