Announcing the Launch of New England Social Media

0

I am excited to announce that QuickWhatsUp.com, the company behind events such as the Rhode Island World of Flavors, the Rhode Island Comedy Quest, and the Iron Bartender Mixology Competition, is launching a new division today.

New England Social Media will produce Facebook, Twitter, blogging and email campaigns for companies looking to boost their online presence.  The focus is on helping businesses engage with their customers by perpetually generating compelling content.  In this day and age, it’s not enough to have a static website.  You need to be consistently updating it and constantly conversing with customers through social media channels like Facebook and Twitter.  We’re not talking about online advertising; we’re talking about having real conversations with your customers.  Frankly, it’s a lot for small businesses that are already overloaded, but it’s also too important for them to ignore.  So we are here to manage help you manage your social media presence, including:

New England Social Media was the natural outgrowth of QuickWhatsUp.com.  QuickWhatsUp.com was already employing social media marketing strategies in the promotion of its own events, such as the Rhode Island World of Flavors Competition.  Eventually, I began teaching social media to others, offering seminars on Facebook and Twitter for small businesses at the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation.  QuickWhatsUp.com began orchestrating social media strategies for clients like the Twin River Casino and the Newport Comedy Series, so it was a natural leap to extend these services to others.

“As a consultant for Every Company Counts, Seth provided business owners with quality information and guidance in regards to Social Networking workshops he has presented here at Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation. He has picked apart the inner workings of Facebook and Twitter and made it available for all levels to understand.  In a time where following the path of yesterday just does not cut it, Seth helps remind small business that thinking ahead and embracing the Social Media wave will help grow their business like never before.”

—Elizabeth Perry, Business Development Account Manager for the Rhode Island Economic Development’s small business initiative, Every Company Counts.


The social media revolution is here and it’s not just for young people.  Twitter has experienced quadruple-digit growth in the last year.  Facebook’s fastest growing demographic is people over the age of 35.  According to Forrester Research, only 18% of adults don’t use social media.  Social media can offer an extremely cost-effective marketing alternative for many businesses - especially in this economic climate - but there are not many resources for local companies who want to tackle the internet.  So I am proud to offer these services to you.


I will be hosting a free seminar on Twitter for Businesses at the Rhode Island Economic Development Center this Friday, September 18th at 9:00 am.  The RIEDC is located at 315 Iron Horse Way, Suite 101, Providence, Rhode Island.  I would love to see you there.

Thank you for your continued support,

Seth Resler
President
