Re: [AFMUG] OT LinkedIn

It all depends on what your campaign get get to show in the email
subject line of the linkdin email notification. I think thats the extent of
the linkedin interaction most who would use your blades do. At some point,
to try to be visible, a linkedin account was set up, its never really used
with the exception of periodically cleaning clutter from email and seeing a
linkedin notification the peaks curiosity. Usually that results in clicking
the link, seeing to content, seeing there are a bunch of unread PMs,
realizing those are all just spam PMs and linkedin trying to get you to pay
and then not coming back again until the next time an interesting email
subject line hits during inbox cleanup

Yep, we have a Universal Robot U10 welder to keep up with orders.
Hopefully by this time next year I will manufacture or supply 100% of 
everything a contractor needs to do microtrenching except for the fiber 
blowing and splicing.

In drag racing, NASCAR, etc. the cars are covered with stickers from parts
manufacturers.  I don't suppose you could get your customers to put your
name on their vehicles.

Perhaps more seriously, I'm not sure people in our business spend much time
on Linkedin or even Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, etc.  But a common
denominator seems to be Youtube instructional videos.  I think you should
bring back your Youtube channel.  Videos of actual customers using your
products on the job would be excellent.

I will be the first to proclaim that I am not your marketing guru.
However, I play a stellar hindsight game. Back in the day, I worked for a
company with a head of marketing that was really good at predicting the
exact opposite way to go. I commented once in a group of co-workers that
they should plant an arrow out of his back, and go that way.

FWIW, I have never acted on any of the 10-bazillion offers I've gotten from
LinkedIn.

So maybe it's a good idea?
