Elon Musk jokes about a lot of things, but the Tesla and SpaceX founder certainly seems serious about shaking up Twitter. Following weeks of dramatic developments that included the rare adoption of a “poison pill” defense by shareholders, and of course, plenty of tweeting, the executive on Monday reached an agreement to buy the social media app for roughly $44 billion.

A1 is the steak sauce that our parents ALWAYS had in the cabinet. It was absolutely generational as I remember my parents and grandparents using it but very rarely see someone my own age use it. I’m guessing that their sales saw the same decrease in users as they’ve went through a rebranding process to drop the “steak” from the staple steak sauce.
To do this their internal marketing team hatched a plan entirely surrounded by Facebook’s popular relationship status. Simply put, A1 was going to move from “in a relationship” with steak to “it’s complicated”
So the question, as always in advertising… Did it work?
So, I’d say yes!

Acknowledging that “LIKE” isn’t exactly the right sentiment for every occasion. The new Emoji’s rolled out to Facebook’s nearly 1.6 billion users around the globe Wednesday February 24th.

For those of you that were at the philadelphia bar and nightlife convention you already heard me talk a little bit about managing your reputation online. Having a good reputation is essential for the growth and prevalence of your business. Anything from bad customer service to negative reviews can lead to an undesirable reputation; this explains the number of companies that access reviews management for agencies. Having a stable and respected reputation will ensure sales and drive your business to outgrow competitors. I mentioned working with Yelp to improve your star rating instead of ignoring it. You may also want to try to conduct an SEO audit on your site if you’re concerned that your search rankings aren’t as strong as you’d like as this is another thing that is affecting your company’s reputation and its discovery. Here’s my list of the 5 things you can start doing today that will immediately help to build your online reputation through Yelp.com.
Claim your Yelp Business page. This can be a bit of a process if your email address isn’t @[businessname].com but it’s simple enough to request a pin number in the mail. Yelp has a separate login for business owners, biz.yelp.com 
Once you have your Yelp business page claimed you need to make sure that all of the information about your business is 100% up to date. Yelp will guide you through this process making it simple for you complete all of the necessary content. Click the tab on the left that says “Business Information” to get started. 
Respond to your reviews. On the left side of the dashboard you will see a “reviews” tab. Click that and then click “respond privately” to every review that anyone has given you thus far. It’s Yelp, so you’re bound to have a few unfavorable reviews, but please don’t think this is an opportunity to set them straight. Simply ask the person to give you another try and promise that they’ll have a better experience the next time they come in. You’re limited to 5 responses per day.
Yelp Review
Add awesome photos. It’s your establishment, why would you want customer photos to dictate the first impression that consumers receive when visiting your Yelp page. Get some amazing food photos taken in natural light and post them where it says “photos”. And make sure you write something in the caption. This will ensure that you’re given the best possible chance to lure new customers into your establishment.
Yelp Photos
Last but certainly not least, add a check in offer. This is the one free tool that yelp has that will drive new customers directly through your door. I love giving away a free drink with a purchase.
Yelp Checkin Offer
Reputation management is one service that I truly love offering at Small Talk Media. There’s something truly rewarding about taking a client’s Yelp page from 3 stars to 5 knowing the impact that has on his or her business. If you have a business with a great product or service but that isn’t reflected online please reach out to us right away. Yelp is just the beginning of a great online reputation.

We work with the folks at Cavanaugh’s on a daily basis. We build events, manage their social media, design flyers and do just about anything else you can think of. After months of begging the owners, they finally gave in and let us put together a new website. We wanted to make sure the site was mobile friendly, straight to the point booking parties and had social media deeply integrated. While we’re still making a few tweaks here and there what we came up with encompasses everything above with some cool added widgets. Check out the instagram plugin, streaming pictures from customers that tag #cavsriverdeck.
