CEO, Softscribe Inc. ATLANTA, February 28, 2013 - Josh Martin is the manager of social media for Arby’s. He’s big on “short, bite-sized bits of content.” He gave a strategy-rich presentation on mobile and social media at Atlanta’s annual SoCon conference this month, and centered on Website, Messaging, Apps, Ads, and Promotions. Did you know 54% of the world’s brands use Instagram (follow me @Juliesoftscribeinc), which uploads 5 million photos every day? Data shows that photos attract twice the number of Likes on Facebook over text-based status updates.  Josh also says mobile video has a 6x higher click-through rate than standard display ads. What does this mean for your messaging? It means you have 3 seconds to catch a customer’s eye with the right 6 to 8 words. Or in the case of Twitter Vine, 6 seconds to catch a prospect’s attention with the right 6 to 8 words. Twitter Vine is a mobile service that lets you capture and share 6-second, looping videos and post them immediately. Is Twitter Vine valuable or irritating? We do not yet know.  What
6 to 8 words would you say to customers,
over and over in six seconds via Twitter Vine? How do you know which 6 to 8 words your prospects and customers want to hear? Buyer Persona research delivers the most effective and concise message to break through the noise level. For Softscribe, Buyer Personas are a discipline we use to grab hold of the voice of the customer. We hand-build Buyer Personas into persuasive messaging that captures the buyer’s attention.
