When clients ask me about social marketing, I say "you need to be where your customers are". And as I started Honey Bee, I created a page to help serve what I thought would be my customer base; small businesses. Over the last year, Honey Bee's evolved to helping organizations of all sizes but they all share something in common. They learn about us from networking, referrals and word of mouth; not from Facebook. So, I've decided to take my own medicine and close this page. Why am I sharing this you ask?

Because as entrepreneurs and marketers we rarely share our lessons learned. We should be trying new things and re-calibrating and that's exactly what I'm doing here. Honey Bee has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I've brought on a team to help service clients and we're having a blast. So, we're taking this energy and rolling into marketing efforts outside of Facebook. I'll still be sharing any great milestones on my personal page but for now, this page will be closed.

And for those wondering if Facebook marketing is dead, I'd tell you it depends on what you're selling. To my small business friends providing cottage industries, rental homes, experiences and more - stay at it. I use Facebook for marketing our vacation rental home and it has been an enormous success. I'm proud to say that integrating Facebook into our marketing plan has resulted in a 100% sell-out in our first summer. So, it can work when done well.

So from all of us at Honey Bee Marketing Solutions, thanks for following and keep up with us on our website www.honeybeemarketingsolutions.com or on LinkedIn. Cheers!

Honey Bee Marketing Solutions focuses on creating marketing strategies that help companies grow into the best versions of themselves.

Honey Bee's been a little quiet over the last few weeks because it took on a new kind of client. We teamed with Jim Pippine to purchase and completely renovate a beach front home we have loved for a long time on an island special to us, Jekyll Island, GA. It was a labor of love but with a view like this, who could say no? We proudly introduce Americana Beach. It is currently operated by Jekyll Realty as a rental home for other families to enjoy year round. (Americana's website to be launched later this week.). Did we mention we're kicking off 2016 with a bang?

Heard an interesting prediction at INBOUND 2015 this year - According to Chris Brogan, CEO of Owner Media Group, in the future, (and I'm paraphrasing here) marketers will be gone, marketing/sales professionals are here to stay. Maybe Sales got tired of waiting for marketing to perfect messaging and Marketers know the value prop and make great sales reps - very interesting.

Great save right in our own backyard- a 38 year old is going home to his family because a working AED (defibrillator) was there to save his life. Another example that sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any age. Friends, look in your gyms, daycares, schools, offices, stores, apartments- anywhere you or your family spend time- ask them if they have one and if it's working. If you have questions reach out to me or Trish McInerney Nyberg. We can't stop sudden cardiac arrest but we can help save a life. And yes, I love my clients!!!!!!
