Optimize Facebook News Feed Presence

Issie Lapowsky discusses the tactics of how to optimize a business’ Facebook news feed presence at Inc.com. She suggested people can use EdgeRank to calculate three statistics:

1. How often two people interact on Facebook?
2. How many comments and likes a particular post has? And
3. How old the post is?

These statistics can certainly help business identify the popular messages and post the “right” messages to reach the target audience. In addition to EdgeRank, there are some other tactics:

1. Initiate a post with a question. Raising a question at the beginning is more effective in drawing responses than putting it in the end.
2. Fill-in-the-blank posts can also help advocate discussion.
3. Do NOT use industry jargons.
4. It is fine to ask for comments and likes.
5. Post photos and video of an advertising campaign and ask for feedback.
6. Interact with your friends’ or fans’ friends/fans.
7. Create a welcome page for new users.
8. Add Facebook’s “Like” button on your company’s website.
9. Know when your friends/fans read your posts and upload the messages at the time when they are on Facebook.

I believe Lapowsky’s suggestions are helpful. One of my research projects is also on social media, with the attempt to answer a contemporary question discusses here. I hope I can share my research findings with you soon. For now, how useful do you think of these tactics?

Is It OK for Hotel Staff to Wear Piercings and Tattoos?

Time has changed. I see more and more college students wearing piercings and tattoos nowadays, but is it OK for hotel staff to wear piercings and tattoos? The answer is “no, no, no.” According a report at USAToday.com, customers across the board do not want to see any hotel workers with pierced eyebrow, pierced tongue, tattooed arm, or nose ring. Some may argue that tattooed and pierced workers may seem more acceptable in edgy boutique hotels as compared to the big franchised hotels, but the survey results did not find any differences among a variety of lodging products. Many respondents believe people who wear visible tattoos and piercings are taking a high risk of their professional lives. If you stay in a hotel, do you mind being served by tattooed and/or pierced staff? What if you are the one who makes the hiring decision?
