Social Media Marketing: The Wave of the Future?
I figured out a really nifty thing to do on LinkedIn today… creating an HTML email signature with a link to this blog, to the PsPrint website, and to my LinkedIn profile. I was, sadly, highly amused by this function and emailed a colleague to show it off.
Colleague: Oh that is cool…I am still not 100% comfortable with online communication websites but Linked In seems cool because it’s business connections.
Me: But it’s the waaaave of the futurrrrre. And we’re going to start social media marketing, so get used to it :p
That’s right, project 15927 to add to my daily agenda (okay not really but it feels that way) is a new project that we’ll have implemented by the end of the month. A full frontal attack on social media! I can’t say much yet since we’re still fleshing out the procedures and nitty gritty details, but I’ll be taking the lead on it.
So, in addition to the two and a half hats I already wear at work, I’ll be putting on a third. It’s exciting to get some new responsibilities and working on a new project now that our mailing services is pretty automated and our affiliate program is started to go places. I can’t wait to talk more about it, but mum is the word at the moment.
So I got to thinking about it… is social media and online networking really the wave of the future? What are your thoughts?

With all the exciting things we’re doing here, it’s no wonder I’m buried under a sea of paper on my desk. Lots of very interesting projects rolling across my desk. I can’t wait until they all come to fruition!
First, we’re going to be assisting with a music festival promoting green thinking and environmental awareness. We’re a pretty green company ourselves, using 100% recycled matte paper stocks and soy inks. So we’re stoked to help out the organizers of this event. If you’re a green minded person and want to check out some great tunes for a great cause, jump on the bandwagon over at Think Green-World Music Festival The show is September 8 in Napa, CA. Don’t miss it!
Second, but only chronologically, we’ll be exhibiting at eComXpo October 9th – 11th. eComXpo is a 100% virtual trade show for eCommerce Marketers. We’ll be exhibiting amongst the likes of Google, LinkShare, and more! The show is completely online and free to attend. I just started working on our virtual booth today and I’m really excited about the presentation at the show. I slaved on the booth all day!
Okay, it was really easy. But it’ll be a great event! I encourage anyone out there in the eCommerce world to check out the show.
There’s more in the hopper too for sales & marketing here, but it’s not fleshed out yet. Needless to say, I’m really excited about all the new things we’re doing that will have great potential for the company. It’s really thrilling to still be on the ground floor of this place, so to speak!

“On the Internet content is king and always will be. This is because the Internet is the information superhighway and most people use it for information of some sort.” – David Callan
I completely agree. I’ve been blogging so long in my personal space that it feels odd to me to post for the first time and have to introduce myself, so I’ll keep this short and sweet.
My name is Trisha Fawver, Trish to my friends. I work for a company called PsPrint‘ in their marketing department. I’ve been there for a few years now and moved through the Customer Service department and into the Marketing department. It’s been a fun and informative journey. I’ve started this blog to talk about what I’ve been learning about new media, social networking, web 2.0, printing, marketing, and just stuff.
I’ve been learning a lot, and I’m willing to talk to myself for a few months before other readers join in my discussion. Basically I’m a young woman starting out in a career and learning by doing. And I’m interested in hearing from other young professionals or aspiring professionals or wannabe professionals about what they’re learning by immersing themselves into their industry.
Phew… that was awkward. Okay… onto the content!
