We’re In Good Social Media Company

Ah, yay! We’re flattered to be included in Paducah Sun Business Editor Joe Walker’s first in a series that investigates how area companies use social networking to expand their branding.

He, of course, interviewed social networking leaders at Paducah Bank. William Sledd (left, with the bank’s lovely Susan Guess) gave this great quote: “Especially for local businesses, it’s becoming a crucial part of their advertising. People are jumping on board like the industrial revolution, but I don’t think it replaces anything. It helps complete the overall package of getting maximum exposure.” (Well done, William!)

Joe also interviewed Curt Jones from Dippin’ Dots, Jack Fares of Four Rivers Harley-Davidson and…me! I talked about Nikki’s and my use of social media to complement what we do here on iList Paducah.

“You can totally overdo a sales pitch,” I noted. “But if you show a lot of generosity, social networking will come back to you.”

Hopefully, we come close to striking the right balance. We’re always interested in our readers’ .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on how we can do it all better!
