August 26th, 2012

The new Autumn staple color combo is black and white. Well it is more like black, white, and/or ivory. You know what your grandmother would say about that white after labor day rule.

Sorry grandma, we are smashing the rules. continue…

World Humanitarian Day 2012 –Give

August 18th, 2012


I watched the video of Beyonce speaking about her involvement this year in an amazing movement. I thought about it and sadly just as quickly forgot. So this personal thank you goes to Kimberly Marie. She posted in our facebook group about giving her service away and I thought I could do my part and help someone too. If you haven’t heard about World Humanitarian Day, is celebrated every year on August 19th. It was started to celebrate the life of 22 UN humanitarian workers who were killed in Bagdad, Iraq 9 years ago.

I decided to do my part and assist someone with my knowledge and service. I am giving a free 1 hour social media coaching session. You can ask any questions you might have about social media, social media strategy, blogging, branding, or we can just laugh for an hour! I want to help someone grow. I want to help someone build their business by sharing my knowledge.

Rules
• You must visit and “like” Dbabetta page on Facebook.
• Place on the wall in 140 characters or less why you need help with your social media strategy
• You must be an active social media user. Please provide a link to the platform you believe could use the most help.
(Bonus Points if you tweet this)
I want to win a 1 hour social media coaching session with @TerezBaskin http://dbabetta.com/?p=1588 #WHD

Fashion Group International’s Buzz on Beauty and Social Media

August 18th, 2012


FGI Chicago Beauty Buzzes on Social Media

Storified by Terez · Sat, Aug 18 2012 09:50:05

Fashion Group International’s Beauty Buzz discusses the impact of social media on Chicago beauty business. Attendees sipped on great wines and nibbles while panelist discussed the role of SM in their business practices. All declared that the use of social media has been positive for them. There is the occasional wayward tweet or customer service issue, but all in all, the tone was that social drives business. People want to build community with the brands they use. Customers want to feel that they are apart of a movement, or something special. Social Media is the way to keep connected before, during, and after a business interaction with customers. Potential customers can see how responsive and informative you are with your own current clients and can decide to buy just from a social media interaction. I live tweeted some tidbits that you can find below.
