I've never met Special Events Magazine Lisa Hurley in person but she has just become one of my favorite people!! How nice!

Lisa sent me the following via email and said that I can share the note:

Dear Sandy:
Thank you so much for keeping me in the loop on your big DMC client. You shared such pertinent information that I kept your release for months, using it when I worked on the next issue dealing with this topic.
Your hard work on behalf of your client shows the powerRead More...

River Response 2

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:21:22 +0100

One of the best things about having my own business is having the luxury to choose where I spend my time.

Since April 2009, I've had a lot of fun partnering with the Jacksonville Public Library in providing several art exhibitions with themes that highlight our beautiful St. Johns River. The Library is a downtown gem and Alisha has been fabulous!

Our next exhibition is the River Response 2 art exhibition at the JPL Main Branch on 303 N. Laura Street, JacksonviRead More...

Twitter Rules

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:15:53 +0100

Today, I learned that another "Social Media Expert" held a workshop recently in Jacksonville, Florida where this expert advised her paying attendees to Twitter/Tweet at least three times a day if they want to be successful.

One young paying attendee of this "Social Media Expert's" workshop now sincerely believes that a company 's Twitter/micro-blog strategy MUST include three posts per day for that particular communications channel to be successful for that particular company. SimplistiRead More...

Dub Me Now Digital Business Card

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:11:56 +0100

OK, everyone knows I don't do paper business cards, right?

I've tried a few digi-card options but haven't been especially happy with the results.

Well, I stumbled on a new digital business card "Dub Me Now" in my ongoing quest for cool online gadgets. I love it!

Check it out - it's the best digital business card (on my horizon, anyway) & the locate button is way too easy. When two people have downloaded the (free) DUB software on their PDAs, they can pRead More...

I'm just back from IABC's 2009 Social Media Conference and am playing catch up.

Go to my Twitter.com page @sandyawilson for a collection of Social Media resources that I found online today. More later.

Speaking of: I literally stumbled on a Social Media Conference going on right NOW in California. Attendees are doing a great job illustrating the conference topic through ongoing tweets and streaming video - or they *had* streaming video going @Read More...

Hospitals and Fall Festivals

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:20:13 +0100

I'm slowly recovering from a nasty bout of diverticulitis and am preparing for Tree Hill Nature Center's Music and Harvest Moon Festivals on Saturday, October 24.

There is a HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS divide between the two - hospital and fun event.

That said, for a mere $5 admission fee, you should come to Tree Hill to hear incredible live music all day long in beautiful, luscious nature. October 24 from 10 am - 6 pm @ Tree Hill Nature Center.

Social Media, Target Audiences and Wall Splats

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:14:05 +0100

For me, Twitter is a communications platform offering endless opportunities to send a message to a target audience AND throw this message up against the wall to see what sticks.

A quick way to measure Twit-cess: Your target audience will respond to a successful Tweet via Direct Message (or text or email or even a phone call) or by Re-Tweeting your message. Your Wall Splat audience will respond by becoming a Follower after your Tweet. Simple, right?

So, why not Read More...

Age vs. Professionalism vs. Communications vs. Age

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 16:17:17 +0100

I’m writing an article about generational communications as it applies to the evolution of business communication and would love to hear your thoughts.

I'm not interested in a positive vs. negative dichotomy. I'm specifically interested in the communications, public relations and marketing arenas. I'm looking for observations from fellow communications professionals as to how you believe age affects or does not affect the way you communicate with your collRead More...

The world is flat... and virtual

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:23:19 +0100

So, I'm sitting in Environmental Services, Inc's Jupiter, FL office as I work on the upcoming Jacksonville Beach December 5 Right Whale Festival, Tree Hill Nature Center's October 24 Songwriter's Festival and a family/friends trip to the Outer Banks.

I'm brushing up on new SEO info and learning more about Photoshop.

Life is good!
