A Facebook poster got me thinking…
Posted on July 13, 2010
If you’re one of the many on Facebook in Sioux City you may have gotten a friend request from an English man trying to make it in the US gathering support.
I opened my email this morning and saw a post on my wall. He (even if it was only a few seconds to copy and paste) posted his schedule for both Sioux City, a little bio information on him so we get some background, and where we can find him. Lastly, he was open to getting to know locals, and supporting their businesses as well. I thought, “Hey, that’s cool.”
Immediately I started thinking of reasons not to go. I’m almost six months pregnant…I’m hot, it’s a pain wearing uncomfortable clothing, and it’s ALWAYS my luck for someone to sit in front of me and I can’t see the show…here I am painting negative experience before making a conscious decision!
Another thought hits me…it’s almost ten minutes later and I’m still debating to myself whether to go or not. Why?!
That’s because he did something different. He connected with ME. I could learn something from this guy, Fox Brookdale. He (even if it was a copy and paste taking a few seconds) posted on MY wall. I didn’t have to wait for a new status update, ask questions, or search for information. That’s great. What’s even better, and great for him? Although I’m still debating whether to go to the show, he has my attention now. Fox stood out from the numerous bands I see by posting on my wall…
This may not seem like much but when compared to a lot of businesses, including mine, we wait for the customer to come to us. It’s great to see someone taking the initiative to grab the audiences attention providing all the information I need to know, and reaching a different market with coffee houses/ other target customers than playing for the bar..hmmm…I’ll leave it be tonight.
Fox- I’m listening.
