Reputation Management 2013 by Brenda Segna
One of the biggest things that we can do for any brand in 2013 is to stay on top of the reputation management. In our world of Social Media and so many sites where you can add content about anyone there has never been a greater need for reputation management.
A case in point is Manti Te'O's Twitter hoax! He convinced the world that he had a girlfriend, unfortunately this bad press about Manti Te'O is true and he will have a lot to overcome and it won't be easy. Once it's on the net, it's on there for good.
But unlike Manti Te'O there is bad press on Facebook for brands that is not true and uncalled for, some from misguided souls, enemies and bullies. Some bullies never grow up.
Bullies are mean and don't think twice of ruining the reputation of a brand online. They don't think and don't care about consequences, they let their anger and hatred fuel them and drive them.
But what does this mean for the Brand? It means you need to stay on top of all information put on the web about you. You need to share so much positive information, truth about your brand on the web. When you respond to the negativity, never attack, always respond positively. Don't get in a pissing match on the web with your bully or hater. It will only hurt you in the end.
To find out what is being said about your brand on the web, signup for Google Alerts! This will enable you to stay on top of things.
If someone comments or posts negativity about your brand, remember to only come back with positive comments.
"Brenda has helped me understand Brand Reputation Management and has done a great job for my company," said John Baugues of John Baugues Coal.

Brenda Segna Gets Down To The Basics
I love my job and every day brings new fun and new challenges. I have never been one to shy away from challenges, but I don't like being mean to people. And being mean is how some people choose to be online.
Being mean, bullying, it doesn't end in high school. Some people just don't know when to stop! They don't get the facts straight and even when they are supplied they facts, they are so engrained in their negativity, their anger, their hurtfulness that they just don't know when to stop and they won't. They don't care if they hurt people, they don't care about anyone or anything but themselves.
And because they don't care, I have clients who come to me for reputation management! Unfortunately reputation management or cleaning up all of the garbage online takes a long time. Especially if the bully keeps on attacking and won't back down.
I have my bully that I deal with and just the time I think it's under control, she comes back at me attacking again. So for me it's an ongoing thing! Reputation Management isn't always easy.
I have a client who has a bully in his life too. His bully pays thousands of dollars each month to keep attacking my client online. The lie that he is spreading is intended to destroy my client. Business can be so competitive that people will do anything to destroy a competitor.
You don't have to be in politics to have a smear campaign done against you. My biggest piece of advice, if there is negative info about you or your company online, don't wait, get on top of it as soon as possible and keep on top of it!
It's time we all take a stand against bullying online!

Social Media Marketing and Ethics
What has happened to us since we've gone online or the internet has taken over our lives? I have never witnessed so much dishonesty or so many people try to swindle others!
For us here at Blast creative, we spend a good amount of time each week, correcting or cleaning up after businesses who have taken advantage of the innocent! It gets old after awhile and I have to admit, I wonder when people will still pooling their resources and go after these companies that are swindling them out of their hard earned cash!
Social Media Marketing, search engine optimization, online marketing, none of it comes cheap, it costs money, but you should get what you pay for and you shouldn't have to worry about getting ripped off. We need to start at least reporting these businesses to the Better Business Bureau so that they can compile a list and other business owners don't fall into the same trap!

Social Media Marketing Tips by Blast Creative and Brenda Segna
Here is another great social media networking tip brought to you by Blast creative and Brenda Segna.
The most frequent question that I get asked is what time of the day should I make my posts on Facebook and Twitter and how often should I post?
The answer is going to vary depending on your target audience. Who is your target audience? What age range? What demographic?
If you are targeting high school teenagers, you don’t want to post before school gets out—for most that’s between 3 to 4. If you’re targeting college students—you have more flexibility if jobs don’t interfere.
For stay at home mom’s, early morning, mid-morning, early afternoon and evening. They have more flexibility with their time and typically spend a little more time on Facebook and Twitter.
Business Owner and Marketing Professionals-they are doing social media networking all day long and into the evening. Your posts for this genre have the best chance of reaching their targeted market anytime.
The general population-people working 9 to 5-you need to post early morning, before 7 a.m. or late evening after 8 p.m. They may check their pages on Facebook and Twitter periodically throughout the day on their cell phones, but the apps on cell phones are limited. So if you want to be sure that you reach your targeted audience, post before 7 in the morning or after 8 in the evening.
How often should you post? The first thing to remember that is people can get sick of all your posts rather quickly and can “unfriend” or “unlike” you with one little click of the mouse! I recommend a minimum of 5 posts per week. 1 per day, Monday thru Friday! Don’t make all of your posts about business either. Nobody wants to get hit up with a sales pitch every time they log-in into Facebook or Twitter.
Use positive quotes, funny videos from YouTube, share something about your business that is personal. A charity event, a night out with staff and post pictures! You can tag your friends in the pictures and all of their friends will see it!
Have different staff members make post—they should always identify themselves so that everyone knows who they are talking to!
You have the potential to reach the largest audience in history if you utilize your Facebook and Twitter pages correctly! Be smart, have fun and watch your ROI go through the roof!
