This past July, was the annual California State Fair at Cal Expo! Get Networking Now! members Kristina Carstons (Abacus Accounting Solutions), Mary Hurst (Mary Kay Cosmetics), Robert Pierce (Farmer's Insurance), John Book (Aim High Specialties) and Robin Fisher (Le Spa Day Spa) were among 35 volunteers throughout the Greater Sacramento Area.

Get Networking Now's founder, Rebecca Johnson, led the group of Volunteers as her company, My Social Media Pro,  spear headed the "Social Media Help Desk" (a first of it's kind at any public event!). 

Johnson was selected to head the program by the State Fair, which included coordinating and staffing the booth daily, to answer questions about QR Codes, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Mobile phones.  The fair had implemented QR Codes at county exhibits, in the barn with the animals, the gardens and other places throughout the fair.  For part of the time, Johnson's company donated the use of a Social Media Photo Kiosk where fair goers could take branded pictures and share their experiences online. 

Everyone had a blast working and can't wait to do it again next year! For more information on the California State Fair (#StateFairCa) visit Bigfun.org . 

A new social media marketing company has arrived in Sacramento. Introducing iSnap Social, the creator of the Social Photo Station and accompanying suite of social marketing tools. iSnap Social’s Photo Station allows users to take a photo at a venue or event and upload it to social networks like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter. iSnap Social provides an easy way for brands to expand their reach and influence on social media networks. “The holy grail of social media marketing is enticing your customers to market on your behalf and there’s no better way to do that than photo sharing,” says iSnap Social CEO and Co-Founder Alexander Lowe.

iSnap Social users get an easy way to take high quality photos, branded with the featured company’s graphic overlays and share them instantly. Featured brands and businesses get a unique tactic to engage customers, add fans and followers and gain insightful data. The iSnap Social cloud-based platform tracks metrics along the way, gathering usage statistics, conversions, time and demographic information. All data is viewable and exportable from the secure iSnap Social Cloud website.

The iSnap Social platform has already proved invaluable for Sacramento and nationally-based businesses alike. Customers that have successfully employed iSnap Social to aid their social media marketing campaigns include CBS Radio, Live Nation and Hyatt Resorts. Explains Doug Link, Theater Director for Imax Esquire Theater, “It is apparent with the reduction of marketing budgets and the proliferance of social media marketing, iSnap was an opportunity we could not afford to miss.”
