April 2010 Schipul newsletter - tips, updates and more!

Hello!

Spring time has arrived here at Schipul and with it, brings exciting new projects and news that we would love to share. A lot has been going on so let’s jump right in!

Social Media Tips, Tricks and News just for You!

The internet changes faster than the speed of light and we know that it can feel tough to stay ‘in the know’ around what’s happening on the Web. Check out the latest news below!

1. Do you use Twitter as a marketing tool? If you plan on connecting with clients on Twitter, be sure to read this official Twitter 101 for Business guide for great case studies and the best practices to help you Tweet your way to success!

2. No it’s not a playground game – the hottest mobile application these days is FourSquare, a free tee tool that let’s you (or your clients!) check-in from any location around town. Read this piece on the business potential of location-based services like Foursquare and check out this fun article on the ‘5 Stages of Foursquare Use’ to learn how you can get the most out of this interactive tool.

3. Speaking of great online marketing tools, Facebook has launched a new weekly email update feature to help you track you Facebook’s page’s marketing success - read this great Facebook marketing blog post for more info!

4. Shooting you next podcast or video blog doesn’t have to be a Hollywood production. It can be as easy as shoot-and-uploade using Qik video. Qik is mobile video tool that allows you to upload videos shot from your cell phone. Schipul client Congressman Culberson has pioneered the way Qik is being used on the political scene. How can you revolutionize YOUR industry with video?

5. One last thing…. If you own an iPhone (or iPad!) and need to organize your world, consider downloading the Evernote iPhone App. This allows you to create notes, Snap photos, and record voice memos from your iPhone and sync them with your computer at home or work. One cool feature is you can take photos of business cards and it will recognize and record the text automatically. Be sure to download it!
