How to Attract Foodies With Restaurant Social Media Campaigns On Instagram

Is your restaurant social media campaign bringing in customers? Or could it use a little hot sauce?

It’s Saturday morning. You have a full night of reservations, including a private party.

3 Sports Marketing Trends That Are Changing the Game

From the stylized posters of the last century to modern “smart” arenas, sports marketing trends are always on the leading edge of the game.

Some sports marketing trends are timeless. In the 1870s, tobacco companies used baseball cards to promote brand loyalty and boost sales. Today, those cards are an industry of their own and plenty of big brands partner with star athletes to promote their products.

Instead of tobacco, you have Nike sponsoring basketball star Michael Jordan or the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team’s Alex Morgan. Olympian Mary Lou Retton appeared on the front of the Wheaties cereal box. Nascar driver Danica Patrick starred in commercials for internet hosting company GoDaddy.

12 Church Branding Ideas That Promote Participation

7 Powerful Employee Motivation Techniques That Embrace Social Media

If your employee motivation techniques haven’t changed in the past decade, your business is probably underperforming.

In one of the final scenes of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, a small army of men march on the menacing Black Gate of Mordor. The imposing gate opens, slowly revealing an army of thousands upon thousands of orcs and trolls. As fear spreads, Aragorn, leader of the men, knows he has to motivate his army.

“A day may come when the courage of Men fails… but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!”

As employee motivation techniques go, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself facing a horde of orcs and attempting to lead your employees into a battle for the future of humanity. Even so, if you’re hanging onto motivational techniques like trust falls and outdated quotes to engage your employees, you’ll be lucky to get them to come to work on time, much less follow you into battle.

How to Create an Instagram Wall for Events

Creating an Instagram wall for events can turn attendees into your best photographers, marketers, and ambassadors.

When attending any event, whether it’s a wedding, a 5k, a fundraiser, or a conference, there’s one thing attendees look forward to most after curtains have closed — the photos! Thanks to hashtags, attendees can self-sort pictures from events on their phones, but some of the savviest event planners are now creating an Instagram wall for events.

The basis of creating an Instagram wall for events is pretty straightforward in its execution; planners will hang a large projection screen or TV on a wall with a sign for the designated hashtag, and on the screen, you’ll see a collage of Instagram posts showing up in real time. It usually causes a bit of excitement, because people are natural voyeurs and will rush to get photos of their favorite cocktails, friends, and fun up on the wall at the event. Photo booths were so last year, am I right?

How to display a moderated live Twitter feed

There are multiple reasons and multiple places that you may want to show a live Twitter feed. Maybe you’ve got a website, and you want it a bit fresher without having to log in every day and update it. Or maybe you have an event coming up and you want to show the live Twitter feed on the screens there in the venue? Maybe you’re a hip company with a fancy office and you want to show it on screens in your lobby… Whatever the reason and purpose, almost immediately you’ll realize that it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Twitter has an option you can use, but if you want to pull in content automatically using keywords or a hashtag it wont work, and none of the embeds they offer have any kind of moderation. And that’s where Everwall comes in.

6 Tips For Providing Branded Event Swag

Swag can be useful, and actually worth it to handout—here’s how…

It’s an experience which is familiar to all of us in the event’s industry—while attending a trade show or conference, we’re handed a knickknack by a smiling brand ambassador, emblazoned with the logo of the brand responsible for putting on the event or the booth you’re standing in front of. There’s just one problem… the event swag doodad they gave us is totally underwhelming, and more often than not, it’s ugly or cheaply made, and completely useless to us.
