MORE SHOW, LESS COMMERCIAL
Rachel Karten speaks with the little joy coffee shop, focusing on their social media strategy, but I think the main point applies to how all of us talk about our work, despite which medium we use.
RK: What advice would you give to a local business that is trying to find success on social media?
CL: Social media is replacing television. And just like in television, there’s the shows you tune-in to watch and there’s the commercials you suffer through. Stop making commercials. Be the show.
Did you see it? “Stop making commercials. Be the show.”
One of the longest running TV shows isn’t about the contents of storage containers, it’s about the stories that weave around them.
Telling people that we have a show coming up is a commercial.
Planning, booking, the travels, the build up, talking to fans, borrowing gear, making the flyer for the show – that’s the story.
We don’t need to start making videos, we need to tell better stories.
