The Durham Region Love Campaign

durahmregionlovecompaigncaThe Durham Region Love Campaign is to focus on the positive, beauty and love found within the Durham Region. The Durham Region Love Campaign will be building a network that will spread the positive, beauty and love. Pictures of local areas, all seasons will be continuously created, along with picture layouts of special events. From time to time stories of positive and motivational things from local communities will be promoted through the network. Non profit and charities can use the network to promote themselves and fundraisers. An overall positive view of Durham Region and the communities within will be focused on, without negative influences. Only the beauty, positive and loving will be passed on!

To support and promote this, Community Digital Networks will be created to allow local businesses to assist in promoting the positive, beauty and love from Durham Region.

Through advertising on the digital network, businesses support the Durham Region Love Campaign. For the minimal cost of $25/month an advertising space will be created and placed throughout the Whitby Digital Network. An initial photo session and basic graphics work is included with the digital network & the digital network breaks down into 3 areas that the ads will be visible.

Digital Picture Frames:
The ad will be placed on the network of frames located at various locations throughout Whitby. The locations may vary from time to time but a minimum of 10 locations will be maintained at all times. The locations will be found on the website for the Durham Region Love Campaign that also contains links to each business advertising along with placement locations of frames. The frames will display a combination of images from the location placement, Whitby and Durham Region. The images will be updated 4 or more times throughout the year.

Social Networking:
Not only will the ads be placed within content created for the Durham Region Love Campaign. The campaign utilizes social networking sites that we will work with you to create an action plan to build, maintain and co-operatively work with the other businesses to promote your business. The main networking sites being utilized by the Durham Region Love Campaign are: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, others will be added in the future.

Printed Media:
There will be posters, flyers and other media created to promote activities by Durham Region Love Campaign. Small ads will be placed for those businesses advertising on the Whitby Digital Network.

Social Media 101 + Facebook for Business (January 21, 2010) Whitby, ON

Business and our lives are more and more driven by the computer. The whole phenomena of social networking has made a substantial mark on business and society. New opportunities with the likes of Linked-in and Facebook are exciting but need to be properly managed to maximize business advantage and protect your privacy. Millions and millions of people are using these media but few use them to their business and personal advantage. Also these areas are changing daily and it is important to be current. We will be delivering a number of small group sessions with a hands-on approach to Social Media. The small group format will allow those with wireless connected notebook computers to actually sign on and establish or modify their profile in real time. Others will be able to establish or modify their profile online through the facilitator’s computer. All participants should gain from the workshop their own profile and knowledge on how to add to it, ensure they are as safe as possible and maximize the business opportunity offered. These sessions should offer participants everything you wanted to know about Facebook but were afraid to ask.

If you attended my training today and would like to provide feedback and/or request notes, please click on comments below.

HOW TO: Use Facebook for Professional Networking

Fast Track Your Social Media Presence

Claim.io (formerly ClaimMyName) now injects your brand into 300 of the most popular social media and social networking sites, creating an account on each site, securing your name and/or vanity URL, and embedding your messaging, logo and links into each account.

 

Why Claim Your Name? 

  • Brand ProtectionClaiming your name and other high value keywords on the most popular social networks prevents your brand from being hijacked and helps ensure that you own and control your presence online. Don’t wait until someone else claims your name and its too late.
  • Brand ExposureClaim.io goes beyond protecting your brand. We establish a rich presence on each social network that includes your brand’s messaging, logo and a link back to your primary website. You fill out one form and we take care of the rest.
  • Search Engine Visibility - Increasing the number of inbound links (other sites that point to your website) is one of the most effective ways to increase your visibility on major search engines. When you claim you name across 300 social networks, each account that we create for you becomes a site that points back to your website.

Google Wave arrives on September 30th. On that day, Google will start sending out 100,000 invites to non-developers to its much-anticipated real-time communication platform.
