Believe me, I couldn't have been more excited/surprised to see Anna Kendrick at this year's Inbound Conference. There is a possibility we might be long lost BFFs, along with my pal Amy Schumer, but that's not why she came to INBOUND16. So why did she?

I talk with Rick Roberge often. A couple of weeks ago, he told me that he was going to update his most read article in the past two years. Then he left for Mexico. He got back today and when he read my article, he said, "Great! Now I don't have to write it."

I recently received a flyer in my son's backpack for an upcoming annual PTO family skate night event. My first thought was, "NO! You won't get anyone to register with that approach!" I found out from the parent who distributed the flyers of the outcome and response. Can you guess how many people actually did register after the flyers went out? Four...out of 200 families! A day or so later, another parent took to Facebook and posted the event on the school's page, using the same flyer's graphics and information. After an hour of posting the event, they were able to securely commit 10 families and even two volunteers...and they continued to pour in that first day.
So how can this example relate to you and your small business' marketing strategy?

I recently was contracted to work a trade show for a former employer in Las Vegas. The expo ran Wednesday and Thursday, so I flew into Las Vegas from Boston on Tuesday, and was due to take a red-eye back to Logan on Thursday night and arrive Friday around noon. Traveling for business has some perks, like staying in the Bellagio, and having dinner at Nobu, Old Homestead, and Prime... but it is exhausting. Long 12-14 hour days on your feet, being switched-on for that whole time, time difference, travel, etc. It takes a lot out of you.

The act of being social is to communicate with others, so what is it that you have to share. And is it worthy of being retweeted or shared by others? Here are three key elements you should prepare before you jump into social media marketing for your company:
