Josh Martin is the manager of social media for Arby’s.  He’s big on “short, bite-sized bits of content.”

Josh says we are in the Thank You economy and I agree. Go mobile with your social media Thank You’s.

He gave a strategy-rich presentation on mobile and social media at Atlanta’s annual SoCon conference this month, and centered on:

Josh also says mobile video has a 6x higher click-through rate than standard display ads.

What does this mean for your messaging?   

It means you have 3 seconds to catch a customer’s eye with the right 6 to 8 words.  Or in the case of Twitter Vine, 6 seconds to catch a customer’s attention with the right 6 to 8 words. Twitter Vine is a mobile service that lets you capture and share 6-second, looping videos and post them immediately.

What 6 to 8 words would you say to customers, over and over in six seconds via Twitter Vine?

For Softscribe, Buyer Personas are a discipline we use to grab hold of the voice of the customer.  We hand-build Buyer Personas into persuasive messaging that captures the buyer’s attention. Here’s an example.
