Iowa Hospital Association Social Media Conference

Written by george | Jun 16, 2010 12:00:00 AM

After attending a great conference this past week - I felt the need to blog about my top ten takeaways.

  1. There's a lot of value in building relationships but keep in mind - it's hard to measure
  2. While social media tools may be free - resourcing them is not
  3. Public posts on Facebook are now opened to be searched
  4. Social Media University Global (SMUG) site - definitely worth checking out
  5. Even if you don't get started right away - claim your space before someone else does
  6. While it may take some time up front - have your policies in place first
  7. Social media is a commitment - not a campaign
  8. If you are not ready to get started - you should still be listening
  9. It's ok to monitor your comments before publishing, or to not allow commenting right away
  10. It all starts with tremendous customer service
