Why your Madison business should join Madison SMC

There are many reasons why Dane County based businesses need to be part of Madison’s Social Media Club. Joining is easy to do and you support Madison WI based businesses. You also belong to a group that brings up topics you need to know about in this social world.

Community is King – Associate Yourself

If you stand out by yourself, no one will see you. If you participate in the community, people associate a face with a company. It becomes a different game when they know who you are.

I hate the word “Join”

I joined a club when I was 10, but did nothing for it. They said you would get new friends if you joined, but I did not. Of course, I also didn’t participate in most of the activities.

Joining is easy. Being a part of the group can take a little more. Participating in MadisonSMC sounds like a better option.

What Benefits if I “Participate”?

The biggest benefit is knowledge from other Social Media professionals in Madison. To prove it, let me give you an important tip in Social Media that you may be overlooking.

Social Media Tip: When networking via Facebook, Twitter; Your friends can give you the numbers. Only problem is: you know those people and some might never be customers. Try to get someone to “Like” your page that you do not know. That can be your newest, best-est customer. Plan for 2-3 new people a day, and your business might just pick up within a year.

What Do I Have to Do as a Business?

Simple: attend the events, interact, learn. You could even send another employee to attend the events, but make sure they report what happened to you. By being on top of this, you might learn something new and pick up a few new customers.

It’s all in how you participate. Madison SMC is a chapter of Social Media Club, which connects with people world-wide. We have members move to other cities and people from other clubs move here. You are not only building a network within Madison – you are stretching it out to other cities.

Come to a MadisonSMC event and see what we’re talking about. Join us on Twitter: MadisonSMC. Join us on Facebook, too!
