Beyond Blogs and Social Networks: How Consumer Generated Media and the Virtual Handshake will Make or Break Your Business NEW YORK, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- More and more business professionals have become aware of the latest online networking tools. Those who still rely on phone calls, letters, and face-to-face meetings for developing new contacts and building relationships run the risk of being left far behind. Considering that 84% of U.S. Internet users have used the Internet to contact or get information from an online group -- more than have used the Internet to read news, search for health information, or even to buy something -- it is clear that "social software" has already begun to positively affect the corporate bottom line. Instead of conducting focus groups or other potentially time-consuming research, blogs allow executives to monitor consumer feedback and reactions to almost anything -- in almost real time. Blogs, which are essentially online journals, now dominate companies' PR strategies, which may also include RSS feeds and podcasting. They are part of a 'social software' toolkit that includes blogs, relationship management software, file-sharing, advanced contact managers, virtual communities, web conferencing and instant messaging. At the Strategic Research Institute's Beyond Blogs & Social Networks conference, December 1-2 in Jersey City, NJ, industry leaders and nationally recognized bloggers will show you how your company can establish a more powerful online presence by: -- Increasing market share by reaching customers where they live ... online -- Creating cost savings by distributing information faster and more efficiently ... online -- Insuring your corporate privacy and safety: how to be public but not too public ... online -- Increasing revenues by equipping your sales team with tools to open more doors and close more deals ... online CONFERENCE CHAIRPERSON: David Teten, CEO, NitronAdvisors Co-Author, The Virtual Handshake: Opening Doors and Closing Deals Online FEATURED SPEAKERS INCLUDE: -- Steve Rubel, Vice President, Client Services, Cooperkatz -- Jonathan Carson, President & CEO, Buzzmetrics; Co-Founder, Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) -- Pete Blackshaw, Chief Marketing and Customer Satisfaction Officer, Intelliseek -- Alex Williams, Managing Director of Events, Corante -- Erin Byrne, Managing Director, Marsteller TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION: Phone: 800-599-4950 / 212-967-0095 E-mail: mailto:info@srinstitute.com Web: http://www.srinstitute.com/CF401
