How to Connect to Your Customers with PRDA and Facebook


PRDA can help you in small but extremely effective ways. Facebook is a powerful tool that can help you connect with your customers, but you have to work hard to earn those fans. There are a few ways you can create a rapport with your customers that helps them stick around. First, and easiest, is responding to your customers on Facebook. Second is utilizing messages for Facebook pages, and third is phrasing open questions in your status updates.

It seems like common sense, but responding to your customers can be the most effective way to connect with them. Your Facebook page is there for your patrons to gather information about your company, find out about events, and take part in your offers. It is easy for your Facebook page to become one-sided, and PRDA can help you work to entice customer interaction. When customers comment on a status update, respond! Knowing you hear them will help them build trust in your brand.


Facebook recently added the ability for businesses to message their customers privately and vice versa. In the top right of your admin panel, you can see your inbox. With the use of private messaging, you can now contact your customers directly, and privately. Why is this important? You can now follow up on contest offers, send thank-yous, and negotiate problems with customers. Fans can now send complaints privately, instead of posting on the main timeline. This makes damage control much easier for you. You can even message other business pages for collaboration!


Phrasing status updates is tricky; it is easy for them to sound like sales pitches. Once your brand is established, you want customers to come back over and over again. Return business is the foundation for any successful brand, and PRDA can help you accomplish that with good social media writing. When writing status updates, make some open ended questions. Take the example above, Dove asks their customers “...what to make for dinner?” By asking a question, their Facebook fans are far more likely to respond. This interaction builds a bridge between the brand and the fan. They feel more connected, and you get a return customer!

Communication is a two-way process. Social media is as powerful as it is because both the customer and the business get to talk to each other. PRDA can help you utilize this and watch your sales soar!

What Defines Generation Y’s Needs



As Baby Boomers begin to retire at an increasing rate, Generation Y is starting to dominate the workplace in Hong Kong. This has started to lead to a noticeable generation gap in the workplace between management and employees. In an effort to bridge that gap, both parties must begin to understand how their needs and expectations differ.

Generation Y is much more technologically advanced than any other generation. Because of this, we tend to rely on text messages more than phone calls and emails and Im more than in-person conversations. We also tend to crave immediate feedback while non-Gen Y bosses prefer to communicate only occasionally. Our generation also tends to value a happy work-social life balance more than previous generations. We tend to be very independent and are more accustomed to busier lifestyles. Our generation also is more family oriented, more group oriented, are more outspoken, and strive for individuality.

With up to four or five generations in one work place, how can we begin to bridge the generational gap? There has already been an increase in multigenerational programs. These programs focus on getting their work done without allowing differences in age and background to affect their productivity. A higher understanding for generations different than your own is also very important. Being more understanding of other generations can allow people from every generation to better adapt to both their coworkers and management.

 
A huge piece of advice to management who may not know how to work with our generation- give more guidance and more support. Job satisfaction, learning opportunities, and different work exposure are all great ways to motivate Generation Y, and it all begins with the way our generations can work together.

Offers for Facebook Timeline Can Help Increase PRDA Client Sales



Social Media Provider PRDA is always up to date on new tools to help clients increase sales and fan growth. Just last week, Facebook added a new tool for business pages called “Offers.” Facebook Offers is located on the main timeline page for your business, right where you post your status. Just click on the plus where it says “Offer, Event +” and add a deal for your customers!

Facebook is making big headway when it comes to supporting business big and small. With Facebook Offers, you can provide your customers discounts and deals without the hassle of clipping coupons, and in a way that they will understand in a technologically advanced world. PRDA will be offering this service to their clients as soon as Facebook makes it available for every single business page; however, for now it is still in beta, which means a limited number of pages have access to it.


So how will PRDA make the most of Facebook Offers? By including strong headers, we’ll attract clients to view your offer. We will supplement our headlines with bold photos that work well as thumbnails because they will be displayed small. Most importantly, each offer will be unique to the business and product. PRDA knows their clients well, and we’ll be sure to design offers specifically for your target audience.

Travel the globe with Moët Hennessy Wines!




The United States, Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand, Spain and Australia are all locations where Moët Hennessy vineyards can be found. Wine lovers from across the globe recognise the distinct quality of wines originating from these diverse regions. Let us give you an insight in to the various wines, their global locations and what it is that helps to make these distinct and captivating flavours.

A popular Moët Hennessy wine is the deep red, full-bodied, fruity blend of Cabernet Merlot produced by Cape Mentelle. They take advantage of the rich terrain surrounding Australia’s Margaret River, which help make both Cape Mentelle and Moët Hennessy renowned worldwide. Another example, equally as deep and sumptuous is the amazing concoction of blueberries and mulberries combined with the spicy freshness of nutmeg, cardamom and black pepper found in the 2012 Shiraz.



As a pioneer in new wine producing concepts and techniques, Moët Hennessy has teamed up with Argentina’s Bodegas Chandon to produce Terrazas de los Andes. The wines from this area achieve their distinct taste thanks to the altitude and high-elevation of their vineyards. Afincado in particular is one of the highest quality wines produced in Argentina, with an intense, full-bodied flavour complemented by its consistent fruity aroma. The wine is carefully produced in restricted amounts and only exceptional years go on to be retailed, making it one of the best luxury wines offered by a Moët Hennessy Wine Estate.
With such an array of flavours and locations, why not travel the world with Moët Hennessy Wines and discover your favorite?
