Call for Speakers: The Social Media Jungle: Leveraging Social Media for YOU (and your business)

I'm looking for a people who would like to be considered discussion leaders at The Social Media Jungle: Leveraging Social Media for YOU (and your business), taking place on November 13th in Melville, New York.

In the few weeks since I decided to host an event, the landscape has changed.

Friends are now worried about losing their marketing budgets for next year, others are worried about their jobs. The effects of the economy are weighing in on just about everyone.

So I decided to re-cast what I was originally planning and instead have a day which will focus on how social media will change the way we work and live. Some of the thoughts include: "How social media will disrupt our workplace by empowering companies to LOWER their burn rate", as well as a discussion on how to be the consummate online networker (as well as in the real world), so friends can get ahead of the curve should things continue to go south.

If this is a topic area that you find yourself passionate about, please contact me. As far as the specific topics to be discussed, I'm open to ideas and suggestions. If you would like to be a discussion leader, or if you know someone who you feel could contribute to this , please email: jeffp@pulver.com ASAP. I'm looking to confirm most of the speakers over the next few days and then open up registration for the first 50-75 people who would like to spend the day exploring these topics.

Part of the day will be broadcast live from inside the pulverTV studios. I’m also looking for people to volunteer to help produce, direct and host some of the live segments.

And if you would like to be one of our event sponsors, just let me know.

I e-mailed you yesterday but I see that the e-mail was never delivered.

Good Day Jeff:

I would be honored to be a discussion leader at your event next month.

I'm presenting a workshop on Nov 17th for Minority Certified Businesses on "Successfully Marketing Your Brand Through Social Media" I produced a similar workshop for this organization and their exec board in February of this year and the follow up workshop I'm doing is also because of the changing landscape. When I presented in February Twitter was just getting its legs now I devoting about 15 minutes just to talk about Twitter.

We're located in NYC and my company is a video production company and corporate event production company so we would be honored in assisting you with the execution of your event

I have a Blog Minority Business Matters where you can my articles and some of my videos as well. Please contact me if you need anything else.

Have a GREAT weekend,

Jeff, I think your timing and content is Spot On. Perhaps with shrinking marketing budgets the timing for Social Media Marketing has never been better.

Over the last three years Urbane Apartments have ceased traditional marketing efforts in exchange for a myspace site, a facebook site, YouTube and flickr sites. We also use twitter regularly. To further integrate we started a Social Network site on Ning.com, the Urbane Lobby
Our Goal; To provide our residents with an experience and value with a high enough return to create enough Customer Evangelists within our core resident base that they self rent our apartments. We are working hard to lead our resident Influencers within our core resident base, and have transitioned most of our marketing budget inward, to further focus on our existing residents. Only good things have happened from this move. Resident retention has significantly improved, and we have created a forum and a field for the Influencers to participate. Along the path we hope to become Social Media experts based on our experience as to what works for multifamily and what doesn’t. We are learning as we go, but are seeing stellar results.

Perhaps the greatest benefit for us by utilizing these tactics and strategies is that when a potential resident does a Google search for Royal Oak Apartments, Urbane Apartments pop up on page one, number four or five consistently, which then typically drives the prospect right to our web site, thus allowing us an opportunity to showcase our offering
