social what

Social media... What's that?

Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible & scalable publishing techniques... Ok, What? Let me explain it in, "Alexandra words"... Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube & Websites. The linking & connecting to all of these creative media outlets to get your product or company discovered. Fewwwww, that was hard. I've been blogging, facebooking & twitting now for over a year & half & have started to get noticed by people. {thank you} It takes time to get noticed... But, I've been determined & driven to do so because I love our business so much! Plus, the rustic rooster has blossomed even more from our blog. Facebook has been fun & helped us connect with tons of different clients & customers... & twitting has opened my mind up to new things {I'm trying to get on board with that one}.

I got a phone call that I was recommended to be on a panel to discuss Social Media at the Kravet Showroom in San Diego. I jumped {a bit nervous} at the chance!

The morning started off with delicious treats & warm coffee to get the buzz going in the room!

Chairs were perfectly organized... Kind of felt like I was graduating college or getting married again.

Designers started arriving... My heart started racing. Of course I started sweating {what elses is new}... Then I thought to myself OH MY GOSH I didn't bring any extra deodorant or perfume... Great! Yoga Breaths! I'll be just fine. I love all this stuff! I have a BLAST with our BLOG & FACEBOOK. I can do this!

I raced to get some water... & then I actually relaxed. The presentation had begun & I couldn't run now!

BAMN... It was over just like that! I got nervous for that... So easy I was a pro. OK I'm officially a dork now! lol

Rebecca Robeson {Robeson Design}, Jennifer Powell {Social Media Coordinator - Kravet} & me
