other? On-line?• How is information shared across communities?• What media outlets / social media tools matter and

are trusted?• Where are the informal networks for sharing

information?

If there is no home, build one

Where do I start? Social Media Tools

Know the Tools that Matter • Ask the audience – qualitative research• Use surveys – quantitative research• Check existing analytics / sales data from

on-line providers (trust me, they know)• Reverse engineer – what else is working?• Test, test, test – learning is cheap
