The Oakwood Inn Bed & Breakfast of Raleigh, North Carolina is got a new, well designed, and informative Facebook page. Check it out and also check out the website www.oakwoodinnbb.com.
We were approached by Main Street Host about redesigning our website to link to a Facebook and Twitter accounts. They are also going to assist us with our SEO for the website. Just today I read an article in the business section of The News & Observer stated that "Email No Longer the Hipster... Social networks top traditional." It says that Americans spend one third of their time on social networks! It says that time spent on traditional e-mail and portals like Yahoo have declined.
If we all keep spending so much time developing relationships and connections through all of these social and business networks, we may be able to connect to anyone in the world at anytime and without the use of a phone.... except for texting.
It's supposed to be a great marketing tool for people and businesses. We've always tracked how our guests have found us, so it will be interesting to seeing how powerful the social networks will be in funneling business to us.
I've been on LinkedIn with the Inn attached to my name since December 2009, and it has not brought any business or potential business to us. It will be interesting to see what the social network does as proclaimed by all the new marketing gurus. Personally, I think they maybe correct, but time will tell if the numbers show it.
